MK Chili Tropper criticizes Deri:
"This morning it was revealed (on Galei Tzahal) that three of MK Aryeh Deri’s grandsons — who participates in the small cabinet and sits in the room where the decision is made to send fighters to the battlefield, knowing that some may not return — are draft dodgers officially defined as deserters. For the sake of clarity, MK Deri responded that he is proud of his grandsons, the deserters.
How does a political leader feel when he supports sending other people’s sons and grandsons to the front line, while his own sons and grandsons refuse to join the fighting and remain safe at home?!
How does he face himself and his God when he chooses to be part of a forum that decides to endanger the lives of others, while his own family members evade service and avoid the danger?!"
