(4,449 posts)but he is a warrior not a politician , same could be said of Benny Gantz only Gantz leans to the right and Yair to the left .
All of his political rivals are having a field day and why ?
Latest polls gave him 17 seats , ......more than Gantz or Lapid .
You dont know who he is like we do ......
Former PM Ehud Barak defends Yair Golan amid outcry over killing babies accusation
Former Labor prime minister Ehud Barak defends The Democrats chairman Yair Golan following widespread outrage over a statement he made during a radio interview on Tuesday morning, alleging that Israel was killing babies in Gaza as a hobby.
Yair Golan is a brave, direct man [and] if I had to go on a raid tonight or a tough political campaign tomorrow, I would prefer him by my side over all his detractors and condemners of the last few hours, Barak, an ex-IDF chief of staff, tweets.
Even if it would have been better if he had chosen one or two other words, it is clear that he meant the political leadership, not the fighters, Barak insists.
