Sintesi personale
Zahava
Galon di Meretz ha espresso il supporto del suo partito per l'organizzazione israeliana : Breaking the Silence :
"Una corretta democrazia dovrebbe essere orgogliosa di questi
soldati" e ha accusato il ministro della Difesa Moshe
Ya'alon di aderire ad una campagna di "maccartismo" e di "cacciatori di
taglie" contro Breaking the Silence. ." E' necessaria la critica verso chi detiene il potere, censurare questo vuol dire delegittimare lo Stato di Israele
Queste persone sono eroi, non sono traditori . Voglio affermare chiaramente e fermamente ... Meretz sta con Breaking the Silence".
Questa è la risposta di Meretz dopo che il ministro della Difesa Moshe Ya'alon
ha scritto su Twitter Domenica che Breaking the Silence ha "motivazioni
maligne e sarà duramente combattuta dalle autorità."
Breaking the Silence ha risposto ai suoi tweets Lunedi,: "il Ministro si è unito al percorso di incitamento condotto da
organizzazioni di estrema destra negli ultimi mesi contro la democrazia
in Israele e contro chiunque osi chiedere di porre fine alla occupazione e alla colonizzazione.
Four MKs representing three of Israel's political
parties were removed from a plenary Knesset session Monday evening amid
fierce arguments surrounding the topic of left-wing NGO Breaking the
Silence.
The
incident was sparked by comments from Meretz Chair Zahava Galon who
addressed public criticism against the organization, expressing support
for its members and calling them heroes.
"A proper
society needs to be proud of such soldiers," said Galon while accusing
Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon of joining a campaign of "McCarthyism"
and "bounty hunting" against Breaking the Silence.
MK
Aliza Lavie (Yesh Atid) was removed from the meeting after responding
to Galon, saying that Breaking the Silence acts in an "ugly and
perverse" manner.
"Everything
needs to be checked," Lavie conceded, but continued, "Bring facts and
evidence. Don't fly at the expense of the New Israel Fund or other
leftist funders to stages in the world that open their doors because a
hot item is arriving from Israel from the mouth of Hebrew speakers who
bring the slime to the surface."
According
to Galon however, "A proper Democracy needs to allow for criticism of
those in power and those who silence organizations and those who insist
on hounding them and prevents criticism of those in power help aid in
the de-legitimization of the State of Israel.
"These
people are heroes, they aren't traitors," she continued. "I want to
state clearly and firmly ... Meretz stands by Breaking the Silence."
Her
comments caused commotion and MKs Lavie, Mirav Ari (Kulanu), Mickey Levi
(Yesh Atid) and Nava Boker (Likud) were removed from the meeting.
Galon's controversial remarks came after Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon
wrote on Twitter Sunday that Breaking the Silence has "malicious
motives" and said authorities "will harshly fight such movements."
Breaking
the Silence responded to his tweets Monday, saying that the defense
minister "appointed himself minister of silencing and fearmongering as
he joined the path of incitement conducted by extremist right-wing
organizations in recent months against democracy in Israel and anyone
who dares call for an end to the occupation and settlement factory.
