Oren Hazan of the Likud is a controversial Israeli lawmaker. It should therefore come as no surprise that he was the first to speak out against the marriage of Arab TV presenter Lucy Aharish to actor Tzahi HaLevi, star of the successful TV series "Fauda."
Jumping to defend HaLevi from being tainted by the scourge of mixed marriage, Hazan wrote in a crass Facebook post, “I am not accusing Lucy Aharish of seducing a Jewish soul in an attempt to harm our state and preventing more descendants of Jews from carrying on the Jewish legacy. That is why she is invited to convert.” To HaLevi, he wrote, “You’ve taken 'Fauda' a step too far. Step out of this film, man!”
