Major General Yair Golan on the importance of holding the IDF to scrutiny and account
“Our path was – and will be – one of truth and shouldering responsibility, even if the truth is difficult and the burden of responsibility is a heavy one. We very much believe in the justice of our cause, but not everything we do is just. We are certain of the high level of morality in the IDF as an organization, and we do not ignore exceptions by individuals. We demand from our soldiers the same that we demand of ourselves, and we insist that upstanding behavior and setting an example for everyone become second nature for every commander.” (IDF Deputy Chief of Staff Major General Yair Golan, in a Holocaust Remembrance Day address at Tel Yitzhak Kibbutz, 04/05/2016)
