Labor party chair Merav Michaeli slams the government over rising deaths in terror attacks, after only a year ago while in opposition, they were blaming her government for increasing attacks.

“At every terror attack that occurred on the watch of the previous government, this government’s members came to the scene of the attack in order to dance on the blood of the victims,” Michaeli tweets.

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, then an opposition lawmaker, would often arrive at the scene of terror attacks, and one time, got into a shouting match with his predecessor Omer Barlev.

“They came to the scene of the murder together with a cheerleading squad, sang and screamed with megaphones at the previous governments’ ministers. The year has not yet ended and there are already over 30 murdered under the current government, but they swallow their tongue. They closed the nightclub for dancing on blood,” she writes.

“Now, some of them stay silent, while some blame the opposition for terrorist attacks. The responsibility is never on them. There is no group more dangerous and irresponsible for the State of Israel,” she adds.
