Two days ago, National Union MK Michael Ben-Ari was photographed in his chambers tearing up a copy of the New Testament. Yeterday, MK Ahmad Tibi responded.

I’m quite tired of MK Tibi’s gimmicks and theatrics and what seems to be a constant need to get a headline. I agree with Speaker Reuven Rivlin who claims it just lowers the Knesset’s “esteem” (what esteem exactly, I don’t know… but still).

Yet, I can’t shake the feeling that if I had a picture of a man who for me epitomizes so much of the evil that has cursed this world through generations (and still, I condemn his murder. Any murder) – I’d be very tempted to do exactly what Tibi did.
