Moshe Gafni of the opposition UTJ party launches an attack on Prime Minister Naftali Bennett from the Knesset plenum rostrum, calling him a “worthless piece of crap” and accusing him of being responsible for the recent uptick in coronavirus cases.
“He comes to be prime minister, not five days go by, and the coronavirus is back,” Gafni complains to the mostly empty hall, egged on by Likud MK David Amsalem, who also throws insults at Bennett from his seat.
“You remember, he stood here, telling us what to do,” Gafni caterwauls. “What are we supposed to do, you worthless piece of crap. What did you do in this week?… Shame.”
“Heaven forbid, I was in the coalition with him, I would bury my face in the ground,” concludes Gafni.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
