“Puppy love is fine – so long as both puppies are Jewish” — that is the headline on the Israeli newspaper Haaretz covering the uproar in the Zionist state over the allegations that the son of prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is dating a non-Jewish Norwegian girl.
In a vitriolic display of Jewish Supremacist racism, the Israeli newspaper article recounted some of the headlines in other Jewish newspapers:
“Israel is freaking out.” “Yair Netanyahu spits on his grandfather’s grave.” “Bibi’s son is dating a Gentile!”
Haaretz goes on to say that:
It’s been quite the week for the Netanyahu family, judging by the flurry of hysterical headlines reacting to reports that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyu’s son is dating – gasp! – a “shiksa.”
Note that the word “shiksa” is Hebrew slang for a Gentile whore. Imagine what the reaction would be if a leading newspaper in any other nation referred to Jewish woman as “whores”…..
Haaretz then goes on to discuss the uproar in Israel over the “shiksa” news, revealing along the way that Jews are not allowed to marry non-Jews in Israel.
Once again, note the language of the quotations below. The reader must ask him or herself—what would these same Jewish Supremacists do if any newspaper anywhere else in the world talked about Jews in this fashion?
It seems everyone has opinions about Jr.’s purported fling. From the right, the last few days have seen a slew of self-appointed Tevyes shouting, “Tradition! Tradition!” Lehava, a right-wing anti-assimilation organization that aims to “save daughters of Israel who were seduced by goys,” was so outraged it sent two letters, one to Netanyahu Sr., one to Jr. himself.
“The implications of your son’s acts, even though he is supposedly a private person, are far-reaching, both for your family and for the State of Israel,” wrote the organization’s chairman, Benzi Gopstein. “This is the son of the prime minister of the Sate of Israel, homeland of the Jewish people. … Your late father, Prof. Benzion Netanyahu, is rolling in his grave because of what your son is doing.”
Gopstein was a bit more subtle in his letter to Jr., offering to meet with him and Leikanger “so that we can converse in person, and understand the significance of this matter together.”
“I am sure,” he wrote, “that your girlfriend, who is wise and intelligent, will understand you have to end the relationship as well.”
Others responded with what could only be called panic. “Woe to us, if, God forbid, this is true,” said Shas leader Aryeh Deri, who described the affair as “a big heartache.” Likud MK Moshe Feiglin, ever the stoic, summarized the entire matter as “very unfortunate.”
But the most virulent attack against Jr.’s puppy-love came from Jr.’s own uncle. Haggai Ben-Artzi, Sarah Netanyahu’s estranged brother, made his discontent public, asking Jr. (through reporters), “Have you lost your mind?!”
If Jr. and Sandra get married, Ben Artzi promised, “I’ll walk the streets and tear the hair off my head.” In the meantime, he threatened, he’ll physically ban Jr. from going anywhere near his grandfather’s grave.
There are those who mentioned, quite accurately, that even if Jr. and his Scandinavian beloved were to get serious, their love has an expiration date: Given that there are no civil marriages in Israel, and with the Chief Rabbinate being what it is, the two could never get married even if they wanted to.
Just because we let girls study in Israel, doesn’t mean they can just snatch up our boys, worried Jewish mothers all over the country will mutter. Puppy love is all well and good, they’ll say, but can’t both puppies be Jewish?
