interesting how he stays faithful to the party despite being thrown out, though he is not happy with Aryeh Deri. The whole interview gave me a sad feeling about him.

I feel bad for the Members of Knesset of Israel. They are treated badly, probably don't earn much of a salary for their work on behalf of the public, their movement is restricted, they are basically tormented in their service of the public.

I feel horrible. All that they have to suffer, just so they can serve little old me and you.

MK Nissim Zeev (Shas) complained about the recent trip nearly 60 MKs took to Poland for International Holocaust Day.

Right when he got back from Poland he went to the Knesset and complained about the trip - Zeev said they got to Poland, and the trip was important and the Knesset was able to send a strong international message. However, the trip could have been done in a more bountiful way - they didn't get to sleep, they had to eat sandwiches much of the day, and sometimes they were in places with no lavatories. Zeev said they should have been able to stop at a hotel to relax, have a tea and coffee, etc.

poor baby. they had to eat sandwiches. sandwiches they didn't pay for. They only make upwards of 35,000 NIS per month (some make more), in addition to having additional budgets for various types of expenses, and trips that are paid for either via private sponsors or from public coffers.. Poor Nissim Zeev and other MKs just had to suffer through 2 days of a trip to a foreign country and had to sustain themselves with just sandwiches.

we'll offer you a double for today's Quote of the Day, both from Haredi politicians, one that might be calling the State of Israel the Third Beis Hamikdash and the other invoking the "No True Scotsman" argument. Both quotes were said during a discussion in Knesset surrounding the No Confidence motion submitted by Shas and UTJ.

It is not the time to discuss this on erev Tisha b'Av. The spies spoke badly about the land, and then, everyone lifted their voices and cried. It's enough to cry over the things we are doing to ourselves.
This government is bringing about the destruction of the Third Temple. 

  -- MK Nissim Zeev (Shas)
I was not aware the Third Temple had been built already so that this government could be causing its destruction. Unless Zeev is comparing the State of Israel to the Third Temple, which is not a very haredi belief...

2.
On erev Tisha b'Av we are mourning for the destruction of the Temple that was destroyed due to baseless hatred. This is not the appropriate time to argue. We are coming with the objective of repairing and improving the situation.
Just as I pray three times a day, I condemn all forms of violence. The way of violence is not acceptable in Judaism. A person who holds a stone in his hands on Shabbos cannot possibly be Haredi. Maybe he is impersonating one.
