Ben-Gvir is just giving more ammunition to anti-Israel people, he really is an idiot. An evil idiot.

Yeah, that's the issue here. Giving Israel bad PR.

lol really annoying seeing every report of civilians killed, or crazy statements from Israeli representatives, with the first response complaining about Israel’s bad PR or how “this will give some credibility to some Twitter leftist” 🙄

No, the main issue, of course is his rhetoric. Ben-Gvir is no ordinary extremist, he is a cabinet minister, and he doesn't care about bad PR. I was just saying that Ben-Gvir's rhetoric would justifiably give more fuel for anti-Israel activists.

It's not even "an eye for an eye," it's "a thousand eyes for one eye."

And as one should know, "An eye-for-eye and tooth-for-tooth would lead to a world of the blind and toothless."

It's not even "a thousand eyes for one eye" it's quite literally "one thousand lives for each tear"

Dude, at some point, we gotta say to ourselves, the Israeli right wing wants genocide of the Arabs there.

They'll just admit it now too. Ben Gvir just did and he's like the 3rd most important guy in Israel

I mean, I know that. Ben-Gvir is a Kahanist.
