Quote of the Day

They want to wipe out every spark of Judaism. Merav Michaeli is acting feral regarding public transportation on Shabbos, not caring about the laws of the State of Israel with just her campaign in front of her eyes. Lapid goes to eat in a restaurant of lobster and shrimp, and Liberman tries to hurt us in any possible way. There is still someone who thinks we will run with these crazy people?

  -- MK Moshe Gafni (UTJ) at a campaign event

two things in that statement jump out at me. 

The obvious one is that Netanyahu also eats in treif restaurants, places that serve lobster and shrimp, yet it never bothered him or prevented him from supporting Netanyahu.

The more interesting one, to me, is that he criticized Lapid for eating treif (shrimp and lobster) rather than for being anti-haredi. Until now they always opposed Lapid because they claimed he is anti-haredi and has worked to hurt the Haredi community in many ways. That is now reserved for Liberman while Lapid is simply someone who eats treif. I dont know if it means anything, but it stands out to me.
