ISRAEL’S Minister for the Diaspora Naftali Bennett flew to Pittsburgh this week to stand alongside US Jews after the far-right terrorist slaughter at the Tree of Life synagogue but disgraced himself by linking it to Palestinians.

“We will fight against the hatred of Jews and anti-semitism wherever it raises its head. And we will prevail.”
