The storm over the discrimination law is increasing:
since the interviews given last Sunday by Knesset members Simcha Rothman and Orit Strock from the religious Zionist party, the network is in turmoil and refuses to calm down.
As I remember, during the interviews, it was argued that doctors and hotel owners should be allowed not to provide services to members of the LGBT community if they do not feel they want to do so. Now, more and more public opinion leaders, actors, singers and TV presenters are joining in criticizing the MKs' controversial statements the chosen ones.

"Shocked, angry and terribly ashamed. Instead of dealing with the endless difficulties in Israel - housing, food security, employment, transportation, violence, instead of building and growing the future, initiating, innovating, bringing good news and spreading light to all of us from above the seat of the government, these two people are complete darkness Small people, who deal with issues at floor level. Contempt," Maayan Adam attacked.

"Really? Is what's happening there real? These people who express themselves like that, with a kippah and a head covering placed on them? This is really a shame that is being cast on Judaism and the religion," stated presenter and interior consultant Moshik Glamin.
"He who uses his Jewishness to justify discrimination and racism, let him be ashamed!", the singer Miri Mesika was angry.

"It's not real, is it?" actress Yael Elkana found it hard to believe.
"Let's pray that the festival of hatred that has been celebrated here for too long will stop, and not go on hiatus. I think we are exhausted, and we absolutely need help," actor Aviv Elosh wrote in a post he dedicated to the end of the Hanukkah holiday.
"Repeal of the discrimination law equals the end of democracy. The State of Israel is strengthening itself from the outside and crumbling from the inside. Sad!", "Big Brother" judge Kazem Khalilia ruled.
"It's lucky that I'm flying from here," mentioned the transgender model Rumi Abergil on the background of the news story.
"Good morning to all the people of Israel, good morning to everyone, and those who want to live in darkness, should look for another place. Here we love, breathe, live, smile and hug without any distinctions of color, sex and race! Mrs. Struck, do you know how darkness is banished? With light", Opira Essig's sting.

"It is hard to forget the principles on which the State of Israel was founded," warned the actor and creator of "Fauda", Lior Raz, under the quotes he brought from the Declaration of Independence.
"Don't forget what values the State of Israel is built on! The direction is from darkness to light, and not the other way around. Our indifference will cost us dearly if we don't wake up and work towards a sane social political system in a good and benevolent world," joined Raz, actor Yehuda Levy.
"Shame! Hasn't our hope been lost yet? I hope so," added singer Maya Buskila.
"What did I just read? I don't know whether to laugh or cry. It simply reminds me of difficult dark times that our people went through. I can't bear to get involved in politics, but whoever elected these people and is happy that there is going to be a change here - I really hope he didn't mean it!" And the survivor is Ira Dolphin.
"For God's sake, we must not reach a situation where a person in Israel will be discriminated against on the basis of his faith or sexual orientation. I am sure that the new government will also protect the freedom of all of us. Father, we trust you," personally addressed his father, "The Next Star" winner Eliav Zohar, son of Knesset member Miki Shine.
