Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the statements of Rabbi Lando, leader of Degel HaTorah, who yesterday attacked religious Zionism and said, among other things, that ‘there are wicked people and some of them are also from the knitted kippas. They go to the army and kill people, is that permitted? Actual murder.’ Netanyahu stated: ‘I strongly reject the shocking statements against IDF soldiers from religious Zionism. IDF soldiers, religious, secular and ultra-Orthodox, leave their homes, their jobs and their families, and risk their lives to defend the State of Israel, its citizens and the entire people of Israel.’
