MK (Yahadut Hatorah) Yisrael Eichler begins his interview with the Knesset Channel on the offensive, as is his norm. “The modern world like the State of Israel, which is a democracy as the Soviet Union was a democracy [interrupted by MK Dr. Nachman Shai of Machane Tzioni]. You will listen as we must listen to you and your toeiva flag which you proudly support.

They are simply anti-democratic…”

Eichler used an angry tone in commenting to his Knesset colleague Shai, for his party speaks out openly supporting the rights of the toeiva community throughout Israel.
