  • Yisrael Beiteinu party headquarters received hateful phone calls with racist threats.
  • Callers told party members to "go back to Russia" and "may your name be erased."
  • The party released recordings of the abusive calls to the public.
  • The calls contained curses and messages like "die, I am a proud deserter."

The headquarters of the Yisrael Beiteinu party has been inundated with hateful phone calls, including racist threats and curses, following the party's recent political activities. Callers reportedly told party members to "go back to Russia," "may your name be erased," and "die, I am a proud deserter." The nature of the calls suggests a strong anti-immigrant or anti-Russian sentiment directed at the party, which draws significant support from immigrants from the former Soviet Union.

The party has made the recordings of these calls public, allowing citizens to hear the nature of the abuse directed at its staff. This move by Yisrael Beiteinu aims to expose the extent of the vitriol and potentially garner public sympathy or support against such hate speech. The specific context for the surge in calls was not detailed, but it follows a period of heightened political discourse in Israel.
