Guy Lehrer criticizes Likud voters: "Magical love for the commander"

Guy Lehrer, host of the television program "HaTzinor" on Channel 13, addressed a post published by the PUSH website on social media dedicated to the Likud primaries. The post questioned which party members are worthy of being placed on the next Likud list for the Knesset. Among the figures presented were Keti Shitrit, Boaz Bismuth, Gila Gamliel, Moshe Saada, Hanoch Milwidsky, and others.

In a tweet on his X account, Lehrer expressed his position regarding the reactions to the post and criticized Likud voters: "The PUSH site is considered right-leaning, as are its commenters. It has become a battleground for influence among right-wing politicians. But the reactions to this routine post are insane. 99 percent out of more than a thousand: resentment, contempt, and mockery to the point of nausea towards the Likud list for the Knesset. Go in and see for yourself. Levels of rejection and popular loathing that I have never seen in my life. Maybe because I didn't live in '77."

Guy Lehrer further wrote: "A pile of figures chosen according to the length of their tongue. A list that even the object of their sycophancy despises. And yet, according to every poll, it remains the largest list. Whoever votes for it probably knows they are voting out of a magical love for the commander, who likely knows himself that he built the worst army in the world. By the way, the power of this post is the physical nausea that washes over you from seeing all these faces together."
