I Don't Believe It! I Agree With Sever Plocker!

This is truly amazing. Usually I don't like what this guy has to say. Today however, at least part of this article is right on the money:

It doesn't matter whether you're 45 and she's 20, or whether you're 55 and she's 30. The idea that a 20-year-old woman can be physically attracted to an old man like Haim Ramon (who is 56) is baseless, outrageous, and ridiculous, even though it circulates among men of this advanced age.

Only an aggressive, arrogant man lacking self-criticism can imagine that a woman who is more than a generation younger than him would offer him a flirt, physical closeness, or even an erotic kiss.

This lack of good judgment is enough of a reason to keep Haim Ramon away from any position of power. I'm not surprised that someone that supported the Oslo Accords and the "disengagement" has been proven myopic in other areas as well.

Yaakov,

You have done again what you have done so many times: You put a smile on my face!

Yisrael,

As a regular B'Sheva reader I'm aware of the controversy. Rabbi Bina's ad did leave me scratching my head. The posters mentioning the connection to Rennert were also posted in my neighborhood.
