Yair Golan
“Unfortunately, Saturday night protests are not enough,” said Yair Golan, urging Israelis to “tell the government that we will not continue to pay taxes.”
The U.S. State Department “unequivocally rejects dehumanizing and inflammatory language, regardless of who is targeted by such rhetoric,” a spokesperson said.
Yair Golan lobbied for “broader use” of reserve service refusals to topple the Netanyahu government.
Yair Golan, a former Israel Defense Forces deputy chief of staff, was elected with over 95% of the votes.
Former prime minister Ehud Barak blasts the move as “attempted political intimidation.”
Golan told reporters he seeks to “fight the messianic and corrupt right.”
“It cannot be that people are afraid to drive at night near Beersheva,” says the vehicle’s driver, who had his daughter with him at the time of the attack.
“Perhaps one can say they are ‘despicable thugs.’ This is the bitter truth, even if [people] don’t like to hear it,” says Israel’s Deputy Economy Minister Yair Golan.
Deputy Economy Minister Yair Golan’s remarks were “taken directly from Nazi terminology against the Jewish people,” says Israeli opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu.
