The Israeli Yated Ne’eman called on its readers not to participate in the ‘Million Man March’ in Yerushalayim tonight in support of the judicial reform proposed by the government.

“We are obviously going in the direction of the right, on the instructions of our rabbis, but this battle does not belong to us and we are not joining it,” the newspaper explained.

“We are in favor of judicial reform and against the grip of liberal terror on people’s lives through dictatorship, but no ultra-Orthodox will set foot (at this demonstration),” the editorial continued.

“Whoever participates in extreme right-wing demonstrations is not part of our community, he is not one of ours, that’s all. He is deprived of his citizenship in the house of God. His passport has expired.”

The Israeli Yated is not in any way connected to the American Yated Ne’eman.

Organizers of Thursday’s rally presented the demonstration as a response against the vast protest movement that opposes the reform.

The movement in favor of the reform is led by the new Tekuma 23 organization, created by Likud parliamentarian Avichay Buaron, as well as by Beraleh Krombie, a strategic communication advisor and an ultra-Orthodox Chabad follower. –I24 News
