"We have never been suspected for criminal acts" • Representatives 'words of wisdom'

The original plan was that the end panel of the Conference of Representatives was to provide titles from the three vertices: Aryeh Deri, Shas's side of the map, Yaakov Litzman, from the Chassidish side of Agudat Yisrael and Moshe Gafni, from the Lithuanian side of Degel HaTorah.

But Deri decided not to turn up, and Eli Yishai, who was quickly invited, was on his way to a cabinet meeting which probably dealt with the southern firing issues (and the decision on the subject), so the organizers were forced to make do with the Gimmel representatives.

If initially disappointed, they quickly supplied the panels with their goods. With cynical statements and a few bites of humor, they managed to bump the audience, to the delight of the facilitators, journalist Yaakov Reinitz, from the Chassidish side (Hamodia), and Aryeh Zisman, from the Lithuanian side (Yated Neeman).

Here are a bunch of interesting statements made by the two men. One of them (Deputy Minister of Health) who arrived in his car (details on Ynet- who does not understand why a Minister who travels long distances has the rights to expensive cars), accompanied by two police motorcycles who escorted him straight to the Nir Etzion hotel. No less.

Our comments are in brackets, of course.

Criminal acts? Not by us

Gafni: In the Netanyahu era there are no wars and there are no suicide attacks and there's a reason, he does severe actions but does not go to war, those especially who said they go for peace, in their time there is war. (Oops, what exactly is happening in the south, Gafni?).

Litzman: I sit in the government and do not know anything on security, all I know is only from the security writings, we do not interfere in such issues, the Foreign Affairs and Defense committee also don’t hear anything, Arab's also sit at the committee so don’t expect them to say anything, the security subject will not be on the agenda at the elections. Only the Likud wants this, for the other party's it is not good. (1. Atzmaut needs it like fresh air and to pass the threshold. 2.'s that's what the cabinet is there for, that's Yishai's place ... not yours).

Gafni: Why do we not have an increase in the elections? Where are we stuck? We are debating this question again and again, in the last election at the Orthodox ballots, we reached only 60 percent, we will do all we can to reach seven mandates in the next election (and continue to tell the media about the controversy, it is a recipe for raising the number of mandates).

Gafni: Members of Yahadut Hatorah were never suspected or accused of criminal acts; they do not care for themselves only for the general public. (Chaim Yosef Bluff, Deri's advisor, maybe you should have sent Aryeh Deri after all? Gafni knows how to whip and it's good to have someone around to answer him).

Gafni: We invest money and power all year and at the end people vote for Shas, why? (Turn to the trio unity, take an example).
