Amid rumors that he is likely to announce his break from Shas to launch his own independent party, former Shas leader MK Eli Yishai received death threats. The latest threat warns him that if he announces his own party “I will stab you”. The threat was made over the phone.
Knesset security officials about two weeks ago assigned a bodyguard to Yishai fearing his outspoken right-wing views may have resulted in threats against him.

Who made the threat?
Imagine what could be achieved if the Chareidim would unite and act now besholom.Its a one off opportunity, to have the Chareidim in a strong position to influence the next government if not have a major share in it. All that will be lost ch”v if there is disunity.
Is this what happens when you don’t walk in lockstep with Shas? Hmm, maybe Rabbi Amnon Yitzhak & Chaim Amsalem were on to something.
not getting involved
they were pre deri during yishais tenure
It’s terrible
A society missing meshugenes can’t be from the human creed. That’s how H-m created his world. Denying this fact is like claiming to be an angel. The reaction as well as the renunciation and acceptance is what defines us as unique.
#2. Therein lies the problem. There is no real achdus, not even respect for another position.
If it were only the case that the Torah world could put its self serving nonsense behind them and work for the greater good. That would bring many people closer to Torah and transform the Country. They should be educating, not threatening or attacking.
