The
right-wing deterioration of Israel has been producing an ever-viler brand of
politicians in that country. A recent addition to Netanyahu’s government, and
a member of the Israeli government’s defence cabinet is the despicable
and racist religious politician, Bezalel Smotrich. I had always
thought that his name was Smutrich (the Hebrew spelling for both smut and smot is the same) and found rich in smut quite

was strangled by the Turks in 1685, had his corpse thrown into the Smotrich.
There are things to said against Smotrich (or is it Smotrych?).
ReplyDeleteRidiculing him for his surname is not one of them. It is about as inappropriate as leveling abuse on Künast.
