Quote of the Day

We are not baboons, stop it with all these things, telling us how to live. Dont try to help us, we know how to deal with ourselves. What is this supremacy? Enough with this already! You arent sick of it yet? If I would go on your broadcast and tell your youth who go bang their heads in pubs on Thursdays and Fridays that it is really bad for the liver, what would you say to me..

  -- MK Yaakov Asher (UTJ) responding to the repetitive questions about one of the main demands of UTJ for joining the coalition being the immediate revocation of the sweet drink tax

in Israel everybody tells everybody else how to live, regardless of sector

    Libertarianism for the most part ain't a Jewish concept
    And if it works it would for those who prefer to be primarily without intergenerational direction


    And as those comments are bound to boomerang back to haunt his party outlook
    Mr Asher is being foolish

      nah. for decades already UTJ and Shas (and under whatever names in previous iterations of the religious parties) have been telling people how to live, what they can and cannot do, while saying dont tell us how to live our lives.
