Schadenfreude

Far-Right MK Arieh Eldad "can't bear the thought of hearing German in the Knesset...the language my grandparents were murdered in."

What's next? Is he going to boycott McCain's visit because he can't bear hearing the language his crazy Stern Gang father was arrested in? Why not ban Yiddish, it's a dialect of German after all? My grandparents were pogrom-ed in Russian, should I never go to the doctor lest my ears be polluted?

I assume Pig Latin would certainly be out of the question. Now is that because it's aif-tray or it's the language the Emple-tay was destroyed in?
