MK Elazar Stern Questions Religious Jews' Loyalty, MK Yinon Azulai Responds Sharply
A heated confrontation took place on Tuesday during a Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee meeting focused on freezing yeshiva students' arrests. MK Elazar Stern provocatively asked, "How can you not hate the Haredim when you see them during Bein Hazmanim in the Galilee?" This comment sparked strong reactions from the Haredi MKs present. MK Yinon Azulai of Shas sharply retorted, "I do not know a Jew who hates another Jew. If you hate Jews, you need to examine your own Judaism." The exchange occurred amid ongoing debates over the controversial issue of yeshiva students' military conscription.
