Yisrael Beytenu MK Yulia Malinovsky says protest organizers cancelled her speech at an anti-overhaul rally in Yavne this evening due to her cosponsorship of a law that makes terrorist, nationalist or racist motivations an aggravating factor in crimes of sexual harassment and sexual assault.

“I am proud of this law and no one will cause me to be disloyal to my internal truth and values,” Malinosky writes on Twitter. “There is no contradiction between me being a right-wing liberal Zionist woman and my fight against this evil government.”
