Nationalist activist Itamar Ben-Gvir responded Wednesday to an accusation from former minister Moshe Shachal saying that he and other protesters have blood on their hands. “Those with bloody hands are Moshe Shachal and his colleagues in the bloody government that brought us Oslo, gave weapons to terrorists and neglected defense” he charged.

“Entire families were destroyed, entire houses were demolished, because of this delusional group, which [now] prefers holding cocktail parties to asking forgiveness,” he continued. Ben-Gvir said the people in question are behind a “massive media campaign” targeting nationalists.
