Obviously the Knesset had to permanently bar De Hartog. You just can't take swings at MKs - it's just not done. But heaven help us that slap was richly deserved:

The pro-Israel right is way too free with that particular insult. It's just as dumb - and just as offensive - as when leftists accuse Israelis of being Nazis because of their treatment of the Palestinians (lot of gas chambers in the West Bank lately, eh?)

Except in this case, it's religious Jews urging other Jews to hate the Jews who are the target of their displeasure. Our understanding of Jewish ethics is a little rusty, but isn't there some kind of rule against that?
