The Yisrael Beitenu party was compelled to pull its newest election campaign video, which it released on Sunday morning.
Chareidim were seen in the video with the text “we don’t ask that they serve in Sayeret Matkal, just that they serve” as well as “we don’t ask that they work overtime, just that they work”.
Once again, the party headed by Lieberman elicited the anger of the chareidi tzibur, as the video was a broad attack against everyone, as if no one is serving in the IDF or working. When Rav Elisha Levi saw the video, he warned the party to pull it immediately or face a lawsuit. The video was pulled.
The rav’s daughter wrote to the party, and on Facebook, explaining the video is a general attack on an entire population, in which there are many serving in the military and members of the workforce. She questions where he gets the nerve to generalize as the party does in this video, citing members of her family have served in the IDF, as do many chareidim.
Lieberman’s campaign is premised greatly on chareidi bashing, hoping this will earn him additional votes from the Russian voting community.

he is such a low life, it’s incredible to which extend this chazir is willing to go in order to gain votes.
If Lieberman would be running in the 2020 US elections, he would long have been removed for crimes like racism and discrimination.
Why is it normal that the high court just ruled that Arye Deri is “biased” and cannot give Ron Kobi a hearing????
As I always say, this is the corrupt Medina. Don’t know why the Zionists didn’t copy the US constitution, it would have helped them a lot
