Leftist politician Yair Golan causes anger with abominable speech attacking IDF
At a time when Israel is at war, the nation is mourning its dead and soldiers are risking their lives defending the country, certain lines must never be crossed. Yet Yair Golan, the former Israel Defense Forces deputy chief of staff who is now head of the left-wing Democrats Party, obliterated one of those lines with a single, devastating sentence: “A sane country doesn’t kill babies for fun.”Such a disgraceful man had no business enrolling in the army to start with if that's how he's going to approach the whole issue. Utterly repulsive. Golan may have backed off his statements now, but he's still resorting to needless propaganda meant to oppose combating Hamas:
He wasn’t talking about the terrorist Hamas regime that kidnapped, tortured and murdered Israeli children in southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. He wasn’t talking about the monsters who slaughtered infants in their homes during the Hamas-led terrorist attacks that Black Shabbat, or held baby Kfir Bibas and his brother, Ariel, hostage in Gaza before brutally killing them.
No. Golan was talking about our own IDF soldiers—the very men and women he once commanded.
The moral bankruptcy of Golan’s statement becomes clear through the eyewitness account of Natanel Engel, who was present at Israel’s forensic institute when the bodies of the Bibas children were returned in February. His account, shared on his social media, cuts through political rhetoric to reveal the devastating truth.
“This past February, when the bodies of the Bibas family were returned—baby Kfir and his brother Ariel—I was there. At the forensic institute,” Engel wrote. “I saw what was done to them. The marks. The abuse. The evil. And most of all—I saw the faces of the staff who treated them: a team that’s seen it all. Hundreds of bodies have passed through there since that horrific day. Bodies of babies, women, soldiers, civilians. But when it came to the children of this family, even they broke. They stood there, silent. Eyes filled with tears. Eyes hollow. There was no need to speak. It was all written on their faces.”
Engel continued, then, “I hear Yair Golan say, ‘A sane country doesn’t kill babies for fun,’ and he’s talking about IDF soldiers. Not Hamas. Not the murderers who shot, kidnapped, tortured, who held these children in captivity, one of them still nursing, without receiving breast milk! But our soldiers. Our brothers. Our sons. The ones who protect even him.” [...]
Golan knows exactly what happened. And yet, he chose to slander IDF soldiers. This isn’t criticism. This isn’t a minority opinion. This is a vile blood libel.
The Democrats party leader, Yair Golan, gave his first interview to Channel 12 following a wave of criticism over his recent controversial statements, on Saturday evening.Ahem. The only problem is that the IDF should be searching for and rescuing the hostages from whereever they're imprisoned. And so far, that's not exactly the case. But to say the war's goal is solely "political", is to minimize the vitality of obliterating savagery and preventing it from being a threat again. Golan's only failed miserably to recognize why evils must be defeated if future generations are to be safe from violent crime.
In the interview, Golan sought to clarify his intent, saying, “Of course Israel doesn’t kill babies for a hobby. Israel has not committed war crimes in Gaza. My comments were directed at the political leadership. The goal of the war is political. Hamas has been militarily defeated – we must bring the war to an end and secure the release of all the hostages in one decisive move.”
