Just when you think there’s nothing new under the sun of bigotry

You get this:
TEL AVIV, Israel - Eight Israelis accused of belonging to a neo-Nazi cell that attacked religious Jews and painted swastikas in synagogues were charged on Tuesday on counts including aggravated assault and weapon possession. …

All eight are immigrants from the former Soviet Union. A police spokesman said they won Israeli citizenship because they each have at least one Jewish grandparent, though most of them are not considered Jewish under rabbinical law.

Just as blacks and other minorities can be bigoted, so too can Jews, sadly.
