The battle for religious Zionism: Prime Minister Naftali Bennett this evening (Sunday) reacted sharply to the publication of the chairman of the “Religious Zionism” list, Bezalel Smutrich, from this weekend, when Smutrich attacked the right-wing party. In his response, Bennett claimed that ” It does not represent Zionism or religion. “
As mentioned, it all started during the end of the satiety, so Smutrich published a picture with the pictures of the 11 people killed in the terrorist attack that hit Israel last week. Alongside the photo, the Knesset member and former minister wrote: “Even this difficult bloody weekend, we should remember and thank Ayelet Shaked and the other members of her right who at least prevented a fifth election, when they formed a left-wing government with supporters of terrorism.
Tonight, the prime minister chose to respond in a poignant post of his own, saying: “This weekend I did not come to comment on this shocking publication. I dealt with security issues.
Whoever spent years in nocturnal ambushes with people from * all * parts of the nation,
Whoever saw friends wounded in battle,
Anyone who remembers the heartbeat on the way to action, the smell of the tank or diesel in weapon cleaning,
Can not, just could not publish such a post.The people of Israel will defeat their enemies – together ????????

“The silent majority knows very well: the values of the religious Zionism on which I grew up are statehood and love of state, a common bearer of the yoke,
“Significant military service and contribution to the state, a man as capable as he is, the unity of the people at all costs, a stubborn stand against terrorism and not burning hatred during a campaign,” Bennett added.
The Prime Minister summed up the series of tweets by stinging Smutrich and for not serving as a soldier in the IDF: In arms cleaning, could not, simply could not publish such a post. The people of Israel will defeat their enemies – together. “
Shortly after Bennett’s announcement was published, Smutrich chose to respond in a statement of his own: “Anyone who has used bereaved families to gather voters and today refuses to even meet with them, in order to please his pro-terror partners, would prefer not to talk about a blood-soaked topic.”
