  • Businessman Roni Mana claims Netanyahu called his voters uneducated.
  • Mana alleges Netanyahu admitted to manipulating voters' emotions.
  • Mana cited Netanyahu's past support for a two-state solution.
  • Mana also criticized Netanyahu's handshake with Yasser Arafat.
  • Mana accused Netanyahu's wife and son of being part of a "crime family."

Businessman Roni Mana, formerly close to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and now a sharp critic, has launched an unprecedented attack against the premier. Mana's harsh words were a response to a video in which Netanyahu warned right-wing voters against complacency, stating the choice was between "the right and Palestine."

Mana accused Netanyahu of contempt for his own supporters, citing past actions. "Bibi speaks to the brainless," Mana stated. "You, Mr. Bibi, said in your own voice 'two states,' you shook hands with the great murderer Yasser Arafat, you returned territories from Judea and Samaria. Only a brainless idiot believes your lies."

He further asserted, "Bibi, Arabs will not be part of the government. If there is anyone who will form a coalition with them to survive, it is you." Mana also claimed to have had private conversations with the Netanyahus, alleging the Prime Minister deliberately belittles his supporters. "This is exactly what he told me, my voters are uneducated, they work on emotion and that's what I do. I swear to you, this is what he told me, and he does exactly this thing again and again. He told me several times, and his wife too, that their voters are uneducated and he plays on their emotions."

In a separate recent tweet, Mana also leveled severe accusations against the Prime Minister's wife and son, calling them "a crazy psychiatric woman! A crazy son like his mother! In short, a cuckoo's nest! A crime family in every sense of the word! You know what a crime boss is, it's an organization with soldiers and you are his soldiers!"
