MKs Slam Rabbi Wolpe
(IsraelNN.com) Members of Knesset and ministers slammed Rabbi Shalom Dov Wolpe on Thursday following Wolpe's harsh criticism of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert during an "SOS Israel" session on Tuesday. During the session Rabbi Wolpe called Olmert a traitor, and accused Olmert his helpers of aiding the "Nazi" terrorists by giving them weapons and releasing terrorist killers from prison. According to Israeli law, he said, Olmert, Vice Premier Chaim Ramon, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, and others should be hung for granting assistance to Nazis.
MK Chaim Oron (Meretz) called on the government to ban Chabad activities on IDF bases, while minister Yaakov Edery (Kadima) called for an urgent government session to discuss Rabbi Wolpe's speech "before a calamity occurs." Opposition leader MK Binyamin Netanyahu harshly criticized Rabbi Wolpe as well, saying there is no place for violence in a democracy.
