Energy Minister Israel Katz fired his political adviser Monday after media reports exposed extremist remarks[…]
Despite being fired, the adviser, Oved Hugi, attended a Knesset committee discussion on Monday

The Kan public broadcaster reported Sunday evening on Hugi’s remarks[…]
Hugi, a social activist and member of the ruling Likud party’s central committee who has for years represented Jewish residents of southern Tel Aviv in Knesset committees, blasted former top law enforcement officials on Saturday, after the judges in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s trial reportedly said the bribery charge against the premier would be hard to prove

“May your memory be blotted out, Shai Nitzan, Mandelbluff and Roni Alsheich,” Hugi wrote on Facebook, referring respectively to the former state attorney, former attorney general Avichai Mandelblit and the former police chief, who were in charge of the investigation and the indictment against Netanyahu. Hugi has previously claimed Mandelblit and Nitzan were descendants of Hitler[…]
Hugi tweeted: “Today I understand why Hitler, may his memory be blotted out, slaughtered six million Ashkenazim and all of Europe cooperated with him.” In another post, reacting to an uproar over anti-Haredi remarks by radio host Natan Zahavi, Hugi wrote: “From day to day I respect Hitler, may his name and memory be blotted out, thanks to Zahavi”[…]
Hugi criticized Hitler for “killing six million [people] instead of just killing [former Supreme Court chief justice] Aharon Barak”[…]
Hugi wondered “how it is possible that there are people in Israel with the family name Schwartz while the commander of the concentration and death camp Auschwitz had the family name Schwartz”

Growing parts of the Israeli right wing associate Ashkenazi Jews with left-wing political positions and Sephardi and other Jews with Middle Eastern roots with the political right, arguing that the Ashkenazi “hegemony” has been subjugating the Sephardi “Second Israel”
