Two very good comments on Naftali Bennett and his cronies' behavior in Israel's parliament earlier this week: one by Avraham Burg, the other by Ariana Melamed.

It takes a liar...

This would be amusing if it wasn't so sad. By the way, Naftali B. doesn't seem to have any problem with lies told in Hebrew. Otherwise he would be walking out of the Knesset on a daily basis, and not be a part of this government, the tone of which he and his ultra-nationalist friends have been setting for more than a year already.

(PS: With the title I am not suggesting that Mr. Schulz was lying when he said what he said, I just thought it was a suitable idiom. On the contrary, I have much more sympathy for the EP president and his opinions than for the Das Juedische Haus Partei. Talking about fascist party names)
