Yankel: As you know UTJ has a Rabbinic leadership of the top Gedolei Yisroel of our era. If Rabbi Goldknof said something out of line, especially in his capacity as officially representative of UTJ, which this comment was as it was made in the Knesset, then the Gedolei Rabbonim shlita would have required him to publicly retract.
Not only haven’t they asked him to retract, he and other MKs from UTJ have in the past, as well, invited Nazi terminology against the State of “Israel”.
By the way, Rav Elyashiv zt”l publicly said (and a recording is available) that the Knesset is a Bais Minus (and that the permission for the frum MKs to enter is due to a shas hadchak.
