I suggested last week that Jews might make comments as odious as Egyptian President Morsi’s, which I posted. I didn’t have to wait long for a sample. Here is Jeremy Gimpel, a right-wing candidate for the Israeli parliament, suggesting how overjoyed Jews would be if someone blew up the Dome of the Rock, the mosque that stands in Jerusalem on one of Islam’s holiest sites. Worse: he suggests that the Jews would then rebuild the Temple that stood there 2000 years ago and, to add insult to injury, that Jews would want to build Christian churches as well.
No, it’s not the same as calling Jews sons of pigs, but it is hate speech nevertheless, and delivered with a good deal more conviction than Morsi’s, who has been backpedaling. Will Gimpel do likewise?
