How bout he says this, then: "It pains me greatly that there are Israelis who are unable to respect our national independence day. The advancements of our country have provided alternatives for all types of ways to be freely and openly Jewish...this country did not exist when I was a child, and definitely not in the time of our parents who had nothing more than war, discrimination, and oppression on Pesach.
