* So here we have it: when radical activists are no longer in power, their hatred for conservative governments and their leaders apparently transcends respect for democracy.
* Golan's suspiciously self-serving ruminations, are, of course, pure fantasy, and uttered at great potential cost to Israel's credibility... "if elections were held today, The Democrats would win 16 [out of 120] Knesset seats..."
* Even before the establishment of the modern state of Israel in 1948, Jews had a long history of trying to establish a state in the land of Israel according to a European template built on believing you can make peace with people whose goal in life is to destroy you. These efforts only gave birth to policies like the Oslo Accords, which turned out to be disastrous for Israel.

Golan continued in his May 20 remarks, "[I]t is time to replace this government as soon as possible so that this war can also come to an end."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his cabinet colleagues and even his political opponents, were outraged at Golan's "blood libel" against the heroic warriors of Israel, who for nearly two years, have been defending their country and sacrificing their lives for it. Nearly 900 Israeli soldiers have been killed so far in the war begun by Hamas on October 7, 2023,
