The friends of former Knesset Member Sharon Gal (Yisrael Beytenu), who is currently hanging out at the Big Brother house, sent a helicopter up to the sky with the sign If a Zionist is a racist, Im proud to be racist. It would have been more accurate to write, If being a racist is Zionist, Im proud to be a Zionist, as Gals Zionism is not the fulfillment or the creation of an exemplary Jewish society.
