Meretz MK Isawi Frej expresses shock at Trump’s victory, saying it should be a wake-up call for the world.

“I woke up this morning to discover that Trump will be the next president of the United States,” he writes on Facebook. “The leader of the free world will be a serial harasser of women, a racist and ranter, who was democratically elected by the American people.

“Trump’s victory was not a mistake, and he is not our main problem at the moment. The direction the American people are going in, and with them the rest of the world, is the problem. The world has become more violent, more racist and more frightening.

“Trump’s victory is the red light we need to wake up, to re-calculate and work out how we get through this period.”
