Former state attorney at protest: PM changing country’s identity for his own benefit
Appearing at a Jerusalem rally, former state attorney Moshe Lador thanks Benjamin Netanyahu “for making this wonderful camp wake up.”
Lador tells those gathered: “If we don’t stop the legislation, the illusion that we have a progressive, Western country here will disappear.
“Herzl prophesied the realization of the Zionist project and Ben-Gurion established the state of the Jewish people, a Jewish state in all its glory. And now through his actions the prime minister — who is accused of serious corruption in public office [and] who, amid a glaring conflict of interest, is conducting himself selfishly and recklessly — is rushing to change the identity of the country for his own benefit.”
