After MK David Amsalem last week attacked Supreme Court President Esther Hayut, who responded to him – and Netanyahu called for an animal to apologize, Amsalem responded tonight (Sunday) to Netanyahu’s call and said: “I am disappointed with him.”
Amsalem was interviewed tonight on News 13 and said, “I did not exaggerate in criticizing animals. No one will teach me about style. For example, I will not go down to the level of Minister Yair Lapid who called people ‘dogs’ or ‘descendants of Yigal Amir.’ “Lieberman who told me that I had come down to a low level. After all, if I had talked about Netanyahu like that, they would have said of me that I was a milkman.” Amsalem even expressed bewilderment, “When Torch called me a ‘Rottweiler dog, did anyone call him to the studios?’.
“I believe in the authority of the court, but some of the judges act like a Meretz branch. When asked if the things he says about Netanyahu’s opinion, he replied:” I never asked Netanyahu what and how to say. I was very disappointed with his call to live. “If Netanyahu does not go with us, I will go against the government, no one will teach me how to speak.”
“We will make a deep reform of the justice system. If Netanyahu does not go with us, Reid Mi Lips – I will be the first to go against the government.”
Regarding Barkat’s attempts to be elected Likud leader, Amsalem said: “He is not a Likud member, he will not vote, he does not symbolize value. Let Torch take him.”
As you may recall, last week Amsalem went up to the podium in the plenum and attacked Hayut: “What did Mrs. Hayut drink!” Zak Amsalem. “Do not think that we are lovers, instead of writing nonsense that you yourself do not understand, write Mr. Amsalem I do not tolerate you, do not tolerate the Muslims and not the Makhlouf and I will not give you help why it is ours.”
“If Amsalem David can not petition as a Knesset member as a public petitioner. When did you not receive a petition from the redheads and from this association, and those are there … all the leftists … and I MK can not petition?!, You underestimate 70 % Of the people of Israel. All those whose name does not end with “Vish”.
Last week on Thursday, Judge Esther Hayut decided to respond to Amsalem and asked him to stop inciting, “Yesterday I sadly heard the words you swallowed from the Knesset podium towards me and my fellow judges and not for the first time,” Hayut wrote.

“I wanted to tell you David Amsalem,” Hayut rarely wrote. “Live and breathe to this day, because we chose human love and respect for others. This is how my late grandmother raised me and raised the values that go with me all the way.”
“I started my career as a judge in the Tel Aviv Local Affairs Court 32 years ago, and it is a role that without the same love of man, every man, can not be filled with faith. So no, there is nothing farther from the truth than to say about me I wonder where all the poison and hatred that brings you to say such harsh things about people you do not know at all come from. “
“And yes,” the senior judge wrote, “I certainly enjoy drinking a glass of good arak sometimes with family and friends, but it has nothing to do with the judgments I write and my friends write. These are written in a completely clear opinion according to the law, and to the best of our legal ability – only It”.
“We have come a long way in life, you and I – I to the Supreme Court and you were a minister in Israel and today a Member of Knesset. I believe that from the place we were privileged to have we – me and you – must do good, contribute to unity in Israel and not sow division and incitement. Think about it.”
MK Amsalem was quick to respond to Hayut’s letter in Gali Yisrael and said: “I am surprised by the letter because judges usually do not answer public figures. Some of the racists I meet tell me ‘my daughter married Mizrahi’. Mrs Hayut: If you were a decent woman you would be “Proposes to the committee for the selection of judges that there will be some ultra-Orthodox and Ethiopian Spanish judges.”
“Second thing,” Amsalem added, “I’m no less smart than you, I’m willing to sit down with you on any subject you choose and understand who you’re dealing with. I know when you go on my head and you went on my head because you can not stand what I do. “You are infected with the matter and you know that as soon as the government is replaced, far-reaching changes will be made at the top. You rejected three petitions for me that day. Nothing comes out randomly, you increased your work and wrote nonsense.”
“I suggest you go on the radio and explain to the people of Israel why my uncle Amsalem has no right to stand. If it seems to you that I, as an MK, have no right to stand – then explain to me who does? “Do not forget that you were chosen by a committee of politicians, I was chosen by the public. You divide the public in your decisions. If I thought it was a discretion I would accept it. I see pure evil here.”
Amsalem added: “The Supreme Court is leaking its rulings to the press, through the media I heard about the rejection of my petitions for the first time, is this how the Supreme Court is run? So you’re telling me with lip candy what a sweet story about transitions? I do not hate Ashkenazis, they are my brother. Not all Ashkenazis are racists but all racists are Ashkenazi. Why is she distributing the letter to the media? Because she knows the truth. She knows she did something he would not do, she thought I was stupid, she did not mind hurting herself twice. “

“I’m surprised,” Amsalem said at the end, “because usually judges don’t answer public figures. I’m no less smart than you, willing to sit down with you on any issue you choose and figure out who you’re dealing with. I know when I’m going head to head.”
Former Prime Minister Netanyahu said in response to MK Dudi Amsalem’s remarks: “I have now spoken with Supreme Court President Esther Hayut, and told her that MK Dudi Amsalem’s remarks are not acceptable to me, do not reflect my position and were said I did not know.”
“In a democracy there is no factor that is immune to criticism, but criticism must be factual, to the body of the matter and not to the body of a person. The cynical attempt of stakeholders to attribute to me the words of MK Amsalem and make a lie is political capital is ridiculous “To establish a state commission of inquiry to be appointed by President Hayut, to investigate the serious espionage case of the police against the citizens of Israel.”
Netanyahu’s remarks about the source who tried to attribute Amsalem’s remarks to him came following the hasty response of Minister Gideon Saar, who said: “The voice is the voice of my uncle and the hands of Bibi. “From a systematic campaign to de-legitimize all the law institutions in the country that stem from a personal interest in the context of Netanyahu’s trial. The purpose of the attacks is to intimidate Israeli judges. I will not let them destroy the country!”
