Race issue is Heating Battle beteween Kadima and Shas

Shas MK: Only white people exist in Kadima

Battle between ruling party, ultra-Orthodox movement heating up. Shas faction chairman Yakov Margi slams Livni's advisors, comparing them to Nazi propagandists. 'Those who portrayed the haredim as extortionists grew up in habitat of those who painted Jews as mice,' he says

Speaking in a closed meeting with Shas activists in Herzilya, Margi said, "Kadima's strategists would be made members of honor in any newspaper editorial board in Europe in the 1930s."

According to the MK, "We can only imagine what the cartoons look like in Kadima's newspaper, expressing the messages emerging from their chairwoman's office. Those who portrayed the haredim as extortionists grew up in the habitat of those who painted Jews as mice."

He added that "today we understand what the strategists meant when they spoke of different politics. They meant white politics. As far as Kadima and its strategists are concerned, those who are not white do not exist, particularly if they are black."

"I am amazed at those who claim to be the best strategists in the country. We already had one party which used the worst propaganda methods and was wiped off the map, because the public denounced it and vomited because of it. Kadima will likely end up like Shinui."
