Right-wing agitator blocks car of former PM Ehud Barak for the second time in days

Far-right provocateur Mordechai David and a number of other activists were spotted blocking the car of former prime minister Ehud Barak this evening, days after doing the same to former Supreme Court president Aharon Barak — no relation to the former prime minister — in Tel Aviv.

A video shared by the Kan public broadcaster shows David walking alongside the former premier as he heads to his car. Barak appears unbothered by the activist’s taunts.

“What’s up, you complete nobody?” David asks, bringing his phone, which is recording the interaction, up to Barak’s face. “You complete nobody!” he says again.

Barak doesn’t respond, but grins and pats him on the cheek.

“You won’t have your civil uprising,” David tells the former prime minister, referring to Barak’s comments last May when he urged “civil revolt” to bring down the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.”

“They’re blocking your car, they’re blocking your car, Ehud Barak, you nobody!” David jeers as they enter the parking lot, where his fellow activists are stationed.

“A civil uprising, as if,” David repeats, as the video ends.

David and his associates are reportedly the subjects of an ongoing police investigation after they blocked Aharon Barak’s car on Thursday night.

According to Hebrew media, David is to be interrogated alongside several other men on suspicion of disturbing public order after they stood in front of the 89-year-old retired judge’s car while David lambasted him as a “dictator” and “criminal.”

Police are expected to summon David for questioning, the Walla outlet reported.
