Yair Lapid condemns Poles’ burning of Jewish Judas effigy

Blue and White’s Yair Lapid condemns the residents of a small town in Poland on Friday who reportedly marked Good Friday by making a large doll of Judas Iscariot featuring classic anti-Semitic tropes, beating it up, hanging it from a tree and then burning it.

“The hatred of Jews in Poland continues to poison the atmosphere,” he tweets. “The Poles need to fight anti-Semitism, not pass laws denying their role in the Holocaust. The Netanyahu government needs to stop stammering and unequivocally condemn this.”
