Knesset member Yair Lapid, leader of the center-left Yesh Atid party in Israel's opposition, said that the comments were "pure anti-Semitism." "Our Jewish friends are no more responsible for the actions of Israel or the Netanyahu government than our Muslim friends are for those of various self-styled Islamic states or organizations," the opposition leader said as he announced the results of a report investigating accusations of anti-Semitism within the Labour Party. "It is unacceptable that on such a difficult day for the State of Israel, when an innocent young girl was murdered in a terror attack by an evil terrorist just because she was a Jew, the Leader of the Opposition in the UK compares Israel and ISIS, made worse by being at the launch of a report on anti-Semitism in his own party."
