Online attack against Eyal Golan: "Your children are not guilty, you are guilty" | Israel today

Even when it comes to expressing grief over what his children are going through because of him, the network did not feel sorry for the singer • "You are the reason your children are suffering" • Liam Productions: "Injustice to an innocent person"

Eyal Golan's history is once again provoking a storm: In the

week in which he marks the happy birth of his daughter Miel, singer Eyal Golan found himself once again at the heart of an attack.

Behind the rage directed at the singer this time, a video shot about a year ago when Golan was in Brazil, in the midst of filming the all-star season of the reality show "Golstar".

In those days, a storm broke out in Israel following a television investigation into the "board games" affair, the same affair in which Golan was suspected of having sex with minors and ended with the closing of the case against him.

To cheer him up, the show's producer made sure to send him a video starring his children Liam and Aline, when she also dedicated a song to her father that made him burst into tears in front of the cameras.

"These kids have to go through everything I do in my life," he broke down in tears.

"These two kids have done nothing in their lives, and they don't deserve to go through what they're going through. It's fun to say 'the greatest singer in the country,' all is well. In the end, all my life my goal has been to make people happy, and I can make people happy, but I can't make my children happy. "

• This is what we thought of the "ambulance" of Noa Kirl and Margie

The video quickly flooded the net, but instead of encouraging compassion, it mostly managed to upset viewers and surfers.

"Those who have been here for some time know that our Bat Sign is Eyal Golan. Why? Because it sums it all up. Class exploitation, sexual assault, pure misogyny and of course - evasion of punishment," read the Facebook page and Twitter account of the Kolan organization. Promoting feminist discourse and practice in the country.

"Eyal Golan is not a bad person, and in my opinion even a good person, but the difficulty of admitting a mistake and apologizing is what stabs him in life and does not clear him of this whole affair. Too bad."

"And here's another example," the poignant post continued.

"Eyal Golan's children are hurt as a result of what he did. Obviously they are hurt. It's horrible and it's embarrassing and they do not deserve to go through it. But even that does not make him apologize. Even that does not make him make a statement that he understands he was wrong. "From now on, he will work to ensure that such things do not happen."

Later, those behind the post make it clear that for them, the entire blame lies with the singer and not with anyone else.

"... it just makes him cry and blame the media and society for his children suffering. You're the reason your children are suffering. You're the reason these girls are suffering. And you're also the reason girls and women continue to suffer," it read.

"Because when a famous singer took advantage of his status to sexually exploit girls and drove them to Potmobil to 'pamper' his friends and the world just kept quiet - the message is that it is allowed, it is possible and it does not interest anyone. Eyal Golan's children suffer because their father never said "What I did was wrong.

I'm sorry, I'll make sure it never comes back.

"The suffering of his children does not make him make a statement that he understands that he was wrong, that he takes the blame, that he will make sure that such things do not happen ... after all, he did not care about the suffering of exploited girls, only the harm to himself," the tweet said. The association.

"What Eyal Golan did, even if he does not meet the criminal threshold, should shock us all as a society. The treatment of girls as a toy that men pass from hand to hand cannot pass in silence," read the end of a series of tweets that received countless reinforcements from surfers.

"Exactly, he's very much trying to correct an impression. He lives in a tic tac with his wife and children and introduces himself as a family man. I once read that he said something along the lines of how long will you judge me ... So I ask you Mr. Eyal Golan And you want to start over. Have you ever expressed remorse? Did you apologize? Did you apologize to the girls? You could also take advantage of this platform. Apologize, explain and speak on the subject for the teens and people who admire you. How not to behave and how to stop. "I would respect you more than this journey of rapprochement. You can still change," a surfer wrote.

"What is rape culture and who sustains it? Cultural writings that release a video in which Eyal Golan talks about how difficult it is for him in his life in light of the publications about his part in the horrific exploitation affair, and instead of criticizing collaborators with those producers who exploit the affair for ratings." The Feminist Magazine.

"Eyal Golan is the last one who needs to educate people. If he wants to make his home better, he should leave talk and try to drop the responsibility on other people at the moment. Get out of the spotlight instead of trying to draw more fire."

"Eyal Golan: Six years I've been crushing, no one stops to think about my children. A 16-year-old girl from a distressed neighborhood inside the Potmobile: That's right," tweeted another surfer sarcastically.

"Strange, usually some Red Bull vodka and it works out, and then my dad and another friend leave the room," wrote another surfer.

"Everywhere you go, and everything you do ... think first of all how it is likely to affect your children, and take responsibility for your actions. Your children are not guilty, you are guilty of not thinking about them. It does not help that you sit now and cry on TV, since when did you cry? And the sacrifice of people of influence and irresponsibility has become the national sport here? ".

Others behaved in a slightly more forgiving tone towards the youngsters: "No matter how they turn it around, they will live with the shadow of their famous father all their lives. All that is for good and evil. It is up to them to build something new on their own. Like every human being in the world," tweeted a surfer. "I think when he did what he did, he should have thought and said that the girls he was with have a family and there is a whole life ahead of them. He is right that his family is not to blame. He is responsible for his family and therefore should have expected everything he does to have consequences."

"The children never have to pay the price, but what to do that the behavior of their father, who is a public figure, a celeb, a famous singer, also has a price."

"Eyal, basically I'm sure you're a good person, but what happened years ago is an indelible stain, irreversible damage ... You should have seen your idol, one of Israel's greatest singers, Zohar Argov, who did not withstand the pressures of a glorious career."

"Unfortunately 'the best singer in the country' had to think about these children before he does deeds (if he did) ... but agrees not to involve the children in the matter."

"Your children are not to blame, God forbid ... even the girls who passed under your hands and your father. It is sad that the check for stupidity and disgrace should be repaid by the children."

"Eyal Golan is not a bad person, and in my opinion even a good person, but the difficulty of admitting a mistake and apologizing is what stabs him in life and does not clear him of this whole affair. Too bad. He could have come out big and long ago they could forget it."

Meliam Productions said: "The segment in question is a very moving tribute that Golan's children prepared for him after not seeing him for a month during 'Golstar' filming in Brazil about a year ago. Eyal Golan apologized dozens of times for the conduct around him at that time. We reject any attempt to harm and cause injustice For an innocent person who was never charged, the police and the prosecution rarely closed the case in just three months and it was proven that the complainants testified falsely. And yet Eyal Golan was punished in the most severe way that an innocent can be punished. We emphasize that whoever retells the story does an innocent person Crime. "
