Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

“A Sane Country Does Not Kill Babies”: Israeli Opposition Leader Condemns Gaza Assault

HeadlineMay 21, 2025

The head of the opposition Israel Democratic Party, Yair Golan, condemned the Netanyahu government’s siege of Gaza during an interview with Israeli public radio Tuesday.

Yair Golan: “Israel is on its way to becoming a pariah state among nations, like South Africa was, if we don’t return to acting like a sane country. And a sane country does not wage war against civilians, does not kill babies as a hobby, and does not give itself the aim of expelling populations.”
