Ivri Leader chose on Wednesday to refer on his Instagram account, which has 123,<> followers, to a clip uploaded online from the program "People" in which MK Yitzhak Pinders attacked the gay community and the gay pride parade, ruling that they constitute a real threat to the State of Israel.

"In my view, the most dangerous thing for the State of Israel, more than ISIS, Hezbollah and Hamas, is incest. Because that's what the Torah says. It's more dangerous than without the IDF. It's the most dangerous thing there is in the State of Israel. Because it is written in the Torah, 'The earth will vomit you out, they will expel you from here.' Therefore, in my parallel, we must not only prevent the gay pride parade, but prevent all this movement," Pindros said during the interview.
"MK Yitzhak Pindros, this time it's not just your ignorance, lack of knowledge, or fear," Leader replied. "This time it's harsh, fiery and destructive incitement. A member of Knesset in Israel, with an open face, on a major television channel, with complete confidence. Take a good look at him. This is what incitement looks like. This is what an elected official who divides and incites looks like. This is exactly what someone who translates his political power into toxic and explosive messages looks like, into an evil narrative that has no place."
"We believe in goodness, we know that only with it can we win, we know that only those who know true love can understand it as it is. And now look at us, loving and strong. Together," Leader turned to Pindros, choosing to include a picture of a crowd marching in a gay pride parade in Tel Aviv.
Leader wasn't the only one shocked by Pindros' controversial statements. "Someone please tell me I'm dreaming. A nightmare," Sigal Shachamon wrote. Nasli Barda, host of the gay program "People," also responded to the MK's comments on her Instagram account. "Yes, you heard that right. Someone who is supposed to be a public representative, but wishes to declare war on an entire public. So who is really dangerous to the State of Israel here?" she asked.
