‘Liberman, go home,’ Shas supporters chant in response to exit polls

Supporters of the ultra-Orthodox party Shas party celebrate the results of exit polls indicating that Finance Minister Avigdor Liberman, who heads the right-wing secularist Yisrael Beytenu party, will be sent to the opposition.

“Liberman, go home,” party activists chant as Shas leader Aryeh Deri speaks at a post-election event.

“You don’t need to shout that, he’s on the way there,” Deri adds in response to calls for Liberman to be sent to the “garbage dump.”

Liberman had pledged to send Haredi politicians to the “garbage dump” last year.
