Candidate for the "Democrats" admits to cynical use of hostage families

A recording of an internal Zoom call of a group of left-wing activists, which we exposed on Monday, is causing a stir after Nava Rozolio, a prominent figure in the protest movement and currently a candidate on the "Democrats" list (a union of Labor and Meretz), is heard revealing the strategy behind the connection to the families of the hostages during the war.

In the exclusive documentation we exposed on the program "Seven with Schlesinger and Bardugo," Rozolio details how the center of national pain was used to promote political messages intended for international eyes, while attempting to portray Israel as being ruled by a regime that is not democratic.

Rozolio described the moves she led, including the famous "unfurled flags" project at the Kaplan protests. According to her, the goal was not only internal-Israeli, but primarily creating an image for foreign media and the international community that the government does not represent the people, while using extreme terms.

Below are Rozolio's full words as revealed in the recording:

"We joined the struggle of the hostage families, we stood by their side, we fought for the return of the hostages everywhere. One of the projects I led was the unfurled flags. These are basically huge banners that were spread over the heads of the protesters at Kaplan, with messages in English, because it was intended for an international audience, it was basically intended for… publication in the international press."

Rozolio added that the messages were designed to show the world that the protesters were "not their government":

"The messages basically say 'We are not our government', or 'You're not our government', or 'Save Israel from Netanyahu', or warnings against harming security, mainly messages in English that would basically show the world that we are not our government, after all in non-democratic or even fascist countries the government does not represent the public."
