A 29-year-old resident of Petach Tikvah has been taken into custody, believed to be the man who threatened Yesh Atid leader MK Yair Lapid on his Facebook page. The threat read �In Adar we will destroy the leftists including Yair Lapid and his friends. We will hang them as we did Haman and his sons.�
The rhetoric contained in the posting continues; ��The Magen David should be removed from the flag and replaced with a swastika� in reference to the election of Lapid and his colleagues to Knesset.
Police report the suspect in custody is connected with the so-called �price tag� attacks, adding after he was arrested he explained �I am allowed to express my opinion�.
He was remanded in the Petach Tikvah Magistrate�s Court on Wednesday morning 10 Adar 5773.

The Leftists can publicly threaten Chareidim on National airwaves and they get a pass. but when a chareidi threatens a Fashtinkine Leftist Lapid, he gets arrested. And they call Israel a Democracy
He might not be chareidi. He called him a leftist, not anti-chareidi. That’s because Lapid, in addition to being anti-chareidi is ALSO a leftist.
Since when is being a leftist a crime?
