Porush in Knesset: Opposition called Haredim 'Draft Dodgers Alliance'

In depth

MK Meir Porush attacked the opposition in the plenum following calls for political cooperation with the Haredi public. Porush condemned the incitement directed at the Haredi public and said: "You called us the 'Draft Dodgers Alliance.' It is a shame and a disgrace that you want us to be your partners after all the incitement you spread against us."

In his first speech in the 26th Knesset, Porush addressed the hypocrisy of those inciting against the Haredi public and Torah students. According to him, "You did not shy away from any slander. You pinned derogatory labels on us, you called us the 'Draft Dodgers Alliance,' as if the replacements would now be real servants, 19 Knesset members from the Arab parties."

Porush said: "We were not moved by your incitement, and we are also not moved by your caresses."
