MK Yisrael Eichler from the UTJ party made a statement on Sunday evening that compared Yisrael Beiteinu’s leader, Avigdor Lieberman to British Labor Party leader and declared anti-Semite Jeremy Corbyn. “Evet [Avigdor] Lieberman is the Israeli Jeremy Corbyn, and his end will be a flaming fall, G-d willing. We must denounce him as Britain denounced Corbyn,” Eichler said. Rabbi Eichler was responding to the Saturday-night posting of a Russian-language video against the Chareidi-religious public and its way of life, which had caused great outrage in the Chareidi parties during the election campaign for the 21st Knesset. He added, “Looking at Lieberman’s activity, it is easy to see racism towards the Chareidi and Arab public in Israel,” and said that “Lieberman’s conduct violates the fundamental principles of the Jewish and democratic state.” (YWN Israel Desk – Jerusalem)
