Knesset Member Alex Kushnir (Israel House) caused a stir on Tuesday after he released a new video in which he resented claiming to be subject to ultra-orthodox checks. In the video, titled "The Connection between Nida, Purity, Rabbis and Sick Funds," Kushner said that "health funds are subsidizing tests in case of doubt about a woman after Nida," and called for the phenomenon to cease. "It happens at the expense of those people who lie in the corridors of the hospitals."

"This is happening at the expense of those who have been waiting for medical exams for months," Kushner added, claiming. "This is happening at the expense of those who are waiting for the flu vaccine. Tell me they have been exacerbated? What will be the next step, send people to colonoscopy to make sure they eat kosher or arrest people on the streets to make sure they have circumcision? We have to stop it."

The reactions on the right and religious side of the Knesset to the video were furious. "The next video from Avigdor Lieberman's creator: Rabbis slaughter Gentile children and use their blood for matzah baking," commented MK Bezalel Smutrich (National Union). "I wish I could tell that these lies are due to ignorance. But they stem from hatred. Classical anti-Semitism in the Jewish state. shame".

"This is a disgrace, this video is a spit in the face of everyone whose Israeli tradition and Judaism is important to him and should be out of any political discourse." Shame that this is what Lieberman's mouthpiece looks like. "

The ultra-Orthodox MKs also expressed outrage over the video. "How did you forget the blood for making matzos," MK Yaakov Margi (Shas) mocked him. "Enough with your wild incitement is a responsibility if you have." Gaffney (Torah Judaism): "The things he said against Jewish law and the accompanying incitement remind us of dark regimes, which we passed and also go through types like Kushnir, who is trying to please his boss, who is trying to carry the election campaign to religion and state. You are only interesting Yvette Lieberman. "
