MK Yair Lapid responded after Rabbi Peretz criticized him for bringing a fallen soldier into their dispute.
"Rabbi Peretz, the one who despises the IDF's martyrs is you. I suggest that you listen to the broadcast where I spoke about them with respect and love in response to a question I asked. In short, it is impossible to expect anything from a friend of Baruch Goldstein's followers who slanders all the wonderful religious Zionists," Lapid said. .
