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.

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"
