Israeli lawmaker tears up "abominable" New Testament, throws it in trash

A member of the Israeli parliament has torn up a copy of the New Testament and thrown it in the trash.
An edition of the Bible had been distributed to all members of the Knesset by Victor Kalish, the head of a Christian publishing society.
According to Israel’s NRG news website, Kalish sent the book along with a letter explaining that it was a new edition with thousands of references, “that sheds light on the [Old Testament] Scriptures and helps to understand them and also shows the close connection between the Scriptures and the New Testament and how many of their prophecies are fulfilled in the New Testament.”
...
Ben-Ari, however termed the book a “provocation,” tore it up and threw it in the trash, an act that was apparently caught on camera.
“This abominable book [the New Testament] brought about the murder of millions of Jews in the Inquisition and autos da fé,” Ben-Ari was quoted as saying, “This is a provocation by church missionaries and there is no doubt that this book and those who sent it belong in the garbage can of history.”
Ben-Ari is also notorious for his role in inciting hatred against Africans, declaring at a rally against African migrants in Tel Aviv last year that, “We have come to expunge the darkness.”
"Bibi" needs to try and keep these backbenchers under control.
Thank You Very Much for your Post, Ibrahim.

If the Africans in question are not Jews already, Ben Ari might do better to take a line from Eddie Cantor..........
