Responding to a video posted by a left-wing opponent of the Prime Minister, in which he compares Netanyahu to Hitler, yimach shemo (may his name be obliterated), President Reuven Rivlin condemned the man's words.
"There are no excuses for such statements," he said. "Comparing the Prime Minister to this great enemy of the Jews is not a legitimate manner of protest. Such actions shake the very foundations of our great communal enterprise here, and we all have an obligation to condemn them utterly."
