Israeli PM Netanyahu faces Zionist Racism from Son dating Norwegian
(Informed Comment) – Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is caught in a firestorm of controversy because his son Yair, 23, is dating a Norwegian woman whom he met while she was studying at university in Israel.
But the story is not about the young man; rather it is about the reaction to this news in Israel. The reaction is racist.
So here are quotes from the AFP article:
Nissim Zeev (Shas, an ultra-Orthodox party): [Netanyahu as prime minister must] “display national responsibility” … “It’s a big problem . . . I bet it pains him.”
MP Moshe Feiglin (Likud, the far right ruling party): “is very unfortunate”.
The extremist Israeli organisation Lehava (which says it aims “to prevent assimilation in the Holy Land”) called on Netanyahu “to prevent this relationship”.
Bentzi Gopshtain (Lehavi, a far right organization opposed to Jews marrying out): “Your grandchildren, as you know, will not be Jewish.”
(According to the Talmud, Jewishness is passed on through the mother).
