Jewish Home Chairman and Economics Minister Naftali Bennett sharply criticized Justice Minister Tzipi Livni, in a series of remarks at a conference at Rishon LeZion's Business College.
"Why do not you get on a plane to Paris to solve the problems there?" Bennett fired, referring to Wednesday's horrific shooting rampage by Islamists at the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine. "Maybe you can manage the negotiations, offer them a political peace deal, because this is the solution. Offer to the French to 'end the occupation' and for peace, apologize for the cartoon. It always works."
"Explain to them that peace is made with enemies, there is a partner, and maybe you can divide Paris and give it to those fundamentalist Muslims," he continued. "Maybe say you're not against the cartoons - but the timing is right. The success is so beautiful - see how it worked in Gaza and Lebanon. Send a delegation to bring that experience to their countries."
Bennett then set his target to the political left at large.
"The Left is stuck in the nineties - the same words, the same slogans, those apologies," he said. "Blood continues to be spilled and the Left just does not see it."
"What else needs to happen in the world, in Israel, in Gaza, for them to wake up?" he continued. "Should several missiles fall to wake them up? Do they not realize that the terrorist who tramples a baby in Jerusalem and terrorists who attack in Paris are the same - that they are both fundamentalist Islamists? We are in the Middle East, not in Scandinavia."
