Comments on May Golan, current Israeli Minister for the Advancement of Women's Status and Social Equality
In February, a Tweet of hers was doing the rounds and creating such a noise that several commentators blamed her for contributing to making life more difficult for Jews across the world, as she says what many others would conclude confirms their thoughts about Israel and its dominating ideology. Trying the background revealed many complexities of life in Israel.
From her X account, May Golan posted, if translated using a combination of Google and Yandex:
The mark of Cain is stamped tonight on the foreheads of all those cowardly elected officials who chose at the moment of truth to flee like rabbits from the plenum, in order not to take part in a precedent-setting, democratic and above all just, Zionist and worthy course of war!
Listen carefully, Mr. Fifth Column - Ofer Kasif:
I am proud of the ruins of Gaza!
Let every baby-even in 80 years ' time-tell his grandchildren what the Jews did when they murdered families, raped them and kidnapped civilians!
Not a dove, not an olive branch, just a sword - to behead Sinwar!
Coming from a minister of women's rights and equality, perhaps her concern is more about equality among women within the Jewish or Zionist community, as in
Mizrahi Feminism in Israel
Mizrahi feminism is often described as an intersectional feminism that focuses mainly on the struggle against gender and ethnic oppression.
In the X post, two names need explanation: Ofer Cassif is an Israeli leftwing politician who has opposed the Israeli campaign in Gaza. 'Sinwar' could be Yahya Sinwar, a Palestinian politician and head of Hamas.
Many people commented on her Tweet and some Tweets were probably banned, if they indicated in words anything along the lines of this from March 12 in Dortmund Germany:
Disclaimer: This symbol has been used in Raëlism for years:
The symbol initially used to signify Raëlism was a six-pointed star with a swastika in the centre.[140] Raël stated that this was the symbol he originally saw on the hull of the Elohim's spaceship.[141]
The Israeli Wiki has about the current activity of May Golan
In January 2024, Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu decided to merge the Ministry for the Advancement of Women's Status with the Ministry for Social Equality and appoint Golan to head the ministry to be called the Ministry for Social Equality and the Promotion of Women's Status. When she took office, she claimed that funds transferred by the Ministry to the Arab population actually went to criminal causes.[24]director general of her office, whom she fired upon entering the office, claimed in response that this claim was untrue and that according to professionals, the cessation of the flow of funds constitutes an strategic threat to the State of Israel.[25][26]
The last sentence could be true, or not. One wonders, if May Golan herself is a strategic threat to Israel, given how she uses words that make others use words or bring them to the tip of the tongue or the tip of the pen.
May Flora Golan Badra was born in Tel Aviv, Israel. She is the child of a single Orthodox Jewish mother who made Aliyah from Iraq as a 3-year-old girl as part of Operation Ezra and Nehemiah. She grew up near the old central bus station in South Tel Aviv.[7] She still lives today in South Tel Aviv, with her mother, previously on Mount Zion Street and today in Kfar Shalem.[8]
The operation is named after Ezra and Nehemiah, who led groups of Jews from exile in Babylonia to return to Judea in the 5th century BC, as recorded in the books of the Hebrew Bible that bear their names.
Zionism can be considered as fascism adapted to the conditions of the Middle East and the aspirations for domination of Anglo-American imperialism over that region, Eduardo Vasco writes.
The central thesis of this article is that the State of Israel is a pure imperialist invention to facilitate the domination of Western Asia by the great powers, a domination that can only be exercised throughfascist methods. We seek to prove this thesis by analyzing the history of the Zionist movement from the end of the 19th century to the middle of the 20th century, using as sources the works of some of the greatest scholars on the subject worldwide, many of them Jews.
More background about the rise of May Golan
The English Wiki has:
At the age of 9, Golan was interviewed with her mother as part of a Channel One report on poverty in Israel. They were living on social security in a low-class neighborhood in South Tel Aviv.[9] Following the broadcast, May was contacted by Gila Almagor and her Wish Foundation charity. Identified as a child with potential, she was invited to attend Ironi Dalet High School, located in North Tel Aviv, a higher socioeconomic neighborhood.
Golan attended Bialik Elementary School in south Tel Aviv. At age 9, she was interviewed by her mother on Israeli television's "Look" news, as part of an article on the annual poverty Report. Following the interview, she was invited to a number of television shows and was a guest on "Live with Dan Shilon". Following the broadcast, she was transferred in the middle of fifth grade to A.D. Gordon " uptown. She went on to attend Urban D High School, but in the middle of her first year left school to study extracurricular studies.
