The Ra'am party received harsh criticism on its social networks today (Sunday) after it issued a general statement condemning the attack in which an Israeli citizen was killed and three wounded in Jerusalem, and did so in Hebrew only.
The announcement was made in response to a tweet from the Likud party in which the party's position on the attack was attacked.
A statement from RAAM stated: "For decades, RAAM has opposed and condemned and acted to prevent harm to innocent people on both sides, and will continue to do so especially when it comes to innocent civilians.
RAAM has always called for the sanctity of life, and to avoid any form of violence, and to strive to live together in peace, security, partnership and tolerance, as set out in RAAM's vision.
"The Likud can not preach morality to the Prime Minister and MK Mansour Abbas, period. The Likud led the government for many years, and failed to achieve peace and security and internal stability, so its time is up and replaced. The Likud must accept the fact that there is another government today. ", We will be delayed in the party announcement.
Whoever kills and injures civilians in the heart of Jerusalem is a despicable murderer, neither a martyr nor a hero.
Sends condolences to the family of the deceased and wishes recovery to the wounded, and hopes for better days
