Panelist Itamar Fleishman attacked this evening (Wednesday) on the program 'The Patriots' on Channel 14 Yair Lapid's remarks in an interview with CNN, in which Lapid called Jewish terrorism 'a disgrace to Israel.' Fleishman claimed that this statement could lead to the shedding of Jewish blood in the United States, and warned: 'Jewish blood will be spilled because of this. Not here. There, in the United States.' He accused Lapid of 'pouring fuel on the antisemitic blood libel' and compared his actions to 'going to the Nazi screenwriter and writing a script with her.' Fleishman criticized Lapid and Bennett's silence toward the settlers, and warned of severe consequences if they come to power. The article quotes a tweet from a female supporter of the criticism, and describes the attack as part of the Israeli political discourse surrounding Israel-US relations and antisemitism.
