Ultra-Orthodox MK derides Reform ‘crying’ over Western Wall plan
Moshe Gafni, a lawmaker from the ultra-Orthodox United Torah Judaism party, slams the Reform Movement for its criticism of yesterday’s cabinet decision to shelve the hard-won deal for a pluralistic prayer pavilion at the Western Wall.
“The crying of the Reform Jews is like the man who murders his father and then turns around and begs for mercy because he’s an orphan,” Gafni says.
“They sit in the US, and intervene in what’s going on here, even though they have no mandate to do so,” he adds.
