מעניין כמה אנשים שמזדעזעים מהפוגרומים שעושים מתנחלים בגדה המערבית וחושבים שככה זה לא יכול להימשך יצביעו לנפתלי בנט וליאיר לפיד, ראשי הממשלה שתחת כהונתה התופעה הזו הפכה לעניין שגרתי

Whatever could be said about that claim when he made it in 1962, it soon became undeniable that government vaccine research, distribution, and mandates are objectively among the greatest achievements of civilization. Claiming otherwise is embarrassing, it's like saying you don't wash your hands.
