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.
Observations, articles, opinions etc. in Dutch and English. The author, Bert de Bruin (Yonathan Dror Bar-On), is a Dutch-Jewish historian, who has specialized in modern Jewish history and in the history of the Middle East, and who in 1995 emigrated from the Netherlands to Israel. He wrote one book (2008), and edited another (2011), both in Dutch. For feedback please post a comment, or send this blog's author an email: (hisdutchname)atyahoodotcom

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)
