Israeli House Speaker MK Avigdor Lieberman sharply attacked Shas, Arie Deri, chairman of the Shas movement for his remarks against Russian immigrants, and condemned Likud members and white-blue for their silence.

Lieberman wrote in his Facebook account that "Aryeh Deri wrote yesterday that I demanded" "NIS 2 billion for immigrants from the United States who do not work and do not pay taxes." In addition, Deri questioned whether Jews remained throughout the former Soviet Union. "

"This is not just a plot and a gross lie, but a net anti-Semitism and racism to its name. We demanded that a minimum income for all living pensioners be guaranteed only 70% of the minimum wage. I emphasize that it is for all pensioners regardless of gender and race religion, in contrast to the slander of Aryeh Deri." , Lieberman wrote.

Lieberman also added that "treating immigrants as a population that does not work and does not pay taxes, including the doubt whether they are Jews or remain Jews in the former USSR, is a place that is unbearable. The Likud sheep silence, coalition leaders and blue-and-white leaders are further outraged. None found it appropriate to condemn the racist and unprecedented statement against an entire public serving in the military, making reserves, working and paying taxes. "

Lieberman referred to what Minister Deri said yesterday: "You have also demanded over NIS 2 billion for immigrants from the Commonwealth who do not work and do not pay taxes. You demanded the opening of 17 absorption offices in the CIS, countries that doubt whether they have any Jews at all. Do you dare to blame the ultra-Orthodox as extortionists? "
