Ohana as Knesset Speaker is a desecration of God's name? Pindrus, the right will vomit you out | Moshe Cohen-Eliya

Moshe Cohen-Eliya attacks MK Yitzhak Pindrus for calling Amir Ohana's election as Knesset Speaker a 'desecration of God's name', and asserts that the liberal right will vomit out of itself homophobic factions.

Moshe Cohen-Eliya writes an opinion piece in Maariv in response to remarks by MK Yitzhak Pindrus, who called Amir Ohana's election as Knesset Speaker a 'desecration of God's name'. The writer argues that Pindrus does not represent the Israeli right, but rather an extreme, dark and homophobic faction. He defines the right as a national camp that believes in individual freedom, and notes that there is no contradiction between these values and the acceptance of LGBT people. The article calls to distance Pindrus and those like him from the next coalition, even at the price of connecting with the center. The writer concludes with a paraphrase of the verse 'and the land will not vomit you out', and asserts that the liberal right is the one that will vomit out of itself the homophobic factions.
