In an interview on the radio (the interview was focused mainly on the life insurance for avreichim issue), MK Moshe Gafni (UTJ) said that "Avigdor Lieberman is a parasite living on other people's account who has never passed any law to benefit the citizens of Israel. Lieberman was victorious in municipal elections in Jerusalem, Haifa and Tzfat only because of the Haredi community though he himself did not bring in even a single vote. All Lieberman knows to do is the blow up the the Asuan Bridge, assassinate Haniyeh within 48 hours, bring down Hamas, and everything is just talk. This is a parasite."
Gafni's opinion might or might not be accurate, but it is ill-spoken.
Every single time someone in the public eye calls the haredim "parasites", and it happens far too often (even once is too often), the Haredi leadership blows a gasket, and rightfully so. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. What you don't want done to you, don't do to others. These are classic pieces of wisdom offered by our sages. Gafni should not be calling other people parasites when he does not want others calling him and his community the same.
