Realizing his party is hurting in the polls, Bayit Yehudi leader Naftali Bennett is using social media to launch attacks against other parties, focusing on other right-wing parties in particular. In one post he wrote “What do Bouji, Lapid, Gal-On, Netanyahu, Lieberman, Eli Yishai, Deri and Kahlon have in common, they all supported giving away portions of Israel at one time or another. We will never permit giving even a centimeter of Eretz Yisrael away”.

In response, Yachad party candidate Baruch Marzel stated on Thursday, 30 Shevat, “Good morning Naftali Bennett. You remembered to awaken as you throw a grenade inside the armored personnel carrier and harm forming a future right-wing coalition government”.

“I just want to remind you that during your tenure they destroyed tens of Jewish homes. The PA (Palestinian Authority) has widened its hold on Yerushalayim. You sat in a government that released hundreds of terrorists and above all, you are advancing an autonomy plan which means making portions of our holy land hefker. In other words, a Palestinian state as Ayelet Shaked explained on TV”.

Marzel added “by the way, Eli Yishai fought at our side during Gush Katif. You Naftali Bennett, for some reason I did not see you there. So check yourself before giving mussar to others”.
