Fanya Oz-Salzberger, the eldest daughter of the late author Amos Oz, wrote a long post on Facebook in which she responds to allegations made by her writer sister Galia Oz against their father and mother in the autobiographical book "Something Disguised as Love" and in media interviews.
In a book about her childhood and her relationship with her father Galia she claimed that her father treated her with physical and verbal violence and described a "routine of sadistic abuse".
"Something that impersonates the truth: my reaction to Galia Oz's book," her face opened the post.
She raises the possibility that some of her friends will stop supporting her after the response post, adding: “Many will be hanged in this post, or in fragments of sentences from it, to continue calling us victims of the victim, family junta, collaborators and eunuchs.
To be read.
It will be very difficult to injure us more deeply than Galia has injured us in the last ten years. "
Her face confirms in the post a violent incident that Galia described in her book in which Amos Oz removed her from the house by dragging stairs and cursed her with the word" filth. "
I remember her too (...) yes, the dragging on the stairs and the swearing of the 'filth' curse occurred, and it is engraved in my memory almost as in Galia's memory.
Maybe for the same reason: because it was so traumatic.
So unique.
So different from the father we knew, she is 8 years old and I am 11 years old. "
In addition, she believes Galia about her claim in the case where her father poured cold coffee on her. She says: I believe in this hardship for Galia herself and for her dear friend Yossi Tzur. "However, her face claims that" these are the only two cases in which Dad used violence against Galia.
So according to Galia's book, and so according to my memory.
There was no 'routine of sadistic abuse', not even emotional.
"Not 'creative violence', not 'there was terror in the house', not 'difficult events chased each other' and not 'I hid the blue marks behind long sleeves, even in the summer'".

While her face confirms and writes that she believes in these two violent incidents, she claims that her father's descriptions of violence against her mother Nili are incorrect, and that he never hit her.
This is after Nili also denied this last month in a press release.
"Dad did not hit Mom," she wrote.
"There were quarrels between them here and there, some severe, and high above them stretched a peace arbor of deep and spectacular love of life. Until he breathed his last when Mother and I held both his hands."
Her face further notes that in all her childhood years her father slapped her twice, and to her sense the first time was justified after riding a bicycle as a child and leading two or three of her classmates to the road.
The second slap, she said, occurred on Yom Kippur, when she was 13 and came to help her father on his lunch shifts at one of the children's homes on the kibbutz.
"Suddenly one of the members of the kibbutz came and they both whispered at the door. I approached, I was curious, I asked what happened, what happened.

Later in the post, she writes about her parents: "They made a million mistakes on Sunday, with me and Galia, and fewer mistakes - but certainly did - on Monday, with Daniel. And of the three of us, with Galia, disaster struck. Bereavement and failure. Here is one of the most sacred angles of This tragedy: Galia discovered the power of words when she was about the age when Dad discovered the power of words. "
Her face claims that their father "was afraid of her adolescent discoveries. Slowly I saw how the language and body language of both of them changed mutually. "There was no fake love, no control and oppression disguised as love, but true love that stumbles, fails, despairs."

In addition, her face tells of almost a year in which their father lay in intensive care at the gates of justice with screws in the broken neck bones, and she says when he was brought home he lay for several months in a special bed. "So how did he manage to control her and suppress her during that year? How did he pull the strings from the Jerusalem intensive care unit? ? "
In the post she adds her face and writes that after Galia broke away from coaching, she last saw their father in 2014, "a little before or a little after he was first diagnosed with cancer. "He screamed, and mostly cried. Then, in 2015, after the phone call in which I was convicted of spying on her son Alon on his behalf and on Dad's mission, she dumped me.
