MKs and public figures sharply attack the "Jews are coming" program (here 11), and even demand that an investigation be opened against it for harming religious feelings. The satirical program has long provoked outrage, as they have mocked Torah and Judaism issues, but in recent weeks Sketches in which they explicitly mocked God, which intensified the fierce protest against them.

MK Moshe Arbel (Shas) wrote a letter to the Attorney General over the weekend demanding that an investigation be opened against "Jews are coming." He said in the letter that I was shocked to hear that the program includes shameful sketches that seek to mock religious law, Israeli tradition, An important thing in their lives. "Among other things, he mentioned systems in which" the actors expressed the name of the explicit name and wanted to mock it in various ways. "

In an appeal to the ombudsman, MK Arbel demanded that he exercise his authority to "open an investigation or at least a preliminary investigation in the first stage, for the harsh publications that hurt the feelings of millions in Israel, Jews and non-Jews, religious and secular. "Funded by the Israeli public, it will stop from now on."

Lawyer Arik Kimhi, on behalf of B'Tselem, also appealed to the ombudsman to open an investigation into "gross damage to religious sentiments." Demanded to open a criminal investigation due to religious insult and gross injury to religious feelings. "There is no doubt that the above case meets the definitions of the law and is healthy because this is the case to which the legislature is directed."

The protest developed due to a particularly scathing video published last week by Rabbi Zamir Cohen of the Hidbraut organization, in which he said that he tore a tear following watching a sketch in which he said he was disgraced. "Telling the truth. When I saw it I took scissors and did a rip on the garment properly," he recounted. He linked his protest to a video of Roy Boy and the Bedouin children that caused a stir last week: "Isn't hurting the feelings of all of us worth a penny?", He wondered, defining the videos as a disgrace.

"They (the Jews come) present Moshe Rabbeinu as defiant to heaven and beat a woman cruelly with his own hands. They present Mordechai the Tzaddik as one who tempts Esther to abandon herself. And the public in Israel continues to watch them indifferently and give their backs to those who hit and beat them and despise and humiliate their feelings.

"I do not enter into the matters of law that will be given in heaven after 120, which will stand before the King of the world and will have to give an account, for all their deeds throughout life. But at least, even though we are not Bedouin, they will consider the feelings of us all,"
