A friend says: Naftali Bennett is probably pissing his pants out of fear that NY and DC Jewish orgs are going to cancel the US’s special relationship with Israel over the latter’s anti-gay positions if his party is brought into a coaliton. I’m sure Adelson is on the phone right now with the mainstream Israeli parties, insisting that they as well as Bennett will have to move more liberal on “social issues,” like he demands of the Republican party. #consistency #organizedJewry
REPORT: Bezalel Smotrich, eighth on the Bayit Yehudi’s list, came under fire for calling LGBT people “abnormal” while on a panel at a school in Givatayim on Sunday.
“Every person can decide he doesn’t want to live a normal life; that’s his right,” Smotrich said in a recording from the event played on Army Radio. “He does not have a right, just because he doesn’t feel comfortable being abnormal, to demand from all of us to destroy the concept of normalcy and say ‘there’s no such thing as normal anymore.
“Every person can be abnormal in his house and form whatever family unit he wants. He can’t make demands from me, as the state.”
Gay people, Smotrich said, “feel uncomfortable being unusual. It’s not fun, so they come out of the closet and then run and say they’re proud of it.”
