Barcelona's chief
rabbi urges Jews to move to Israel because 'Europe is lost'
Meir Bar-Hen calls
Spain a 'hub of Islamist terror'
Truly, a cheap and rather ugly statement.
Reminds me of Netanyahu rushing to France - and against the
French government's expressed wishes - after the "Charlie Hebdo"
events and travelling around to tell Jewish citizens of France that they should
leave for Israel.
In many places, what Netanyahu did, repeated here by the
rabbi, would be illegal. It is certainly so in Israel.
You know that it is against the law in Israel even to preach
to Israelis in order to change their faith?
Can you think of a place with more turmoil, injustice, ugly
behavior, and threats for the future than Israel?
Its long-term future is even doubtful for many, many
reasons, having nothing to do with terror. Its Jewish population does not
replace itself, and there are no more large sources of migrants, as we saw from
Russia years ago, many of whom, by the way, have not found Israel a congenial
place.
