Further adding to the outrage, Elisha Yered, an ultranationalist settler leader and former adviser to a lawmaker in Netanyahu’s governing coalition, defended the spitters, arguing that spitting at Christian clergy and at churches was an “ancient Jewish custom”.

So, even if that was not absolute bullshit, then that would have been a shit custom. How do you get this vile? Yea, well, we've been spitting on "the others" since ancient times isn't a good argument. Just means you've had a fucking awful custom. What a cunt

context aside that's a pretty funny thing to say.

"oh yeah ancient Jewish custom, mate, goes way back"

I don't usually go for the edgy dark jokes, but someone should tell him about an old German custom regarding Jews.