Golan did not serve in the IDF, having declared herself religious and received an exemption from conscription. About 8 years later, in November 2012, she said in an interview that she was not religious.[3] In 2023, after public criticism, she published a post in which she wrote that she had been denied service because she needed to care for her mother, and because she was undergoing a process of repentance.[4]
Golan became politically active in 2011, campaigning to raise awareness about the impact of undocumented immigrants from Africa on south Tel Aviv.[10]She became a highly recognisable face in the campaign against the presence of undocumented immigrants in Tel Aviv.[11]
Blumenthal calls her a Kahanist thug. I think that is one step too far, though some of the Kahanist thugs might be in agreement with what she says: About Kahanism there is:
Kahane held the view that most Arabs living in Israel are enemies of Jews and Israel itself, and believed that a Jewish theocratic state, where non-Jews have no voting rights, should be created.[1]
The Kach party has been banned by the Israeli government. In 2004, the U.S. State Department designated it a Foreign Terrorist Organization.[2][3] In 2022, it was removed from the U.S. terror blacklist due to "insufficient evidence" of the group's ongoing activity, but it remains a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) entity.[4]
A few years later she appeared on ILTV Israel News, in May Golan, Conservative activist & CEO of Hebrew City - Oct. 25, 2017, and explained what she was unhappy about, which was an influx of migrants from Africa seeking jobs, mainly from Eritrea, but she would accept people who are genuinely in need of help.
May Golan Hebrew City NGO Report about Shameless Jewish Slum Lords endangering other Jews for profit !!!- who don't live in South Tel Aviv - but buy properties in South Tel Aviv to rent out to illegal infiltrators, causing suffering and endangering the Jewish citizens by their actions - both by over crowding apartments with up to 20 people, allowing illegal bars to operate in residential apartment buildings whose drunk customers intimidate, attack and terrorize Jewish residents who live in the other apartments. SHAME ON THEM AND ANYONE THAT SITS BACK AND IGNORES THIS ISSUE !!!! May Golan Hebrew City NGO again brings these crimes to the attention of the media, who attack and blame her for doing so ....
Is her protest against immigration any different from what can be found in other countries? Do not people like May Golan have parallels there? Are they all unjustified? What about the Irish, the Swedish, the French, the Dutch, the Germans, and people in the US opposing mass migration into their countries?
Excerpts from an interview with May Golan conducted by Daniel Roth-Avnery published in Israel Hayom in December 2021
There is a translation of the interview on Newsrnd, but a fresh machine translation, using a combination of Yandex and Google, of the original in Hebrew from Israel Hayom gives a more fluid text. Before getting to that the Wiki has
details:
Israel Hayom (Hebrew: יִשְׂרָאֵל הַיּוֹם, lit. 'Israel Today') is an Israeli national Hebrew-languagefree daily newspaper. Distributed for free around Israel,[6] it is the country's most widely distributed newspaper.[7][2]Owned by the family of Sheldon Adelson, a personal friend and benefactor of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel Hayom has often been criticized for portraying Netanyahu in an overly positive light.[8] In turn, Netanyahu has been accused of attempting to benefit Adelson's investments.[9][10]
The family of Sheldon Adelson the owner of Israel Hayom where the interview with May Golan was published
Sheldon Adelson passed away in 2021, leaving his wife, Miriam Adelson a substantial inheritance.
Early life and medical career[edit]
Adelson was born Miriam Farbstein in Tel Aviv, Mandatory Palestine in 1945[1] to parents who fled Poland before the Holocaust. Her father was a prominent member of Mapam, a left-wing political party in Israel. In the 1950s, her family settled in Haifa,[12] where Adelson's father owned and operated several movie theaters.[13]
In response to the October 7th, 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel, Adelson published an Op-Ed in Forbes Israel, entitled "Dead to Us". Referring to wave of Pro-Palestinian protests occurring across various western cities and countries, Adelson stated that "Those ghastly gatherings of radical Muslim and Black Lives Matter activists, ultra-progressives and career agitators were nothing short of street parties. These people are not our critics. They are our enemies, the ideological enablers in the West of those who would go to any length to eradicate us from the Middle East. And, as such, they should be dead to us".[29]
She has written that Trump "should enjoy sweeping support" among U.S. Jews and Israelis, and that Trump deserves a "Book of Trump" in the Bible due to his support for Israel.[31][32][30] She pushed for the pardon of Aviem Sella who spied against America.[33] Adelson wrote that Trump represents "kinship, friendship, courage, the triumph of truth" and that "Israelis and proud Jews owe Donald Trump our gratitude."[34]
Early in the interview, we learn how the journalist and politician came to know each other, and looking up the travel Wiki for Tel Aviv gives the information, that the North of Tel Aviv is the newest and most wealthy part of the town. In other words, May Golan came from a poor area, and the school she was transferred to after the TV shows, was located in a wealthy area.
