2. " Crimes against Palestinians will just legitimize the terrorist organizations in Palestine. "

For sure , and nobody is better at crimes against the Palestinians than our religious far Right .

But this is about us and our upcoming elections and how the media gives them air space .

Mainly its about a satirical political hugely popular TV program called Eretz Nehederet.

Here is a blog post from a liberal centeralist who thinks we on the Left have no sense of humour and
take Ben-Gvir and his ally the fanatical Bezalel Smotrich far too seriously .

Its not a bad post , he gets his facts right .

Especially this one :

Quote

And for those who have forgotten, Ben-Gvir was a central activist in the hysterical incitement campaign that led to the 1995 murder of Yitzhak Rabin, is an admirer of the mass murderer Baruch Goldstein, and was a follower of Rabbi Meir Kahane, who called for expelling the Arabs from the Land of Israel.

Another quote :
This has normalized Ben Gvir to the point where his party threatens to become the third largest in the Knesset, and, if Netanyahu wins the election in November, it will also probably set the tone for the next government and bring Israel that much closer to civil war. And there’s nothing funny about that.


Kind of contradicts himself
