Yair Lapid sits to the right of convicted terrorist Natan Nathanson and across from Naftali Bennett
When Nathan Eshel, the former bureau chief of Netanyahu and admitted sexual harasser, was proffered by the Prime Minister as his coalition negotiator in January, Israeli Minister of Finance Yair Lapid announced that he would refuse to sit in any meetings with the scoundrel who had abused his secretary.
Lapid’s moral standards were on display again when he was spotted this month by Israeli blogger Tal Schneider seated at a table in heated negotiations over ultra-Orthodox national service obligations with Natan Nathanson.
Nathanson happens to be a felon who was convicted of membership in a terrorist organization — the Jewish Underground — in June 1980 after participating in a string of bombing attacks against Palestinian mayors. The attacks left Nablus Mayor Bassam Shakaa without his legs. Karim Khalaf, then the mayor of Ramallah, lost a foot in the Jewish Underground bombings.
Lapid has not yet stated whether he was aware of Nathanson’s history.
And Mondoweiss on more than one occasion favorably
wrote about the convicted sex offender Ezra Nawi.

How do you guys reconcile all those double standards in your heads?
“Lapid has not yet stated whether he was aware of Nathanson’s history.”
Of course he was. The problem is that he didn’t care. He was a coward who maimed a couple of Arabs. To your average israeli in the government of that state (as the slap on the wrist the man received for his crimes), that’s a cause for celebration. They are a people without any sense of honor or decency.
While Israel has gotten a lot of milage about “fighting terrorism”, their most revered public figure is Menachem Begin, head of the terrorist Irgun way back in the 1940’s. Elie Wiesel was an Irgun member, but he’s a revered humanitarian.
The whole Zionist terrorism shtick is so tedious. If a Jew puts on an IDF uniform he has the right to commit any atrocity. I don’t think so.
