Unfortunately many Israelis are fooled by the one and only thing this hypocrite did for them, and that was to facilitate the lowering of cellular phone costs.
What did he do for the poor as a lapdog of Netanyahu, however?
He voted AGAINST a rise in the minimum wage.
He voted AGAINST strengthening of laws against domestic violence
He voted against public transport on Shabbat, which may please the orthodox community but affects the affordability of non orthodox poorer people to travel when they wish, to where they wish.
He voted against the zero VAT bill for young home buyers.
In 2011, he voted against a proposed social rights bill - this from a man who was then -- wait for this -- Minister of Welfare!!!
He now has the gumption, this altogether too-smiley hypocrite, to present himself on a "social justice" ticket.
Good luck to the fools that think that cheaper cellular phone calls is all it takes to get his backside back into a government seat.
