(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) Leftist protesters in Israel unveiled a nude statue of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with a label underneath it proclaiming “the king is naked.”
In response to the new statue, a legal organization, Yehudit, filed a complaint suggesting that the statue is some species of “sexual harassment,” Israel National News reported.
According to Yehudit CEO Moriah Litvak, the statue at Kibbutz Shefayim is illegal in the nation of Israel.
“The law states that an indecent act done for the purpose of causing humiliation is considered sexual harassment,” he argued.
“It is clear to everyone that this is a deliberate attack against the prime minister and the entire national camp, and it is not for nothing that such a dark and blatant statue was placed.”
Litvak also noted that, though he supports the right to protest, the means used by these protesters is unacceptable.
Leftist protestors pulled a similar stunt in 2021, leading up to the country’s national elections, when a “statue resembling Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, depicted squatting naked in a corner, was set up in Tel Aviv’s Habima Square,” it was reported at the time.
“Municipal authorities set up barriers around the installation and posted a removal note on the statue, while police arrived in an attempt to trace those behind it,” Times of Israel reported.
“Sexual harassment as part of a protest, no matter how just the protest, is wrong and deserves full condemnation,” Litvak continued. “I expect the Israel Police to remove the statue immediately, arrest those responsible and bring them to justice.”
According to anti-government protesters in the country, Netanyahu is destroying the country.
Opposition leader Yair Lapid spoke at a protest in the Krayot recently, claiming that the prime minister was “destroying us from within,” adding that “Netanyahu has no control over anything.”
According to Lapid, the leftist organization plans to fight the government tooth and nail.
“This is a dysfunctional government and it needs to go home. This is our plan. Not to believe in miracles that won’t happen. Not to go for a fake unity that will break our moral spine. Fight them until they go.”
Another protest leader, Shikma Bresler, told a Tel Aviv crowd that she and her comrades want to transform the nation to make it more feminist-oriented.
“We want a country in which the values of justice, freedom and equality flow, a Jewish and democratic state, where women sit where they want, sing when they want and wear what they want.”
