Businessman Roni Mana Slams Likud Voters as 'Brainless Idiots'

Businessman Roni Mana has launched a scathing verbal attack on voters of the Likud party, calling them "brainless" and "idiots" for allegedly falling for political "spin." Mana's remarks were triggered by a tweet from Knesset Member Yulia Malinovsky of the Yisrael Beiteinu party.

Malinovsky's tweet criticized the Likud for attempting to disqualify the Joint List party ahead of elections, while alleging a close working relationship between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ahmad Tibi. She presented voting records showing the Likud and Arab parties voting together against her proposed legislation, including measures to halt medical treatments for terrorists and cease services to Gaza.

Mana amplified this criticism, stating, "How much can you play with the minds of Likudniks, don't they have brains, such idiots?" He further recalled Netanyahu's desire to include Mansour Abbas in his government, a move reportedly blocked by Bezalel Smotrich, concluding, "Likudniks, they play with your minds or you have no minds."

Mana also highlighted the recurring pattern of the Likud attempting to disqualify the Joint List just before elections, contrasting it with what he described as the "most fruitful collaborations in the Knesset" between Netanyahu and Tibi throughout their terms. Malinovsky's tweet included examples of these alleged collaborations on legislation concerning medical treatments for terrorists and defining Gaza as a hostile area.

This latest outburst from Mana against the Likud and the Netanyahu family follows a series of public confrontations. Mana, once a close confidant of Benjamin and Sara Netanyahu, recently intensified his attacks on the couple, responding to a tweet by protest activist Yishai HaDas that directly questioned Sara Netanyahu about a past alleged affair with the Prime Minister.