We were 12, two girls who came from opposite ends of Tel Aviv - she from the south of the city and I from the north - and we amazed the environment by connecting us. We met on the dance floor at the bat mitzvah of a mutual friend, and we immediately had a friendship that lasted a year and was filled with laughter and joy.
We both learned how cruel children can be. May was suffering from a boycott, and I was far from the queen of the class, and we soon found with each other the accommodating and supportive place we were looking for. No wonder that upon entering the Knesset, Golan introduced a bill to prevent shaming and social boycott in schools and online.
At the end of a memorable night at a sleepover at my house, just before the lights went out, May said it was fun not to have 'people with syringes' on the stairs of the house, as she does in a building at the Central Station. I also vividly remember a girl who was never afraid to speak her mind out loud to right wrongs. That's why I wasn't surprised when she became a member of Parliament.
In the interview, May Golan presents herself as being independent in her thinking. Is it true, or does she just promote herself?
From the interview:
Hope you came without an entourage.
'I can't change. I won't come to an interview with someone who will separate or rule me, make me a state. If I don't be who I am, my audience will pick up in a second. I'm Mai Golan from the neighborhood, the daughter of a single mother, and I believe that goodness and truth must prevail. I have my own style, and I will not be a politician of the breed that I am being shaped to be. If anything, I will be a politician of the new breed. Not fake and not pretentious. I am the mother of the non-politically correct, and I am proud of it.'
Not long ago, a resident of Rishon Lezion called you"Moroccan garbage." Is the demon still here?
"Of course he's here. Anyone who tries to bury their head in the sand and say it doesn't exist is either contributing to the issue or a coward. And why? Because countless racist comments can't be ignored. It is impossible to ignore certain preferences and those who pull the strings and run the show in the archaic and elitist legal bureaucracy.
To the above, one could say that since her mother is from Iraq, she would be a Mizrahi, or Oriental Jew, not a person from distant lands. This would explain Golan having been called "Moroccan garbage." The Wiki about Mizrahi Jews has:
Her view of the Israeli state
She has an interesting point of view about the state, which no matter what one may think of her otherwise, may have some truth to it:
"There are three authorities in the country today: the legislative branch is the judicial branch, the executive branch is associations and left-wing parties, and the judiciary is the media.
"This is a detached junta, from which everything can and should be done so that the masses of the other color do not accidentally multiply and do not take over the country here. But unfortunately for them, we finished lowering our heads and we finished apologizing and we finished playing the game by their rules, which they told our parents how to play. This time we make the rules, and the rules will no longer be at their convenience."
When I read the above, the question arose if May Golan has made discoveries similar to Lis Truss?
Former Prime Minister Liz Truss: Britain’s Democratic Process Has Been ‘Outsourced’ | TEASER
[CLIP] Former Prime Minister Liz Truss: Britain’s Democratic Process Has Been ‘Outsourced’
(The above channel does not seem to have published the full interview, the [CLIP] is all I could find.
Nevertheless, Golan comes across as a genuine supporter of Netanyahu. Here is the section in the interview about Netanyahu:
To you, isn't there any aspect of Netanyahu's conduct wrong? All the criticism against him comes only from hatred of him?
"Netanyahu was not wrong anywhere. The only thing he got wrong, if anything, was the amount of hatred and jealousy and personal boycotts on the part of the people he raised, helped and mentored. People who turned on him.
"What Naftali Bennett did will be remembered forever. It is the most vile, despicable and ugly act that can make a politician who still claims to be a values right-winger, and he will be remembered as the ugliest stain on the history of the national camp. Netanyahu has led a country in such a successful way, at a level that we should say thank you to him."
Are you following his trial? Nir Heifetz testimony?
"I will sum you up in a sentence, without an ounce of populism and demagoguery, from the depths of my soul: This is one of the most dangerous and corrupt cases seen here in Israel. What is happening with the made-up and lame Netanyahu files is a dark and dangerous dictatorial attempt not only to topple a sitting prime minister, butto topple an entire camp."
Do you know the Netanyahu family?
"I'll start with a job. I've watched this woman for many years, and I could easily fall into the disinformation of the media and think this is a nasty, scary woman. For the past two years I have had the privilege of knowing her, and she is the reason that today, more than ever, I no longer believe the media. She's a completely opposite person to what they described."
What's important? Make a noise that will impress Likud officials and serve you in the next primaries, in which you will no longer be able to run for the youth slot?
