Wonderful

This is one of those things that even the most devotedly Zionist of us have trouble with:

One of my main points in that article was the extent to which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was dependent on a coalition that gave important portfolios to political parties with insane ideologies. I instanced Israel Beitenu, the ultra-chauvinist group led by Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, and the religiously orthodox Shas Party, under the spiritual leadership of deranged Rabbi Ovadia Yosef. "Fringe" though they might be, members of such groups hold key ministries, including the ones that dominate the "settlement" process. Since I last wrote about him, Rabbi Yosef has again been to the fore, blaming the calamitous forest fires in northern Israel on the failure of Jews to observe the Sabbath in the proper way. And the country's interior minister, a Shas member named Eli Yishai, has rejected offers of firefighting equipment from Christian organizations, lest they use the opportunity to seduce Jews away to the worship of the Nazarene.

I repeat: Nietzsche, please come back...

UPDATE:  Just read further in, until I came to the bits about Kissinger.  I thought I'd heard it all...
