Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu blamed Democratic Party chairman Yair Golan for the attack in Washington where two embassy workers were murdered. He claimed: 'Yair Golan's blood libels resonate among Nazis and Israel-haters worldwide, and we're paying the price for them now. History teaches us we will pay more in the future. Yair, the blood of the embassy workers is on your hands and your associates' hands.' Culture and Sports Minister Miki Zohar sent a similar message: 'When disgraceful and irresponsible politicians spread false defamation against Israel with deceitful accusations, it was clear that antisemitism would rear its head.'
