Democratic Party chairman Yair Golan accused Israel of 'killing babies as a hobby' in an interview with Kan Bet radio. Golan stated that 'Israel is on its way to becoming a pariah state among nations, like South Africa once was - if it doesn't return to behaving like a sane country. And a sane country doesn't wage war against civilians, doesn't kill babies as a hobby, and doesn't set goals of population displacement.' Golan added that 'this government is full of vengeful types, who lack morals and the ability to manage a country during emergency.'
