Democrats Chairman Yair Golan confronted the bereaved father Itzik Buntzel today (Wednesday) at a conference of the Bar Association held in Eilat, whose son, Amit Ya'd, fell in the Gaza Strip during the 'Iron Swords' war.

Bunzel shouted at Golan, who was supposed to begin his interview on stage: "You don't have to talk here.".
Golan said contemptuously: "Do you want to go on stage?".
The bereaved father replied: "You need to get off the stage.""
Golan responded: "I won't get off the stage, you don't scare me.".
The bereaved father continued to shout at Golan, as the conference security guards tried to calm him down and remove him from the scene. "You are a person who incites hatred against the soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces, hatred for the state. Shame on you. IDF soldiers kill babies as a hobby. How could you say something like that?""
Golan responded: "You lie time and time again.".
Bunzel was not left unscathed: "You're lying. You need to get out of here. This is a disgrace.".
Golan responded: "You are really a Democrat.".
In the margins, MK Yair Golan addresses the bereaved father and calls him Zarka, and then corrects Buntzel's name, "Yad Hanekae"? Reminds me of what they did here to someone else who got confused by the name of a bereaved father. pic.twitter.com/ONRsTsX35S
