As a soldier, Abramovich was severely wounded in the 1973 Yom Kippur War. He suffered burns over most of his body when he tried to pull the members of his crew out of the burning tank that he was driving. He was later awarded a medal for his heroism.

The aforementioned film shows Golan chasing after Abramovich, screaming, “You are a traitor to your people, you piece of garbage! It’s too bad you didn’t burn to death in your tank. … He’s the reason that the soldier [Azaria] is in jail.”

Gal was shocked, and rightly so. It is quite possible that his well-honed senses warned him that Golan had caused enormous damage to the right’s public image and the struggle to obtain the release of Azaria, who is now on trial. As Gal wrote on his Facebook page, “There is a vast chasm separating Amnon Abramovich and me, a C-H-A-S-M. Nevertheless, it disgusts me to see one Jew say to another Jew, ‘It’s too bad that you were only injured in your tank during the Yom Kippur War, and that you weren’t killed.’ There is no place for that. It is inappropriate.”

Suddenly the roles were reversed. From that very moment, Gal himself became a “leftist” and punching bag for the right. A thick shadow was cast over his reliability. He was pummeled on his Facebook page in a campaign led by Golan and his friends. While the online discussion shows that Gal tried to explain why Golan and his friends are actually harming the right-wing cause, no one paid him any attention.
Israeli far-right activist betrayed by his own
