"Desecrates the memory of the murdered":
Knesset member Tali Gottlieb, in an unprecedented statement, yesterday (Saturday night) accused the President of the Supreme Court, Esther Hayut, of the stampede attack that happened on Friday at noon in Jerusalem.
"I blame her for the attack and the chaos in the people of Israel," Gottlieb wrote.
I blame the President of the Supreme Court for the attack.
I blame her for the sense of chaos in the people of Israel. I blame her for the destruction and severe damage to democracy and the rule of law.
She was intimidated by a right-wing government.
Not because of the reform.
So what if there is chaos here, then what if our enemies turn on us because they recognize a weakness in our neighbor, everything is kosher on the way to overthrowing the right-wing government

The member of the Knesset from the Likud wrote on her Twitter account: "I blame the President of the Supreme Court for the attack. I blame her for the sense of chaos in the people of Israel. I blame her for the destruction and serious damage to democracy and the rule of law. She threatened the right-wing government. Not the reform. So what if there is chaos here, So what if our enemies turn their backs on us because they recognize a weakness among us, everything is kosher on the way to overthrowing right-wing rule."
The reactions to the outrageous statement were not long in coming, and rightly so.
Right-wing people, especially from the media, also condemned the accusation of President Hayut in the attack.
MK Karin Elharer responded: "These words of incitement and incitement come from a Knesset member of the ruling party.
Every time we thought we had reached rock bottom, they take us lower."

MK Gilad Karib also replied to MK Gottlieb: "Even more than this tweet constitutes an unprecedented and dangerous incitement towards the President of the Supreme Court; even more than this tweet is an abominable lie; even more than this tweet indicates a loss of temper and letting go of all restraint - it is insulting the honor and memory of those murdered in the attack and their families."
