‘Blood libels’: Netanyahu slams Golan for saying Israel killing babies as a hobby

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slams the Democrat’s Yair Golan for saying Israel was killing babies in Gaza “as a hobby,” calling the statement “wild incitement” and a blood libel.”

“I vehemently condemn the wild incitement from Yair Golan against our heroic soldiers and against the State of Israel,” Netanyahu says in a statement. “The IDF is the most moral army in the world, and our soldiers are fighting in a war for our existence.”

“Golan, who encourages refusal to serve and compared Israel to Nazis while he was still in the military, has now reached a new low when he claimed Israel is ‘killing babies as a hobby,'” Netanyahu says.

“At a time when we are fighting a multifront war and leading complicated diplomatic efforts to free our hostages and defeat Hamas, Golan and his friends in the radical left are trumpeting the most despicable antisemitic blood libels against IDF soldiers and the State of Israel,” Netanyahu says. “There is no limit to the moral decay.”
