During the 'Patriots' program on Channel 14, Dr. Avishai Ben Haim delivered a sharp message to the Haredi public. He used a parable from the Torah commandment of 'forgetting', which he described as 'one of the sweetest and most beloved to me'. Ben Haim explained that the commandment allows one to forget fruits or crops in the field for the benefit of the weak, the stranger, the orphan, and the widow. From there, he moved to the political context and said that his public quickly forgets what was done to them. At the climax of his remarks, he directly addressed the Haredim: 'What you are doing to us these days, we will forget you'. He emphasized that the forgetting would be for the sake of preserving the political bloc, but ended with a warning: 'But you will not forget yourselves'. The report relays his words without comment or additional context.
