MK Shirley Pinto on the right this morning (Monday) refused to apologize for calling her faction member Amichai Shikli a "virus" in an interview with News 12, but claimed that she did not mean the virus as a "bacterium" but "like a virus that attacks a computer."
"Shikli acts like a bug in the political system, he attacks the system from within. And not just the system - he also attacks the right-wing party from which he comes," Pinto said. "He does not do any parliamentary work - he is like a virus that attacks the computer. I did not say virus as a bacterium, here I explain, I meant a virus as it attacks the computer. I explained that it attacks the system from within. The explanation I give now is because people take things out of proportion." .
"I see no reason to regret it, I think Shikli is behaving improperly," the MK added. "I do not understand the storm.I understand that this is not a simple word that describes a situation in which a Knesset member is only being interviewed against the government - this is something that will not be done. "

Pinto also referred to the storm that arose around an interview in which coalition chairman Idit Silman claimed that she was attacked at a gas station, but has since refused to provide details about the attack and did not complain about it to the deputy Knesset officer even when she met with him yesterday. I would not be surprised if this mercy came to something that is physical.
"" Such things cross the line, and I believe there is no reason why she should not tell the truth, "Pinto added. Threats on a daily basis, me too.
I received messages in which they wrote to me that I was a dumb cripple, that it was a pity that I was here, that I needed to be burned, and that the line was still long. "

Pinto's statement yesterday was not the first to provoke a storm.
Just a month ago, she wrote on her Twitter account that "this year, too, Netanyahu used Rabin's assassination to explain that he was in fact the one being attacked. Sometimes it seems that he never left that balcony. An instigator was and an instigator will remain."
Shortly afterwards, against the backdrop of the storm provoked by the tweet, she mimicked it.
Now, she explains that because she grew up as a deaf to a deaf father, she was not exposed to the meaning of the phrase “the balcony” in the context of Rabin’s assassination and the narrative behind it.
"There are cultural gaps here - this expression did not reach the deaf community," she claimed.
"I knew that the right was being blamed for Rabin's assassination and I was completely opposed to that, but I did not know that the word 'balcony' is controversial. I was young at the time, today I am 33 - I understood the mistake, it is not a shame, learning from mistakes."
