Lieberman: I'm fighting against false comparisons, not songs
Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman responded to a letter written Aviv Geffen son of poet Yehonatan Geffen who compared Palestinian teen provocateur Ahed Tamimi to Anne Frank.
“You are mistaken. I’m not fighting against songs. I’m fighting against comparisons. I’m fighting against the comparison between terrorists who exploit the restraint of IDF officers, who protect us all with all their strength, to Hannah Szenes,” Leiberman wrote on his Twitter account.
Lieberman had blasted Tuesday Geffen's poem about Tamimi, also comparing the teen—who was indicted for striking IDF soldiers—to Hannah Szenes and Joan of Arc, and called on Army Radio to nether interview Geffen nor play his songs.
Geffen's son Aviv then retorted by writing, "I'm sure it has not been easy for you and my heart goes out to you. You've not only started chasing sheep (referencing Geffen's seminal children's songs book "The sixteenth sheep"—ed)—but lost to them as well."
