ABC NEWS: Conservative Israeli groups and politicians are taking Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to task over his son’s alleged romance with a Norwegian who is not Jewish.
Netanyahu’s son Yair, 23, is reportedly dating Sandra Leikanger, 25, a student at the Interdisciplinary Center outside Tel Aviv.
“It’s a big problem,” member of parliament Nissim Ze’ev from the ultra-Orthodox Shas Party told the Jerusalem Post. “As the prime minister of Israel and the Jewish people, he must display national responsibility via the values he presents inside his own household.”
“Any Jew who wants to maintain his roots wants to see his son marry a Jewish girl,” Ze’ev continued. “There is no shortage of beautiful, successful girls without sowing in the fields of others.” » | Alexander Marquardt | Monday, January 27, 2014
