The decrees on the world of Torah: Shas Chairman Aryeh Deri launched a frontal attack this evening (Sunday) against Attorney Gali Baharav of Yara, after she announced that she was going to revoke tax benefits from Torah institutions where conscripts who have not settled their status with the IDF study, and to create an extensive oversight mechanism for yeshivas and kollels.
In the case of Bahar Meyara, the Tax Authority was given only one week to begin preventing the Section 46 tax benefit.
Dadrei warned: "The ousted and anarchist attorney general, who is rushing with arrests and harsh sanctions against Torah scholars, is leading the Haredi public to the edge, and will lead it to a tax revolt, a disconnection from the police, and a deep rift with the state authorities.".
Deri emphasized: "Everyone who cares about the future of the country must rise up against this madness.".
The Shas chairman also attacked the leaders of the right-wing bloc for their silence in the face of Baharav-Miara's campaign of persecution and the High Court of Justice: "I cry out and warn the Prime Minister and the leaders of the right-wing parties - Likud, Religious Zionism and Otzma Yehudit: If you truly desire the continuation of the right-wing bloc, you must stand up strongly against this criminal persecution. Your voice is not being heard!
""It is impossible for us to be the punching bag of this government, who will harm everything sacred and precious to the Jewish people, and you will stand by and remain silent. Silence is scum!""
The one who stung Deri was the chairman of 'Degel': When media figure Yinon Magal, host of the 'Patriots' program on Channel 14, read the Shas chairman's statement, which was released to the media during Gafni's interview on the program - he responded: "He was sure I would say it here...""
