Yair Netanyahu, the son of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, called leftists "traitors" and accused the Israeli left of automatically aligning with Israel's enemies.
"It's so beautiful that now that you can finally use that word. I'll say what everyone in the country thinks," wrote Yair Netanyahu on his Facebook page.
"Left-wing organizations financed by foreign governments and hostility, politicians on the left and media people who always support the enemy side and always against the Jewish interest. Their hearts are full of contempt the victims of terrorism or the victims of the infiltrators, and on the other hand their hearts are full of compassion for every Palestinian rioter who is wounded on the Gaza border.
"It's time to tell the simple truth. According to every basic human standard and agreed upon every nationality in history, they are traitors to all intents and purposes," added the prime minister's son.
