Bereaved families and the Am Hofshi association yesterday protested the decision to send Deputy Housing Minister Meir Porush, of the haredi United Torah Judaism Party, to represent the government on Remembrance Day for the Fallen of Israel's Wars at the Holon military cemetery.
The bereaved parents and Am Hofshi said Porush represents an anti-Zionist party, most of whose voters evade military service.
Porush retorted that the demand that he, who served in the army, not take place in memorial ceremonies for fallen soldiers is "an impertinence" and "incitement" and accused Am Hofshi of "turning Remembrance Day into a national incitement day."
