This is a Jewish city, said Shimon Gafsou of his adopted home town, now and forever. To be more specific: I would rather cut off my right arm than build an Arab school, the mayor said in an interview on his terrace at city hall. Ditto mosques. No, no, no. No mosques, ever, Gafsou said. No churches. Or Ramadan lanterns or manger scenes. And no Christmas trees, said the mayor of a town that abuts the largest Arab city in Israel, celebrated as the childhood home of Jesus. |

Gapso reportedly received a letter of endorsement from the prime minister, in which Netanyahu wrote: "As municipal elections near, I wish to express my support of Shimon Gapso. Shimon represents Nazareth Illit with determination, talent and devotion. He is the candidate that I endorse for the mayor of Nazareth Illit." |
