Avraimi Linsha, who was released from the IDF two weeks ago, decided to launch a campaign against hate speech in Israeli society


Avraimi Linsha, who was released from the IDF two weeks ago, decided to launch a campaign against hatred for Israeli society • "Incitement and hatred for the ultra-Orthodox sector did not begin during the Corona"

"During the service, I was walking in the middle of the country wearing a hat and a suit and people were shouting to me that I dodged and parasite. Then I put on a uniform to get back to base and somebody else shouted at me." He wanted to do this on the occasion of his liberation to fight against revelations of hatred in Israeli society, especially those facing Haredi society in light of the Corona crisis.

Linsha (24), a Bela Hasid from Ashdod, enlisted two and eight months ago in the Parachute Battalion 202, testifying in a conversation with Israel Today that the issue was complex for his family and his environment. "Every family that the son does not choose exactly in the way she educated him, takes it hard. Secular families also do not like their son to repent. It is a very emotional matter. But even though they did not receive my move, they were also not kicked."

In the last year of his military service, Avraimi was part of the IDF commander. End of service in the IDF coincided with the outbreak of the Corona epidemic and with it also the harsh expressions that emerged in the social networks towards the ultra-Orthodox public, some of whom claimed that he did not obey the Ministry of Health and even spread the disease. "Incitement and hatred for the ultra-Orthodox sector did not begin during the Corona period," he emphasizes. There was a lot before when it came to raising ultra-Orthodox, core studies and the thought that we were parasites and not workers. "

To combat this phenomenon, he is a member of Shlomi Gelber, an ultra-Orthodox soldier who serves as an operational documentary in the Ezra Yehuda Battalion and Kalia Littman Cohen serving in the Latrun recruiting unit, and together they set up the "Moda I" project, which he said, "to spread the light and positive things in Israel." . Although he does not ignore the part of the ultra-Orthodox public in the discourse he wishes to change, he notes that "phenomena of physical and verbal violence on the part of this public are marginalized, while the harsh expressions against the ultra-Orthodox public are more prevalent in the general society."

In addition, he is aware of the fact that the conduct and way of life of the ultra-Orthodox society also contributes to the great tension and that says, "It's okay to have criticism. Criticism is a healthy thing. But there is a big gap between disagreeing with me and my lifestyle and hating and turning against me. Quite a few secular friends and even if we argue and disagree we love and respect each other. I think that is the key word that should be in Israeli discourse.
