Dear Editor,
Bezalel Smotrich is a right-wing extremist and Israeli
finance minister who deserves to be nominated for
Israel’s outrageous Man of the Year for his bizarre and
obnoxious behavior.
The US government has granted a visa to him over
the objection of Jewish-American leaders who said
he should be barred from the country for his call to
“wipe out” the Palestinian town of Huwara.
It is rather bizarre that this man even described himself
as a “fascist homophobe.”
More than 100 Jewish American leaders signed a
statement opposing his US visit and comparing him
to the American-born Israeli rabbi and convicted terrorist
Meir Kahane, who founded the racist political party Kach.
During his recent speech in Paris, he displayed a map
showing Jordan as part of “Greater Israel” during which he
also stated that “the Palestinian people are an invention
that is less than 100 years old.”
