Yair Golan, a former Israeli general and the leader of the country’s left-wing opposition party, has been barred from wearing an Israeli military uniform, entering a military base or serving as a reservist, Defence Minister Israel Katz said on Friday.
Before retiring, Golan had served as the army’s deputy chief of staff. Katz cited Golan’s remarks on Tuesday criticising the government’s policies in Gaza.
“Israel is on the way to becoming a pariah state, like South Africa was, if we don’t return to acting like a sane country,” Golan told Israeli public radio in an interview.
I think pretty far. But Netanyahu has basically fired and replaced everyone who wasn’t openly going full Nazi mode.
Recently Netanyahu got rid of the secret service head who was investigating his parties ties with Qatar. Netanyahu just now replaced him with a lapdog who was fired by the previous secret service director for corruption.
Netanyahu has destroyed the illusion of Israeli democracy. Israelis didn’t care much about the blatant Apartheid which was already in place. But now that their own precious Israeli votes also don’t count, suddenly it gets them very angry. This was supposed to be an ethnostate where all non-arabs had equal rights, not a dictatorship!
