    Israel National News (http://bit.ly/1hZ0BfY) reports Abutbul, accompanied by Yelena Koniansky, filed the police report today. Koniansky, party chairwoman of the Beit Shemesh branch of Yisrael Beitenu, filed her complaint after threats were allegedly made against her and her party for forming an alliance with Abutbul.

    Sources stated Abutbul gave the police piles of material from the internet, specifically from Facebook, containing hateful comments made against him stemming from the allegations of fraud that surfaced in after Beit Shemesh’s municipal elections.

    Some comments targeted the hareidi-religious population, who supported Abutbul during his campaign.

    “Words are capable of murder,” Abutbul said, and called on the public to act with self-control and mutual respect.

    What a charlatan. He wants to put his critics in jail, then he partners with an anti-religious party. For shame! A-but-bul-l****
