As the cost of living in Israel soars, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine leads to wheat shortages, Berman Bakery, the largest bakery in Israel, announced this week that it is raising its bread prices by 8%. Another bakery made a similar announcement the next day.
During a discussion in the Knesset on Wednesday on rising food prices, Shas MK Moshe Abutbul protested against the hike in bread prices, unwrapping bread as a prop.
“You’ve lost it completely!” he cried. ” Give the Finance Minister bread. You raised the price of bread. Have you no shame?”
The Knesset Speaker angrily ordered that Abutbul be ejected from the plenum as according to law, MKs are prohibited from displaying props.

looks like bennet is too busy doing the daf to care
Point well received though! MK Abutbul, let me give you a 👍
What he did was ביזוי אוכל to bring it into a מקום מטונף
Bennet HaRasha seating shamelessly with all Arabs behind him laughing while the country is going up in flames.
The police are not responding to anti Semitic activities.
The police arresting victims of attempted attacks while they are unresponsive to the Arabs who attacked Jews who throw Molotov and try to run over pedestrians.
Bolshevik Liberman keeps denegarding religious anti Semetisim sentiments and all is quiet.
Bennet promise millions to build Arab towns as incentive to keep the bloodthirsty Arab MK who preach the IDF conscripts not to serve in the army.
On and on and on for what? To keep Benyamin Netanyahu out of government. This is the leftist DemocRats of Israel.
THIS IS WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU HAVE 120 PARTIES WITHOUT ACCOUNTABILITY TO MAJORITY AND ZERO UNITY.
HATEFUL JEW HATING JEWS RUNNING THE ONLY DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY IN “MIDDLE EAST”.
HAY CITIZENS OF STATE IF YOU CANT HAVE JEWISH UNITY AND BICKER OVER WHO DESERVE MORE KAVOD AND POWER AND SESTS, ISRAEL THEN YOU DESERVE LIBERMAN ARABS AND A THUG LIKE BENNET TO DESEMATE YOU.
Now go and eat Kavod.
They want you to be able to bring Chametz into the hospitals on Pesach, but Chas Veshalom to bring bread into the Knesset
@office addict and Just wondering . Excellent points
A bit unfair since Israel is among the countries most dependent on wheat being exported from the Black Sea region, so of course the price of products made from wheat will go up there, more than will be the case in the United States (which also exports wheat). Regardless of what evil or incompetence can be attributed to the current government, the Russia-Ukrainian War is not their fault.
YWN 10 point for the heading it had me chuckling..
