Yair Golan: Homesh residents - these are not people but subhumans, despicable

January 6, 2022   

Deputy Minister of Economy Yair Golan This morning (Thursday), in an interview he gave to the Knesset Channel, Meretz launched an unusual and harsh attack against the settlers of Homesh. Did you divide? For thousands of years we dreamed of Jerusalem, so now we want to dirty it? On Saturday: The mother rested, the child pulled the trigger – and was hospitalized in serious condition Are you crazy? Is your child unprotected? One in every 150 children who contracted the virus was hospitalized ""People who come and settle a place that was legally evacuated and no one should be there, and when I was commander of Judea and Samaria, I didn't let anyone settle there. Now they are crying out: Oh my God, how could this be possible? This is shame and disgrace. Those people who come to settle there are rioting in the village of Burka, smashing tombstones and committing a pogrom," Golan claimed. He added: "These are not people, but subhumans, despicable people and the corruption of the Jewish people. They must not be given any support and they must be forcibly removed from this place and law and order must be restored to the area. This nationalist rampage will bring disaster upon us." Minister of Culture and Sports Trooper troops He said in response: "I am ashamed of the ugly and unnecessary expression of Deputy Economy Minister Yair Golan. No, the settlers of Homesh are not subhuman, but Israeli citizens who think differently and have deep disagreements with them. Substandard discourse and management of disagreements within us will not advance us, they will only dismantle us from within."" Benjamin Netanyahu He responded: "The settlers in Judea and Samaria are not 'subhuman' as Deputy Minister Yair Golan, a member of the Bennett government, called them today. The settlers are pioneering Zionists who are settling the land of our ancestors. After this shameful statement, which is taken directly from Nazi terminology against the Jewish people, Bennett must fire Yair Golan today." Chairman of the Religious Zionist Party MK Bezalel Smotrich' He said in response: "If we thought it was the height of shame that the Minister of Public Security calls half a million law-abiding citizens 'violent' and slanders them, today Yair Golan calls the settlers of Homes the Heroes 'subhumans.' A nickname given to Jews by the Nazis. "The people of the Bennett and Shaked national camp are told: 'Fly out of our sight,' and they embrace the auto-anti-Semitic extreme leftists. The State of Israel is in danger." Also  Naftali Bennett Condemned the Deputy Minister's words: "Yair Golan's words about the settlers in the Five Lands are shocking, generalizing and bordering on a blood libel. The settlement in Judea and Samaria is the pioneering of our time. We did not take a foreign land... but the inheritance of our ancestors." Minister of the Interior, Ayelet Shaked"Yair Golan's words disgrace and shame his past. The settlers of Homesh are pioneers, settlers of the land and lovers of it. The yeshiva in Homesh spreads Torah and light, which dispels a little of this darkness. Yair Golan will continue to fool himself into thinking that these wonderful pioneers will continue to settle the land." The Minister Matan Kahane: "Subhuman (in German Untermensch) is a notorious expression used by the Nazis to describe 'inferior people' according to Nazi ideology (Wikipedia). Yair, as a person who recognizes processes, you are the last person who should speak like that." Minister of Education Yifat Shasha Biton"While we are working to eradicate the scourge of violence and bullying in the education system, the last thing our children need to hear is the entire public being called "subhuman." It would be good if Deputy Minister Golan retracted his remarks." MK Yinon Azoulay MSHS: "The use of the expression 'subhuman' is an ancient racist and anti-Semitic use, directed against the Jewish people over the years by its greatest enemies. The fact that Golan adopts the expression against parts of the Jewish people gives him a place of disrespect on a 'glorious' list of Israel-haters.".

MK Ofir Sofer"The deputy minister in the 10-point government of Yamina continues the leading and inciting line against the settlement and Judaism of the Bennett-Lapid government. But one thing is clear: the settlers of Homesh, and the Land of Israel in general, will continue to settle the Land of Israel with love and great faith. Without fear or awe.".

MK Nir Barkat: "Deputy Minister Yair Golan's words against the settlers border on anti-Semitism. It is sad that an official representative of the Israeli government chooses to express himself in this way, against the settlers in Judea and Samaria, who are the pioneers of our time. A Jew has the right to live wherever he wants to live in the world, and especially in all parts of the Land of Israel, which is the inheritance of our ancestors. The only thing that needs to be removed is this evil government." Chairman of the 'Homes First' lobby and former Speaker of the Knesset, MK Yuli Edelstein: "Deputy Minister, Deputy Chief of Staff. Deputy Adam. Yair, despite your anger and resentment, Homesh will be rebuilt and its wonderful people will lead the renewal and momentum of settlement in northern Samaria and in general.". Shlomo Neeman, head of the Gush Etzion Bloc Council: "The deputy minister, who is well-versed in history, has apparently gone into hysteria. His hysteria stems from the success of the settlement project. He should remember the dark times when such terms were used against Jews. And we will continue to succeed in the work of settling the land.". Matan Peleg, chairman of the Im Tirtzu movement, responded: "The last ones to use the words 'subhuman' towards Jews were the Nazis. This is a terrible and shameful statement. The difference between controversy and extreme dehumanization towards Jews and the denial of their right to exist is shocking. "We invite Yair Golan to visit Yad Vashem and the Ghetto Fighters Museum to refresh his memory a bit. Shame." Organization ''In his image' Calls for the immediate establishment of a temporary ethics committee and for him to be suspended from the Knesset for six months and his salary to be revoked. "There is no doubt that if a right-wing MK had said this about Arabs or any other population, the entire country would be shocked and rightly so. We demand that the Speaker of the Knesset and the opposition center act as soon as possible to convene the ethics committee once and for all and suspend Yair Golan from the Knesset for six months. And to revoke his salary. "It is impossible for the Israeli Knesset to remain silent in the face of such a display of incitement to hatred and racism. To the extent that this is not possible, I call on all members of the Knesset to boycott Golan's appearances in the Knesset and every time he gives a speech, that they stand up and walk out, as was done in the past to racists in the Knesset." Shai Glick, CEO of the Knesset, in his photo: "In 2022, there is no more room for divisive discourse, hate speech and incitement. Yair Golan will apologize immediately." Media person Fellow"Even by the standards of this delusional person, this is a new record. He made a career out of comparing us to Nazis and now uses against the citizens of Israel an expression invented by the Nazis." .
