It is clear that Shas leader Eli Yishai is not mincing words regarding the Yisrael Beitenu Party, warning voters last week that a strong Yisrael Beitenu in the 18th Knesset will lead to the destruction of the Jewish character of the state.

In his motzei Shabbos drasha, Maran Rav Ovadia Yosef Shlita stated a vote for “Yisrael Beitenu is a vote for Soton.

The Rav expounded on his comments, citing portions of the party’s platform which promotes civil marriage, the sale of pork. “They do not have Torah” explained the Rav, warning those who plan on voting for the party not to do so, not to succumb to a “yetzer hora”.

Yishai also pointed out that the alarming increase in violence in the nation’s public schools is another clear sign of the need to maintain the Jewish values in chinuch in the nation.
