(haipo) - At the non-quorum council meeting held last week, the subject of the activities of the sailing club on the Pacific Coast was brought up by council member Sharit Golan Steinberg. As I recall, in recent months there have been struggles between the mayor Dr. Einat Kalish Rotem and her deputy Nachshon Tzuk and the sailing association, over In order for the latter to be able to continue its activities that include, among other things, activities for children some of whom are on the autistic continuum. According to the association, although they are working with the municipality's legal counsel and trying to come up with every required document, no progress has been made in the negotiations.
In the request for a non-quorum meeting, it is written that the municipality refrains from issuing the sailing association a business license and does not work to renew the maritime school's agreements. According to the members of the council, the mayor is allegedly trying to thwart uses that have been taking place on the Pacific coast for many years. The council requests to immediately approve the budgets, allow the sailing association to operate without interruption and immediately take care of their business license.
A petition against Kalish Rotem and the municipality
The children's parents submitted an administrative petition to the district court against the mayor Dr. Einat Kalish Rotem, her deputy Nachshon Tzuk, the municipal treasurer Shmuel Mermelstein and the municipality itself, in which they claim that during the last months they and their children have been abused and that they personally blame whoever they believe is responsible for this to prevent their children from continuing to enjoy sailing activities on the Pacific Coast. Through lawyer Assaf Oren, the children's parents demand that the court issue an order instructing the municipality to extend the contract, so that their children, who are on the autistic spectrum, can continue to enjoy sailing activities on the Pacific Coast. In addition, the parents demand that the municipality You will be obliged to provide sailing vessels that will enable the sailing activity.
"Journey of Torment"
The petition goes on to describe the journey of agony that the parents go through, according to them, together with the association during the past months, when all they want is for the children to be able to continue enjoying the activity, which contributes immeasurably to the children's condition and well-being.
"The abuse of helpless children on the autistic continuum"
"This petition is about the unimaginable abuse and cruelty of the respondents towards helpless children, with special needs on the autistic spectrum, who are all required to continue a multi-year activity that is essential to maintaining their proper functioning, development and health - and that is the use of sailing vessels and marine equipment owned by the Ministry of Education that are specially coordinated for them for the need of sailing activity on the Pacific coast in the city of Haifa".
Attorney Oren told Lahi Fe that the refusal on the part of the Haifa Municipality to extend the agreement with the Ministry of Education, in favor of activities for children with special needs on the autistic spectrum, is very puzzling: "This is abuse of helpless children, who need this activity like air to breathe. This is clear from an expert's opinion attached to the petition of a special education teacher who accompanies the care of the children, which clarifies that the cessation of sailing activities harms and harms the children's health.
The municipality's refusal to park the sailing vessels for the benefit of the children is in contradiction to the decision of the Haifa Municipality Council of October 19.10.2022, XNUMX, in which it was determined, among other things, that the mayor of Haifa must immediately extend the contract with the Ministry of Education for the purpose of placing the sailing vessels for the children."
"My heart breaks in front of the opacity of Klish's heart"
Councilwoman Sharit Golan Steinberg said that the mayor continues to abuse children on the autistic spectrum. In the proposal I made yesterday in the city council, we required the mayor to stop the campaign of abuse of children and their parents, and to find an immediate solution for the dozens of children who have no ability to continue operating in the Pacific Coast. The mayor's response to the proposal was "stupid populism".
Golan Steinberg adds: "The absurdity is that the mayor excuses her refusal to sign the agreement with the 'lack of a budget.' Just so that Tsuk is satisfied. Klish and Tsuk demonstrate opacity while spreading lies and misleading the public."
"I announced at the meeting that next Sunday we will also discuss the issue of manpower, including claims regarding safety. In addition, I announced that the safety requirements were determined by an employee who was prohibited from working on the Pacific Coast. We will try to bring order to the mess that Klish has created, and if there is no escape, a personal petition will be filed against Klish and Tzuk for abusing their authority with improper motives.
Tzuk planned to build an anchorage on the Pacific coast and we prevented him from doing so, to ensure the continuation of sailing activities on the coast. Those who pay the price for the revenge and political pride of Tzuk and Klish are the poor children. My heart breaks for them and especially my heart breaks in front of the opacity of Klish's heart."
