“I heard someone speak of people who kiss mezuzot with disdain. Since when is it a crime to kiss a mezuzah? We know where we came from and we know what country we came back to. We know what we are fighting to keep. We know about our tradition and about our heritage,” Netanyahu said.
The prime minister was speaking at a conference of Likud women, according to NRG.
