Moshe Feiglin has crossed the line with his big mouth
Moshe Feiglin, who led non-violent protests a little over a decade ago against the Oslo agreement, may have been unfairly smeared by the Israeli left, but since then, he has really degenerated into disgust. And with the following verbal atrocity he committed just recently, I cannot and will not support him:
The rivalry between Netanyahu and Feiglin got even uglier on Tuesday morning when Feiglin called Netanyahu an anti-Semite who had an "auto anti-Semite gene" and who preferred to belong to the Ashkenazi elite rather than represent the common people.Okay, that does it. If Feiglin had called Netanyahu an incompetant buffoon or an elitist, I could overlook that. But to make such an obscene statement about the Likud chairman, that is crossing the line and does not make him a suitable candidate for Knesset any more than say, Ahmed Tibi, a member of an Arab party who went around calling Jews "nazis" among other vile, nasty things. What the hell is Feiglin thinking? He does not deserve any support, and should be ashamed of himself for being a leech on the party.
In response, Likud MK Michael Eitan said, "This statement, which comes after other extreme and racist statements in the past, is Feiglin's declaration of war on the Likud."Quite right. Feiglin is deserving of a stern rebuttal, and should publicly apologize for the rock-bottom example he's given.
"These sorts of things shouldn't be said of rivals, let alone of the chairman of the party under which Feiglin hopes to be elected to the Knesset. He who votes for Feiglin votes against the Likud," Eitan said.
Eitan called on Likud MKs to join in him condemning Feiglin's statements.
The Likud also issued a statement in response to the remarks:
"Feiglin's words constitute a decisive proof of why he shouldn't be on the party's Knesset list. Such statements should be firmly condemned by all factions and surely reveal why he shouldn't be supported," the statement reads.
