Democrats chairman Yair Golan on Motzei Shabbos tried to backtrack on the outrageous statements he made last week about IDF soldiers “killing babies as a hobby.” Speaking in an interview with Channel 12, Golan said: “Of course, Israel doesn’t kill babies as a hobby. Israel has not committed war crimes in Gaza.” He excused himself by saying that his statements were directed at the government, claiming that the goal of the war in Gaza is “political.” He then claimed that there is no purpose of the war in Gaza, falsely stating that Hamas has already been “militarily defeated.” The interviewer asked Golan about the harsh statements he himself made following the October 7 assault, when he advocated for starving the residents of Gaza.
