All the heads of the political parties participated in the conference of the Association of Manufacturers in Israel held last week.
The joint gathering also gave rise to a conversation in the corridor between Degel HaTorah chairman Moshe Gafni and Meretz Zehava Galon chairman.
Photos of the short and polite Small Talk reached the social networks, and created an explosion and fury in the ultra-Orthodox street.
Gafni was accused of pandering to the left, signaling future cooperation with a coalition that is not right-wing.
Some went so far as to claim that Gafni was intentionally trying to sabotage the seventh mandate belonging to MK Eichler, from the Hasidic Israel Association. In another photograph, where Gafni is seen listening to Gantz's lecture at the event, it was claimed that it was important for him to honor Gantz in particular and that is why he returned to the hall to listen to him specifically .
Sometimes reality is simpler than the hidden intentions conspiracies that try to attribute to it.
Those who stayed at the place testified that Gafni spoke after Gantz, and therefore waited patiently for his turn.
Also regarding the conversations between Gafni, Galon and Gantz, which caused many of the Torah Judaism voters and the right-wing bloc to express their anger towards him, it turns out that the mountain did not even give birth to a mouse.
Journalist Ari Kalman from "Bahadari Haredim" published the transcript of the "dramatic" conversation.
Gafni to Gantz: "Today they start saying 'the wind returns', let's have a healthy winter!"
Gantz: "We need to protect the country so that there will be no division."
Galon to Gaffni: "How long will you go with them?"
Gafni replied: "We only go with Netanyahu, you are against a Jewish state."
Beyond the fact that Gafni does not decide which government he will sit in, but the rabbis who sent him to the Knesset, traditionally Torah Judaism has always gone with the right-wing, religious bloc, the one that is closer to Judaism.
Gafni is doing the right thing strategically when he maintains a basic relationship of respect with broad sections of Israeli politics.
He has excellent relations with Ahmed Tibi, with Merav Michaeli and with many Knesset members who are far from his worldview.
A reconciliation was also recorded with Yair Lapid.
In the end, Gafni must bring achievements to the public that sent him.
Litzman's total confiscation of Lapid, and his unequivocal refusal to even glance at him, brought no achievements to the ultra-orthodox public.
Everyone knows the rules of the game - on the stage of the synagogue they fight, and in the cafeteria they hug.
There is no need to attribute malicious intentions precisely to Gafni's casual greeting to his members of the Knesset, with whom he will have to cooperate.
In the end, the actions speak for themselves.
In the last four election campaigns, Gafni received tempting offers to join the left-wing bloc, but Torah Judaism demonstrated practical loyalty to the right-wing bloc.
Not every handshake or nod of the head in peace is a declaration of war.
Has the right forgotten what it is to be polite?
MK Aryeh Deri previously told "Israel Hayom" that he is ready to punish Lieberman for his shocking and inciting statements towards the ultra-Orthodox public, if he agrees to be part of the coalition and retract it. All in order to establish a stable government. The factions of the house. Derech Eretz preceded the Torah, and perhaps will also help to honor it.
