Actress Chali Goldenberg caused a stir during a morning television appearance on Channel 13's "Ptamim Yom" program with controversial remarks about the ongoing war. Goldenberg stated that current events are a "result of the occupation," citing religious extremism, "Jewish terrorism," and arrogance. She drew parallels to apartheid in South Africa and referenced Yitzhak Shamir's bombing of the King David Hotel, asserting, "A minority has the right to fight for its freedom."
Goldenberg, who described herself as a "great patriot," also shared her personal experience cleaning homes in Gaza border communities that had been attacked by terrorists. She expressed disappointment with the country's direction, comparing it to a child deviating from parental upbringing.
Hosts Elad Zohar and Yarden Harel challenged her statements. Harel found the assertion about a minority's right to fight difficult to hear, while Zohar noted the country was still wounded by the actions of that minority. The situation took an unexpected turn when Goldenberg, apparently unaware she was live, asked if the conversation had been broadcast. Upon realizing her remarks were aired, she expressed shock and anger, stating she believed they were off-air and that she was leaving the program.
Goldenberg's comments, particularly her justification of a minority's right to fight, generated significant controversy. The hosts' reactions highlighted the sensitive nature of her statements during a period of national mourning and conflict.
