"You want to burn the Torah, you have been chosen for that "

MK Eichler spoke yesterday at the plenary, referring to the fast seventeenth of Tamuz and the disasters that occurred, including breaking of the luchas and the burning of the Torah by Apostamus. "Today, unfortunately, they want to burn the Torah precisely as we are under Jewish rule. Not G-d forbid to burn the Torah itself, but the belief and soul and receiving of the Torah at Sinai.

"You incite 24 hours a day throughout the media against the Torah" cried Eichler and was repeatedly interrupted by heckling, especially from the benches of Yesh Atid, and in part by MK Dov Lipman. "You are threatening us with threats," he added.



Chairman MK Moshe Feiglin had to clarify: "MK Yisrael Eichler is right and he represents the constituency, and if that's how they feel he is allowed to say it."
"You present a budget with economic policies designed to force on the children of Israel an education other than what their parents and their teachers for over 3000 years taught them," Eichler continued to attack. "The nerve, of the Minister of Education, and I want to ask him if a religious Minister would be the Minister of Education, and he would withhold a budget from the schools who don’t teach about Shabbos, would you not be outraged? Would you not take to the streets? In my eyes this is a decree.

"We and the Torah sages believe that the budget is designed to stop our religion and our faith. While you're cutting 50% of the yeshiva budget, which is different to any other budget, this budget is war and breaking tools. You want to withdraw their children astray. I have no complaints to Yesh Atid, for that you have been chosen, I have claims to Likud and Habayit Hayehudi who have a part in it.

"It won't help you; we have been promised that the Torah will not be forgotten from his descendants."
