On video: Demonstrators interrupted Defense Minister Galant's speech, Yoram Gaon intervened/Arab News, here 11
The winner of the Israel Prize, the singer Yehoram Gaon, attacked former Deputy Chief of Staff and former Knesset member Yair Golan on his Facebook account after he claimed last week that "the IDF should educate the children of religious Zionism".
"Yair Golan, who was the Deputy Chief of Staff, said that the IDF should re-educate religious Zionism," Gaon wrote.
"This phrase 're-education' is a scary phrase that reeks of dictatorship. The regime in Beijing, for example, imprisons more than a million Muslims in 're-education' camps. Russia held six thousand Ukrainian children in camps and facilities whose purpose was re-education. It is an inappropriate phrase, which Lt. A former chief of staff who led soldiers into battle, soldiers from all parts of the country, soldiers from all denominations and sects, religious and secular, who followed him with fire and water, he should have been careful."

"The former deputy chief of staff didn't ask many questions on the seventh of October, and jumped with a weapon into the war zone to rescue his brother," he added.
Because everyone who didn't like him in the days of the demonstrations before the Bitter Seventh, which cut us all in half, said in his soul, 'Here is a hero who ran to save Jews in their trouble', today, when we are still on the seventh of October, the former Deputy Chief of Staff returns to the days of that rupture and returns to crack the ground on it We are now fighting for our lives, which is a very unfortunate and disappointing thing."
As you may recall, last week Golan said that "the IDF should educate religious Zionism about democracy and liberalism and go through a 'correction campaign' within the army because of the extreme nationalist education that the members of the knitted caps undergo in their educational institutions.
What needs to happen is to recognize that a great many religious Zionists, some of whom received an extreme nationalist education, will receive a reformation campaign within the IDF. If we want to deal with building the future generation, the IDF must provide every soldier and female soldier with education for democratic citizenship, for liberal citizenship, for citizenship that is compatible with a state In the third millennium.
very simple".
