Deep shit and Israeli intolerance
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/israels-education-minister-sparks-outrage-advocating-for-gay-conversion-therapy/2019/07/14/fc2ffd24-a60c-11e9-b732-41a79c2551bf_story.html
OMG crazy freaking bigotry is getting so widespread in the world! Naturally, I blame Trumpsky for this-- and once again he had an insane weekend of intolerance! (I blogged about it yesterday...)
So I just read the above article today about Israel's new education minister, Rafi Peretz, a fucking RABBI, arguing publicly for "gay conversion therapy." This turns out to disgust even Prime Minister Netanyahu, who primly said [Peretz's] "...remarks about the gay community are not acceptable to me..."
So why is the bigot IN the Cabinet anyhow? Well, Netanyahu is in deep pooitical** trouble, and he had to strike a deal with the devil to get a temporary coalition until elections later this year.
Liberal Israelis (not ENTIRELY a non-sequitur) reportedly are outraged and demanding Peretz be fired. But Netanyahu evidently doesn't give a shit (heh!) about the center-left and will hang onto power, no matter how high the cost!

** yeah, it's a typo -- but it ssys so much about getting into deep shit in Israeli OR American "poolitics" -- just look at fucking Congressional Republicans. I'm gonna leave it here!
