MK Yair Golan (Meretz) this morning (Thursday) called the settlers in the Chumash outpost "Tati Adam" - and caused a storm.
"People who come and settle a place that is legally evacuated, no one should be there. When I was Judea and Samaria commander, I did not let anyone be there, now they are shouting their cry, how can it be imagined," MK Golan said in an interview on Yaakov's program Ayalon on the Knesset channel.
"We will not mention the fact that the people who settle there are rioting in the village of Burka, destroying tombstones, making a pogrom. We, the Jewish people who have suffered from this all history, come and make a pogrom to others. In the tombstones we abuse? "The Jewish people must not be backed up, they must be forcibly removed from this place, and law and order must be restored to space.

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett responded to Golan's remarks: "His remarks about the settlers in Chumash are shocking, inclusive and bordering on blood libel. Settlement in Judea and Samaria is today's pioneering. 'We did not take foreign land, but the land of our ancestors.'"
Yair Golan's remarks about the settlers in Chumash are shocking, generalizing and bordering on a blood libel.
Settlement in Judea and Samaria is the pioneering of today.
"We did not take foreign land, but the land of our fathers."

Minister of Culture and Sports Hili Trooper also responded to MK Golan's remarks: "I am ashamed of his ugly and unnecessary expression.
No, Chumash settlers are not subhuman, but Israeli citizens who think differently and have deep disagreements with them.
A sub-level in the discourse and in the management of the disputes within us will not advance us, will only dismantle us from within. "
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
