The Chairman of the Jewish Home party, Minister of Science and Technology Prof. Daniel Hershkowitz, voiced his pleasure Monday with the vote. “The scar that the Disengagement left behind has not healed for many, but the sign of Cain in the form of criminal records must be erased, for those who did not endanger human life and did not engage in serious violence during the protest.”
"The opponents and supporters of the Disengagement need to unite and bridge the rift that the uprooting of communities created in the nation,” he added.
MK Michael Ben-Ari of the National Union was less enthusiastic about the law, which he said was “an illusion.” Ben-Ari said that “the Prosecution, headed by [Deputy Chief Prosecutor Shai Nitzan], succeeded in changing many items [in the law] and people charged with blocking a road will not be pardoned. It is apparent yet again that the Prosecution rules and dictates the tone in the Legislature.”
