Far-right Heritage Minister Amichay Eliyahu blames the US attack that killed two Israeli Embassy staffers on left-wing The Democrats party head Yair Golan, who said this week that Israel “kills babies as a hobby” before saying he was referring to politicians’ statements allegedly legitimizing such killings.

“Yair Golan’s blood libels are echoed by Nazis and Israel haters around the world,” Eliyahu tweets. “We’re now paying the price with the murderous terror attack in Washington and history teaches us that we will pay more down the line. Yair, the blood of the embassy employees is on your hands and on those of your friends.”
