You Must Be Kidding: 
"I would be happy to sit on a roof and see Amos Oz dissipate like smoke from the chimney in Treblinka.”
--Music producer Dudu Elharar explains how much he hates left-wing Israelis, like renowned author Amos Oz, who use Nazi symbols in comparisons with the Israeli occupation of the Palestinians.*

Interviews: 
The members of the 103FM ‘breakfast club’ spoke Wednesday on their program with Dudu Elharar, singer, producer and TV and radio presenter, following an argument that took place between him and Yariv Oppenheimer on live TV. (Maariv)
Shai: "Good morning Dudu Elharar.”
Dudu Elharar: "Nice, who is this?"
Shai: "Shai Goldstein and Leah Larev from Radio 103FM.
Dudu Elharar: "Goldstein, that’s a golden stone!"
Shai: "We were on the air and we saw you first on television with Yariv Oppenheimer of Peace Now.
Dudu Elharar: "I don’t know what you're talking about"
Shai: "You were on TV an hour ago"
Dudu Elharar: "I was on TV an hour ago?"
Shai: "You were not on TV an hour ago?"
Dudu Elharar: "I'm in Haifa, what are you talking about?"
Shai: "You're always tricking us, we saw you on television, you called him a bastard and an idiot.”
Dudu Elharar: "He's a bastard and he's an idiot, but I wasn’t on television, you're wrong.”
Leah: "So you know you have an impostor out there? Someone who sounds like you and looks like you?”
Dudu Elharar: "I have clones everywhere, and you probably do, too.”
Shai: “For sure. Maybe we will try to get your response to the case of Yehonatan Geffen. You produced the album 'The Sixteenth Sheep,' you are close friends, what do you say about the things he said when he compared (Ahed) Tamimi to Anne Frank?"
Dudu Elharar: "He compared her to Jean d’Arc.”
Leah: "Is that what bothers you? That he compared her to Jean D’Arc?”
Dudu Elharar: "Who is Tamimi, one of the kidnapped Yemenite children?” [Reference to children of Yemenite immigrants who were kidnapped from parents by governmental authorities and given to barren Ashkenazi families. - OH]”
Shai: “Tell me, are you alright?”
Dudu Elharar: "I don’t know what you want from me. I just woke up.”
Shai: "You did not just wake up. You were interviewed an hour ago on television.”
Dudu Elharar: "You will not tell me where I was.”
Shai: "I just want your response regarding Yehonatan Geffen.”
Dudu Elharar: "What did Yehonatan Geffen say?"
Shai: “Tell me, do you drink in the morning? Are you after the joint?”
Dudu Elharar: "Now you are speaking badly.“
Leah: "Why badly? we use clean language.”
(Yariv Oppenheimer joins the conversation)
Shai: "Yariv?"
Yariv Oppenheimer: "Yes"
Shai: “Hey, we're on the air and Dudu Elharar says he did not argue with you an hour ago on television.”
Yariv Oppenheimer: "The truth is that the person who was arguing with me on television was not at fully sane.”
Shai: "What do you say about that Dudu?”
(Dudu does not answer)
Yariv Oppenheimer: "Maybe he evaporated. He said that leftists should be sent to the extermination cells. He wrote it on Facebook. When he is reminded of that, he loses himself a bit.”
Leah: "He’s not answering. How was it to debate with this man?"
Yariv Oppenheimer: "I would say there it was a predictable debate.”
Shai: "What was the debate about? Yehonatan Geffen?"
Yariv Oppenheimer: "Yes, I think the last one who can really come with complaints to Yehonatan Geffen about this influence is Dudu Elharar. The two have something in common. Both Dudu Elharar and Yehonatan Gefen compared things to the Holocaust and they both took part in the making of the ‘Sixteenth Sheep' album. If they are boycotting Yehonatan Geffen, they are apparently also boycotting Dudu Elharar. I make the difference between Dudu Elharar, who is a man on the verge of delusion, and between the artist. We take what we can and ignore the other things.”
Shai: "What’s going to happen with all the delusions that are happening around us?"
Yariv Oppenheimer: "I don’t think that what Yehonatan Geffen wrote is delusional.”
(Dudu returns to the conversation)
Shai: "Oh, Dudu came back. Listen, we’re here with Yariv Oppenheimer on the line"
Dudu Elharar: "Sweet Yariv. Yariv, Yariv, Yariv."
Leah: "What’s your beef with Yariv, Dudu?”
Dudu Elharar: "I love him terribly.”
Shai: "You called him an idiot on television"
Dudu Elharar: "First of all, I love idiots, I love you too.”
Shai: "Yariv Oppenheimer says you wanted to send leftists to extermination camps.”
Dudu Elharar: "Not just any leftists, but leftists who use Nazi symbols. Anyone using Nazi symbols ..."
Shai "What leftists use Nazi symbols?"
Dudu Elharar: “Should I give you an example?"
Shai: "Yes"
Dudu Elharar: "Yeshayahu Leibowitz, who referred to ‘Judeonazis,’ Shulamit Aloni, who compared the ultra-Orthodox to the Nazis, Amos Oz, who called the hilltop youth 'neo-Nazis' ..."
Yariv Oppenheimer: "And they should all be sent to extermination camps?”
Dudu Elharar: "I will only say one sentence to Yariv in conclusion… Those who use Nazi symbols should taste Nazism."
Shai: “Can I use as the headline from this conversation: 'Dudu Elharar says this morning that Amos Oz should be sent to the extermination camp?’”
Dudu Elharar: "No. But I would love to sit on the roof in Treblinka and see Amos Oz dissipate like smoke from the chimney, which is a better headline."
Leah: "Wow.”
Shai: "So our headline is, ‘Dudu Elharar: 'I would love to sit on the roof in Treblinka and see Amos Oz dissipate like smoke from the chimney.’”
(Radio presenter Nissim Mishal joins the conversation)
Nissim Mishal: "You guys have gone too far, are you crazy?”
Shai: "We? It’s Dudu Elharar. He said it.”
Nissim Mishal: “That’s very serious. Dudu, this is Nissim Mishal, you said a very severe sentence. In your place, I would retract.”
Dudu Elharar: "I'm not retracting.”

