\u2022<\/p>\r\nThe program interviewed a woman named Yehudit from Jerusalem, who talked about the tension she feels every time she goes out into the street with her children, in the shops, in the supermarket. Yehudit: You immediately notice that secular people put a 'mark of Cain' on you, and the media in general... They stay away from me, from my children, sometimes tell me: 'Put the mask over your nose, it's not enough.' Stay away from me, it's insulting, but I feel more sorry for the secular public who doesn't know enough. And I blame the media and the leadership more, for not giving the secular public enough knowledge to understand that the Haredi public is different, that it is treated differently, and that it needs to be understood and accepted. Amalia: You say you blame the leadership. Who, in your opinion, represents you within the government, within the decision-making structure? Yehudit: Look, the Haredi MKs are supposed to represent me. To tell you that I am satisfied with the form of representation and what they are doing? Not enough. Amalia: You know, but the Haredis are perhaps the best allies from the Prime Minister's perspective. Don't you feel that as a Haredi woman? Yehudit: No, I think he is exploiting the secular public's hatred for the Haredi public, to the benefit of his failure in handling Corona. At least his partial failure. So instead of coming and saying I failed here, I failed there, there is nothing more unifying than hatred and he is simply exploiting this power. Amalia: And in your opinion, is this opinion of yours about Netanyahu something that has changed over time? Yehudit: Yes, I am a far-rightist, I voted for Haredi parties, and I really admired Bibi as a leader and I think he is starting to screw up. Like, I don't like to say that, he can come and explain to me differently, right now, in my view, in the view of my public, Bibi is screwing up. Amalia: Because from your perspective, what is the most Disappointing? Yehudit: First, the fact that he comes with a statement and tells the entire Haredi public, even though your rabbis said to open Torah studies, I call on you to listen to me and not open them. I saw that, I said: What, is he a clown? You take a public, you take the most sacred thing to them, and you tell them, 'Don't listen'? 'Come to me'? Like, it won't happen, it won't happen. Benjamin Netanyahu, we elected you as leader and we won't elect you next time if you don't learn to treat us as a public with our own needs. As far as I'm concerned, I see it as a family. All citizens of the State of Israel are a family, and in a family there are many types of children, with us many, with you maybe two or three and each one has their own needs. And a good mother and father give each child their needs without fear that the other siblings will protest and when they need to discriminate, they discriminate. There's nothing to be done. The Haredi public right now needs discrimination and I call on all leaders to discriminate us for the better, without fear of what the secular public will say.\r\n
