Likud MK Tally Gotliv fully stands by her conduct yesterday, when she berated a court guard who was ejecting her from a courtroom at the instruction of a judge as an “animal” and a “Judenrat,” referring to Nazi-installed Jewish administrations tasked with implementing Nazi policies during World War II.

Despite being roundly condemned by Likud ministers, including Justice Minister Yariv Levin, and by many other politicians and officials, the firebrand lawmaker posts a video of the incident, claiming the guard was “blatantly violent” toward her and that the order to eject her was “given without authority.”

After it became clear that the guard has served hundreds of days in reserve duty since the current war began, Gotliv accuses him of “whining in the press.”

“I heard you’re very offended because I called you an ‘animal.’ Such a poor guy, after you treated me and my body like an animal. What you did isn’t at all different from average gaslighting,” she claims.
