Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) on Sunday labeled Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a “genocidal maniac” who was deliberately killing Palestinian civilians, prompting a sharp retort from the Jewish state’s envoy to the United Nations.

“Genocidal maniac Netanyahu is burning Palestinians alive, bombing hospitals, starving people, and killing aid workers. When will our country stop funding this madness? When?” tweeted Tlaib.

To which Israeli U.N. Ambassador Danny Danon retorted: “The only ones burning children alive were your buddies over at Hamas.”

Last month, Tlaib vehemently denounced a cartoon by Henry Payne at The National Review depicting her at a desk with a smoking pager and the caption: “Odd, my pager just exploded.”