"You can't say I'm a demagogue or a populist. I work from the soul. The Lord put me here. I don't see any privilege in sitting still. I am not prepared to play a phony, hypocritical, false and pathetic state game of the left. To be said to be enthusiastic and loud. I'm not going to change myself in a gram.
"I represent the weakest voice in Israeli society, and when I cry, I cry out for their voice. When I go to the supermarket, or drive a car, older women stop and kiss me in tears, telling me that they kiss the TV when they see me, because 'you speak for us'. So who will take this truth from them?"
By having May Golan in his government, Netanyahu probably draws in support from the poorer Jewish-Israeli population. These voters can identify with someone who came from a disadvantaged section of Tel Aviv, and worked hard for years to speak up for an area where wealthy Israelis raked in rents from immigrants living in substandard housing conditions. Now very conveniently, her combative spirit and aggressive speeches are put to use to shore up support for what Netanyahu has set out to achieve with Gaza and the Palestinians. That is hardly healthy. On the other hand, her fire and spontaneity, as it came out in the Tweet, quoted in the beginning may reveal more clearly to observers what is going on. That insight is perhaps a gift to them even if not necessarily an advantage to the people she claims to represent.
Here we have a visual bridge from World War 2 Nazis to present day Mossad and Zionists. Is Netanyahu the current iteration of Hitler, who consciously aligned with dark forces as a child?
Q: (L) Why was Hitler so determined, beyond all reason, even to his own self-destruction, to annihilate the Jews?
A: Many reasons and very complex. But, remember, while still a child, Hitler made a conscious choice to align himself with the "forces of darkness," in order to fulfill his desires for conquest and to unite the Germanic peoples. Henceforth, he was totally controlled, mind, body, and soul, by STS forces.
NATO's bombardment of Yugoslavia in 1999 was justified in the name of 'ideological and humanitarian reasons'. But now not a peep out of NATO or the West against the Gaza Genocide - hypocrisy on parade.

The current war in Ukraine – the biggest since World War Two – can be attributed to NATO’s relentless expansion towards Russia’s borders over the past 25 years. Washington and its Western partners claim to be defending democracy, human rights and international law in Ukraine against alleged Russian aggression. This Western narrative ignores the reality that the US and its NATO partners have militarized a NeoNazi regime in Ukraine for at least eight years before the current conflict erupted on February 24, 2022.
Daniel Kovalik concludes with a devastating argument: if the United States and its NATO allies are so concerned by humanitarian principles and democracy then why are they not intervening to stop the genocide in Gaza against Palestinians? Over 30,000 people – mainly women and children – have been killed by Israeli military offensive. Far from intervening to protect civilians from Israeli slaughter and starvation, the United States and its NATO partners are fully complicit in supporting Israeli war crimes – militarily, politically and diplomatically.
Western “humanitarian intervention” so readily embarked on elsewhere is exposed as a grotesque fraud to cover for US imperialist crimes.
[...] after reading Bill S 6 86 (Restrict Bill or TikTok Ban Bill) it becomes evident that goes beyond restricting the use of TikTok. The US government could effectively ban anything they deem inappropriate without warning, from shutting down mass communication methods to reading personal emails, and even using home surveillance cameras to spy on US citizens.
The bill gives the federal government the power to monitor any activity used by suspicious devices with an Internet connection, virtual or otherwise: Modems, routers, home cameras, and even VPNs. The ban and censorship would be extended to technology made or used by "foreign adversaries":
[...](8) FOREIGN ADVERSARY. (A) means any foreign government or regime, determined by the Secretary, pursuant to sections 3 and 5, to have engaged in a long-term pattern or serious instances of conduct significantly adverse to the national security of the United States or the security and safety of United States persons; and
(B) includes, unless removed by the Secretary pursuant to section 6—
(i) the People’s Republic of China, including the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and Macao Special Administrative Region;
(ii) the Republic of Cuba;
(iii) the Islamic Republic of Iran;
(iv) the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea;
(v) the Russian Federation; and
(vi) the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela under the regime of Nicolás Maduro Moros.
(9) HOLDING.—The term “holding”—
(A) means—
(i) an equity interest;
(ii) a stock;
(iii) a security;
(iv) a share;
(v) a partnership interest;
(vi) an interest in a limited liability company;
(vii) a membership interest; or
(viii) any participation, right, or other equivalent, however designated and of any character; and
(B) includes, without limitation, any security convertible into an ownership interest and right, warrant, or option to acquire ownership interests.