How Do Holocaust Survivors Feel About Expelling Asylum Seekers? 'We Haven't Learned the Lessons of History'
Colette Avital, chairwoman of the Center of Organizations of Holocaust Survivors in Israel says the organization is firmly against the deportation of African asylum seekers, while Yad Vashem stays silent. (Interviewed by Nir Gontarz in Haaretz+)
Excerpts:
Gontarz: I’m calling you on a morning that’s been one big disappointment for me, because of Yad Vashem [the Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem]. I understood this morning that they’re more of a political body than a museum. One after the other of the senior staff there, including Mr. Avner Shalev [the director], slammed the phone down on me when I asked to speak to them about the subject I’m now going to talk to you about. They are simply a political body. I asked them this morning to remove from their database the details I gave them in the past about my family.
Avital: It’s a body that’s funded – its leadership is funded – by the government.
Gontarz: Yes. In any case, my grandmother, who lost her family in Europe, instilled in me from an early age the conception that the lessons of the Holocaust are not just persecution of Jews and anti-Semitism, but also racism and…
Avital: I identify with her.
Gontarz:…not extending a hand to a persecuted refugee. Now our government is about to deport asylum seekers who fled from war zones in Africa, on the baseless claim that there is a demographic problem, which actually doesn’t exist. It’s racism per se: The fact is that no one is dealing with the thousands of undocumented white people in Israel. And whose voice is not being heard? That of Yad Vashem and of organizations of Holocaust survivors. Why?
Avital: Let’s go from the end to the beginning. You can definitely take into account that I, as chairwoman of the Center of Organizations of Holocaust Survivors in Israel, am ready to speak out everywhere, in a loud voice, as much as possible, [and say] that we as Holocaust survivors think it’s sad that we – precisely those who should have learned the lessons of our history – are behaving in this way toward a handful of people who are not endangering either Israel’s demography or its future.

How Did 'Mrs. Netanyahu' Turn Into 'First Lady'? 'The Term Came From the Prime Minister's Residence'
Sara Netanyahu is the prime minister's wife, not the president's, and 'First Lady' isn't an official title in Israel. Why was she introduced as such during Pence's visit? Interview with Israel’s chief of state protocol Meron Reuben reveals that the verbal announcements of Sara Netanyahu as ‘First Lady’ came from the Prime Minister’s Office and the reference in formal invitations came from the Prime Minister’s Residence. But neither were approved by the Protocol office. (Interviewed by phone by Nir Gontarz in Haaretz+)
