I am ashamed of this Israel.

When, during our weekly prayers in the synagogue, we also pray for wisdom for Israel’s leaders, all I can think is: yes, wisdom. And a very long prison sentence.

P.S. Hertzberger wrote this in the NRC newspaper, and there are many, many Jewish people in the Netherlands who share her view on Israel.

@bitchboss Why does she still go there then. I left that exact same synagogue because of the zionism there. And that prayer is not a prayer for wisdom, it's a special blessing on the state of Israel (land of our blossoming salvation), its ministers, and its military.