For example, using VPNs to bypass banned apps such as TikTok would be considered a criminal act, with penalties ranging from a minimum of 20 years in prison and a minimum fine of $250,000 to $1,000,000 if you knowingly accessed banned content.
Monitoring, censorship, and even criminal charges would apply to US citizens that use this technology to contact and deal with foreign adversaries.
The president would also appoint a communications secretary, who would form a group of his own that could meet behind closed doors and have no obligation to disclose anything. They could ban anything they deemed inappropriate or a security risk at any time, and they could spy on US citizens quite thoroughly.
What is happening with TkTk helps us to understand what is happening with the measures that are being taken before the presidential election of that country, especially when the ideological criteria and manipulation influence users ( USA 143 million users) mostly young people who are manipulable instruments.
These totalitarian practices now benefit a foreign country China, so this law is a hypocritical measure because if espionage is valid for the United States in Europe and the world (google, microsoft, meta., etc.) why Chinese espionage is not valid in the United States(?). Now, I don't know if there is legal proof of the mentioned Chinese espionage.
The idea of TkTk is "stealable" and suitable for those who want to use these users in a new platform doing just what is criticized to the Chinese, an application structure where you can better control the finances, information and of course the dissent in social networks (X ?). So we also see the beginning the witch hunt or dissidents who do not pass jump through hoops for the single thought and propaganda. We are approaching the legality of the "Ministry of Truth".
Israel's online smear campaign against UNRWA through hundreds of fake social media accounts, AI to promote its "interests" in delivering aid to Palestinians and addressing the famine in Gaza, is being contained by the intervention of numerous clans, civil society groups and factions - including Hamas' secular political rival, Fatah, in providing aid and security for convoys.
Palestinian clans and factions step in to protect Gaza aid, sources say
CAIRO: Armed and masked men from an array of clans and factions have started providing security for aid convoys in Gaza as Hamas tries to keep its clout in the enclave, Palestinian officials and sources in the militant group say.
(...)“Israel’s plan to find some clans to collaborate with its pilot projects of finding an alternative to Hamas didn’t succeed but it also showed that Palestinian resistance factions are the only ones who can run the show, in one way or another,” said a Palestinian official who asked not to be named.
Israel's war on Gaza, and its objective to eliminate Hamas, has made it risky for anyone associated with the group to provide security for aid deliveries into the enclave. An Israeli military spokesperson declined comment, saying specific rules of engagement in an active war zone could not be publicly discussed.
A network of websites and fake social media accounts have sought to spread false news linking UNRWA to the 7 October Hamas attack among US progressives
The US resolution for "immediate ceasefire" is in favor of Israel, because it would make Hamas' ceasefire proposal null and void, which means that it wouldn't stop ethnic cleansing in Gaza permanently. Actually, the US is proposing Israel's proposal at UNSC.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says Washington has submitted a draft resolution to the UN Security Council that calls for “an immediate ceasefire" in the Gaza Strip.
www.presstv.ir
[...] During the past almost six months, the US has vetoed three draft resolutions calling for an immediate ceasefire in the Israeli offensive, which has so far killed at least 31,923 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 74,096 others.
A senior Hamas official says the resistance group showed “flexibility” in formulating its latest proposal for a Gaza ceasefire, but Israel provided a “negative” response to the offer.
This is very hard to see and demonstrates a high degree of malice
Harsh scenes of Zionist army drones bombing Palestinian civilians, totally unarmed and even kneeling down begging for their lives, in the streets of Khan Yunis, south of Gaza.
Every day Palestinians are killed in the most horrific and violent ways in a multitude of crimes against humanity while the so-called "international community" looks the other way and does not impose a single economic sanction on "Israel".
I feel literally chocked
by these two videos. Not even sure how to put that feeling in words anymore - because it is so beyond evil... so unspeakable wicked...
Yet so powerful, that everyone outside in this world - increasingly understands that this - has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with "justified revenge".
Well Dear Israel, see your image just about to become obliterated. And you brought this all on yourself.
After Russia and China exercised their right of veto in the UN Security Council and blocked a draft resolution on the Middle East submitted by the United States. Because , the text does not contain a corresponding demand or appeal.
In addition to Russia and China, Algeria opposed the document. Guyana abstained. South Korea, Ecuador, France, Japan, Malta, Mozambique, Slovenia, Sierra Leone, Switzerland, South Korea, Sierra Leone, Slovenia, the United Kingdom and the United States voted in favor.

It seems that the US government better refrain from voting in favor of a ceasefire, experience says that Israel has the means to convince the world that Hamas or ISIS can attack anywhere.
By now the world should be wondering why ISIS does not attack Israel.
