    Yeah, the misleading headline/tagline are 100% on the site. Heck, the community rules require the title to match the article, so it’s not like you had an option.

    Feiglin is a nutjob, but he’s unfortunately a shrewd politician and Israeli politics are currently dominated by finge nutjobs.

    In general, calling someone a diplomat implies that they are currently representing the State. While it is an impressive qualification, and Italy is not a minor posting, he would face very real consequences for saying those things if he were currently holding that position.

    That ultimately is kind of the point: neither of them will face domestic consequences for this. One has always been at the fringe shouting hateful stuff, and the other works for a right wing newspaper as an opinion writer.
