The rabid Israeli right has its knickers in a twist over the appointment of an Arab to a cabinet post in the coalition government for the first time. In a statement whose naked and unapologetic racism is staggering, Esterina Tartman, chairwoman of Israel Our Home, told Israel radio:
"I call on the prime minister not to approve this appointment ... in order to protect the state of Israel's interest as a Jewish and Zionist state."
Perhaps Jimmy Carter is right. I await with trepidation the foaming torrent of outrage and abuse from the Zionosphere.
