Minister Wasserlauf's neighbor: "Dark and homophobic, he has no place in the neighborhood"

" Yitzhak Wasserlauf, Ben Gabir's number two, is moving to the neighborhood – and it really isn't working out for us. While the Jewish Weakness Party is building a messianic, dark, kahanist, anti-LGBTQ and outright racist dictatorship here, we will not allow him to indulge in a liberal neighborhood in northern Tel Aviv . There will be no tolerance for dictatorship here." So wrote Moshe Peretz of the Black Flags protest, when he invited the public to demonstrate against the moving of the apartment of the Minister of the Negev, the Galilee and the National Security Yitzhak Waserlauf near his residence.

In his conversation with Yanon Magal and Haim Levinson, he explained the decision to go on a demonstration against the move. "Wesselrauf is moving to the neighborhood, and we live in a liberal and pluralistic neighborhood," he claimed. "We live with kippah wearers, LGBT people, there is a religious state school here, and the minister, together with the government, promotes racist, homophobic laws that exclude women. He can't expect to enjoy the neighborhood and we won't protest against him. Our civic duty is to demonstrate in front of him morning and evening, we will remind him morning and evening that he is not welcome here. The minister is a member of the government, he is an active partner every day in passing laws, and an admirer of Rabbi Kahana. He established the Torah core within Tel Aviv whose goal is to Jewish. The neighborhood is not mine, he has a right to live here and our civic duty is to protest against him. Everyone is allowed to live where they choose."

"I have no interest in a person's origin, not whether he is LGBT or ultra-Orthodox, we live with ultra-Orthodox people," he clarified. "I didn't say he shouldn't live here. The laws he promotes together with the government, the homophobic laws, from these women's apartments. I said dark racist and homophobe. Whoever breaks the law, the law will take care of him. The community here is very active, there are thousands of people. I have been in the neighborhood for 15 years. There is a community here that goes out of its way to try not to let that happen. Anyone who promotes such values has no place in this neighborhood. I'm a total liberal. We will have a legitimate and legal protest. I invite you to come with us to the demonstration."

In response, Magal replied: "You've gone off the rails. You don't let a person live in the neighborhood. You're entering a war that you don't know what will happen next. It's a double-edged sword." "You die for Tel Aviv, you suffer so much from the secularists and the liberals, go," Levinson commented on his words.

"I feel like the Sudanese in Gordon's Pool"

In response to the words, Minister Wasserlauf replied: I come to a liberal, open neighborhood that knows how to accommodate us all. I feel like the Sudanese in Gordon's Pool. They are champions in the cause of hypocrisy. Yesterday one of the tenants knocked on the door of the broker's apartment, saying they were going to file a lawsuit against her for bringing the minister to the building. Didn't they go off the rails a bit? I hope they will come to their senses."

Later, he added: "I'm not a racist, I respect every person, I'm not a cleric. I said I'm everyone's minister, I also help Arabs, Bedouins and Druze. I can't be accused of racism or fascism. I serve all of us. Those who deliberately seek to bring Labeling me because he's bored at home, I totally support him. Protest, but whoever breaks the law will have to pay the price. Whoever harms my children and my family will have to pay the price. Maybe I'll bring them refreshments, with joy and love."
