Reading Haaretz for me is usually a moral chore, but let’s hope that columnist Chemi Chalev has got it right this time:
“For though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes,” as the Book of Proverbs note. As the late Senator Bentsen might have said [a reference to what he said about Dan Quayle re Jack Kennedy in 1988], had he gotten the chance, “I served with the righteous. I’ve known righteous politicians. Righteous men have been friends of mine. Mr. Trump, you’re no righteous man.”
