Political commentator Amit Segal sharply criticized segments of the national religious Zionist community on Thursday for aligning with the center-left bloc in calls to exclude Haredim (ultra-Orthodox Jews) from the government. Segal expressed pity for what he termed "naive national religious Zionists" who, for three years, decried subservience to the Haredi community.
He pointed out that these same individuals reportedly agreed with anonymous advertisements against the Haredim in religious sector newspapers, which he claims were funded by the Kaplan protest movement. Segal stated that shortly after election exit polls were released, members of the "change bloc" and their media representatives began suggesting that the Haredim were, in fact, the ideal partners for forming a government.
Segal concluded by asserting that no other sector is as easily influenced as this group, implying a lack of consistent principle in their political maneuvering.
