The Democrats chairman Yair Golan slams coalition lawmakers for taking part in disturbances at the High Court of Justice, asserting that their actions are only a preview of what they will do if they lose the next election.
“The rioting of Likud MKs and the mouthpieces of Netanyahu’s poison machine at the Supreme Court today is a preview of the ‘Storming of the Capitol’ that will take place at the Supreme Court after the right’s defeat in the upcoming elections,” he tweets, referring to the January 6, 2021 riots in Washington, DC after Donald Trump lost the US presidential election.
The “poison machine” is the name some avowed critics of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu use for what they say is a network of pundits, journalists, influencers, and activists dedicated to besmirching the premier’s political rivals.
