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.

--Rosanne Hertzberger, microbiologist and former Member of the House of Representatives in the Netherlands.

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 @SRDas It does make me wonder, between the settler colonialism, the Nakba, the ethnic cleansing, and the apartheid over the last almost 80 years, which Israel was she not ashamed of?
