Eli Yishai: "Stop using the pathetic word "brother"

Threats, spins and lowering your hands are towards the end, and we are preparing for the presentation of the new government members - their success in bringing about reality you prayed for, not one orthodox at your side as you take photographs on the lawns of the President's home.

But the day after, at the end of this triumph brought on by those who captivated the Prime Minister to fulfill their whims, the election in 2013 will be remembered as one where a whole community, traditional and religious was banned simply because of their beliefs and perceptions.

Beautiful words cannot sweeten the fracture, and the depth of the rift created in the current period - but will be remembered for years to come forward. I'm not complaining about Shas not entering the coalition, which although certainly offends me, but it disturbs me much more, that this reality was not created by poor disagreements, it was due for one simple reason: to see the haredim on the outside, no matter what.

Anyone who claims otherwise is not telling the truth and belittling an entire public's mind. The stain in boycotting the public that I represent, the traditional, orthodox and secular will not protest. Pretty, pretty pathetic to use the word "brother" who the one who is trying to use it at every possible chance obviously doesn’t know its meaning. If they would have banned orthodox European parliamentarians in one country or another, the new duo would immediately cry out. "Jews do not expel Jews." But apparently "Jews boycotting Jews" is legitimate.

And when Lapid will move on to his next assignment, in the form of damage to the settlers and settlements in the West Bank, to you, do not, my fellow residents, knock on our doors for help, we will already stand and we shall not wait for a call, we have always been there and always will be, Shas does not intend to turn the sword pierced in her back to you, although the conduct purports to represent you, we will show you, even from our new place, that we stay true to our perception and our belief that we are real brothers.

With our heads held high and proud we will go to the opposition, our war there will be a war waged contrast to the war held against us, no boycotts and ostracisms, but fighting for the right and duty. Those whose voices you have tried to silence, and in less than two years, when we stand again before elections, I know that he prefers the way of understanding, dialogue and embrace than the way of boycott, the distance and extremism. He will not let him continue the line which was taken during the last few weeks causing us to become a divided society.
