Deri and breast • "Only three Eastern in the government, no Arab or Haredi"

In a status by Aryeh Deri on his Facebook page a little while ago, he attacked the composition of the government, and stimulates dormant sectarian demons again:

"Government Establishment Day is a holiday, the people is the sovereign and he celebrates the oath of representative members of the government, it is a democracy, the government is supposed to represent most parts of the nation, equally in volume to the population," begins Deri.

"That is not the situation here, in Israel there are seven symbols of power, not one of them is Eastern, Arab, or Haredi. In the government formed today, not one Orthodox minister will take an oath. Also the role of minorities will disappear; no Druze or Arab minister will take an oath today.
"About half of the population in Israel is Sephardic, but in the government of 22 ministers, only three of them will take a ministers oath today - and they rank low. Many citizens of the State of Israel live in the periphery, but only two out of every incoming government members live there."

Deri continues: "It is not pleasant at all to be the destroyer of joys, but these are the data unfortunately. I expect it will be a government that will put a priority concern for the poor, non-represented sectors, residents of the periphery.
"I also expect this Government not to display a brutal economic plan and in the name of saving the economy will not forget those whose voice is not heard."

He concludes with a determined promise: "We from the opposition will make sure to mention the existence of all those, and make sure they are not left behind."
