Moshe Feiglin, the head of the Likud’s Jewish Leadership faction, criticized incumbent party head Binyamin Netanyahu on Monday for locating his campaign headquarters in the same building as a group that attempts to convert Jews to Christianity. Netanyahu’s headquarters is on the building’s second floor, while the first floor is used by the Dugit “Messianic Information Center.”
Feiglin said Netanyahu’s choice of the building showed his lack of respect for Jewish values. Feiglin said that he himself had chosen to reject a campaign contribution from Jews for Jesus, and called Netanyahu “completely disconnected from everything Jewish.” Netanyahu belongs in the left-wing Meretz party, he added, not in Likud.
