Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu labeled Turkey a dark dictatorship, likened Israeli politicians to Adolf Hitler over the controversial ‘nation-state’ law.
Turkey is turning into“a dark dictatorship” which “is massacring Syrians and Kurds and has jailed tens of thousands” of its citizens, Netanyahu said on Tuesday, responding to Erdogan’s attacks. — Benjamin Netanyahu (@netanyahu) 24 июля 2018 г.
The Turkish president earlier slammed Tel Aviv, saying that “Hitler’s spirit re-emerges in some of Israel’s rulers,”local media reported. Erdogan accused Israel of being “the most fascist and racist country in the world.” Israel’s parliament adopted the controversial ‘nation-state law’ last week. The clause stating that “the right to exercise national determination in the State of Israel is unique to the Jewish people” led to public outcry in Israel and abroad.
For once both leaders were demonstrably telling the simple truth.
Ma’an – July 26, 2018 BETHLEHEM – The Jerusalem Report, a biweekly magazine published by The Jerusalem Post, dismissed a freelance cartoonist for an illustration depicting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Likud lawmakers as swine characters.
The Union of Journalists in Israel confirmed on Wednesday that Avi Katz, the criticized cartoonist, was dismissed after the cartoon ran in the magazine’s edition this past week. The cartoon portrayed Netanyahu taking a selfie following the approval of the controversial Nationality Law.
Katz’s cartoon was inspired by George Orwell’s “Animal Farm” and was captioned with a famous Orwell line “All animals are equal but some are more equal than others.” After Katz’s dismissal, the Israeli Animix festival launched a fundraising page in support of the cartoonist and had raised over $10,000.
