Former Minister of Interior and Shas chairman, MK Eli
Yishai, said Tuesday that elected officials and human rights groups must
apologize for blaming him for the 2009 murders at the Barnoar gay club in Tel
Aviv.
"As some may remember,” Yishai said, “some four years
ago, immediately after the murders at the Barnoar became known and before an
investigation had even begun, people began to hold up signs against me and
against the hareidi and religious sectors, as being somehow to blame for the
murders.”
Yishai called for “soul searching” to be carried out
following the “unbearable ease” in which “an entire sector is besmirched, despite
its innocence.”
"The public officials and organizations that wanted to
make political hay through cynical manipulation of the murder of youths, must
retract what they said and apologize to the very same sector they tried to put
a stain upon,” he said.
Leftists are in no hurry to apologize for blaming the
religious sector over the murders, which they proclaimed were “a hate crime”
against homosexuals.
