Netanyahu's son dating a shikse
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu failed to set an example for the Jewish people by not preventing his son from dating a non-Jewish Norwegian woman, Shas MK Nissim Ze'ev told The Jerusalem Post Sunday.In what world is Ze'ev living? I'm sure that many parents wish it were so simple to just 'prevent' your adult children from dating whomever they please. It's not. Obviously, it would have helped if Netanyahu had given his older son a stronger Jewish education and had shown more of an example. For that he can be criticized. But the example he didn't set was for his son and not for the Jewish people. That's absurd.
There are others who think the problem can just be blinked away.
World Zionist Organization vice chairman David Breakstone, who represents the worldwide Conservative movement, said he hopes that if the relationship becomes serious she would want to convert to Judaism.
"The laws should changed in order to enable Leikanger to convert to Judaism as she and the Netanyahu family would understand it," Breakstone said. "She should not be limited to a Judaism as understood and interpreted by a Chief Rabbinate with an antiquated interpretation of Judaism that is out of sync with the majority of Jews around the world."Yeah.... When the standard is violated, just lower the standards.... No, thanks....
And by the way, I doubt the 'Netanyahu family' is thrilled about this either. Sara's family - the Ben Artzi's - is religious, and the younger son, Avner, finished third in the National Bible Contest a few years ago.

Whatever you think about it why use such a derogatory headline
Joywol,
If you are looking for political correctness, you have most definitely come to the wrong place.
"If you are looking for political correctness, you have most definitely come to the wrong place..."
Heh.
any idea if she ever attended one of those anti-Israel , Hitler Youth camps?
"Bragged"?
Joywol, let's put things into perspective:
If Sandra is a shiksa, Yair is dreck.
And to paraphrase a Simon & Garfunkel song:
I'd rather be a shiksa
Than some dreck
Yes I would
If I could
I surely would
BTW, this would be the same Netanyahu who insists that the Fakestinians recognize Israel as a Jewish state. Am I the only one to spot the irony in that?!
