Shas MK MK Yinon Azoulay lashed out on Tuesday at Deputy Attorney General Gil Limon during a Knesset discussion on halting the arrests of bnei yeshivos, telling him that he will have blood on his hands if a civil war breaks out in Israel, chalilah.

“You and your Attorney General will bring about a civil war and bloodshed,” Azoulay exploded. “The blood will be on your hands. Why are you smiling? Shame on you!”

“Just once, be flexible and understand the gravity of the moment. What do you want? Bloodshed? Murder in the streets? Rise above yourselves. What have we come to? A Lomeid Torah in the State of Israel is afraid to walk the streets and has to disguise himself out of fear he’ll be arrested.”

‘The director of Netzach Yehuda was here and said that the arrests only harm the enlistment process. We want to create a temporary arrangement to stop the arrests only for those who sit and learn Torah, to stop the madness and hatred and prevent a civil war.’”

“If you could stop air and oxygen for the Chareidim and suffocate them—you would do it,” Azoulay added.

Last month, Azoulay said that Limon is the main culprit behind the sanctions against the Chareidi sector, and he directs Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara in her relentless persecution of the Chareidi sector.

“She is carrying out his bidding. He is the brain behind everything,” he said. “The only thing running through his backbone is hatred—hatred for the Chareidim, the right, and Netanyahu.”