"These are children who are sensitive to every little change"
Councilwoman Hila Lauper from the Greens, was not interested in commenting on the manner of Kalish Rotem's statement towards her, but rather that the mayor wants to move the children's activities to another place. "The mayor revealed at the yeshiva, by chance or not, that the children who are welcomed with open arms and a lot of love in the Pacific Coast, will be moved to another place. These children are sensitive to every little change, they love to come to the Pacific Coast, this is the place they connected with from all the other places, and come head A city whose every touch scorches the earth it touches, and seeks to pass them on as if they were still and emotionless sacks. To say that I am shocked and amazed? Absolutely not, I already know the way it conducts itself."
Laufer adds: "It is not possible for political wars to be waged on the backs of the children. I proposed a compromise at the yeshiva that is good for all parties, and I hope that I will be able to bridge it between the holder of the maritime portfolio and the Council of Change. Today, Nachshon Tzuk refuses to transfer budgets to the maritime issue, other than through the completely unnecessary Maritime Authority In my opinion, while the Change Council refuses to transfer budgets through the Maritime Authority, but only through the Finance Committee and they do approve budgets, which, as mentioned, are not used. It is impossible to continue to conduct itself in this way and both sides have to compromise. I believe that there is a place to transfer budgets to the Maritime Authority, but Under the proviso that the Sea Authority will be subordinate to the Sports Ministry only."
Klish Rotem to Lauper: "You will stop your stupid populism"
At a discussion in the city council, Kalish Rotem told Laufer that she was doing "stupid populism": "Hila, now calm down, now calm down, you will speak respectfully, you will not stop me and stop your stupid populism, the leader of populism in the city council. I am the mayor and I will talk to you Let me talk. If I don't want to, I'll stop talking, because I'm fed up," Klish told Laufer.
"Surprised by the level of speech of the mayor and her deputy"
The sailing association said in response to the words: "Haifa sailing is shocked and pained by the level of discussion by the mayor and her deputy in the discussion on such a sensitive issue and strongly condemns the use of the word 'stupid' by the mayor in a discussion about a group of children on the autistic spectrum. This is an appalling insensitivity, my parents The children demand an apology from the mayor for using the word "moron".
The municipality said in response:
"The Haifa Municipality sees great importance in the sailing activity and demands that it be carried out in an orderly and safe manner as is required of any activity carried out with children and even more so when it comes to maritime activity. In the meantime, the RA is working to convene Hani (Israel Ports Company) and all the other parties relevant in order to bring to an end the dispute concerning all sailing associations".
Indeed, kudos to the mayor for robbing the dignity of children with special needs. And what are children with special needs? Troubled that we have to be thrown into the sea and drowned as quickly as possible, lest they interfere with the work of excluding the captains of our city.. It's sad, and we just cry.
Well done to you Einat.
The Municipality of Haifa headed by Mrs. Dr. Einat Kalish. Indeed sees great importance in sailing activities. Have a good day.
The municipality of Haifa is indeed headed by Mrs. Dr. Einat Kalish,
Glad to have you on the team.
Our mayor is not attentive to any issue, nothing really interests her except destroying the city, what is she even doing?
What is happening in Haifa Municipality is simply a scandal
With such conduct, it would have been appropriate to annex Haifa to Jasser Ezerka.
Dear friends, she has a black belt, she doesn't account to anyone.
You will read articles on Radio Haifa about all kinds of positions that employees are trying to cope with.
shame
Go home already and take your black belt with you and also the official with the mustache who is causing problems for everyone.
You failed!!!
What style of speech and level of expression of a mayor in the municipal congress?!
The mayor is under extreme pressure. She feels that the rug has been pulled from under her feet and begins to realize that her term will not be extended for another term.
I really wonder who the real stupidity belongs to. What personal insults?! The urban failure since forever opened her mouth and cracked "Emirot Shafer"... Shame and disgrace to all the residents of the city.
Dear council member Hila Lauper, in the next plenary, please bring a shield and armor against the unbridled attacks of this special mayor.
It is even more interesting how it allows the city engineer to exceed the law time and time again with remarkable consistency and does not roll it out of all steps. Strange backing for building offenses by a woman convicted of crimes for building offences.
You are right, the city engineer should be removed from this city, everything that happens that the engineering manager is only because of him is the biggest failure for this city, he has no employees in the construction licensing department and therefore no permits.
Do yourself a favor and take him with you when you turn off the light and go home in a few months!!!!!
He is just as bad for this city as Cliché is bad for this city.
We have absorbed and absorbed all the failures, omissions, serious actions and the most delusional actions of this "greedy duo" Tzuklish...all the while they make decisions that have no logical explanation to understand apart from a vindictive activity that seems to be done from the stomach and not from the head....but when it comes to harming helpless children This is already way beyond the red line. I hope the court will not only act according to the dry law but will finally be able to do justice in this case that cries out to heaven!
