It might not even be the worst thing he said in that podcast:

> are people there who are not worthy of life. They shouldn’t live. They’re not even people,” Ben-Gvir added while calling for the targeted killings of Palestinians in Gaza.

I often hear that members of the current Israeli govt say much more horrific things in Hebrew than what they say in English that gets picked up in Western media. Since this clip got shared widely I assumed that perhaps it was in English but after checking, I can see that it's not. I think it's getting increasingly trivial to translate media which might contribute to surfacing more of these quotes and a deepened collapse in global support for this current government.

At some point even Republicans will begin to think the IDF are the bad guys.

According to prophesy (in Revelations?), certain events will transpire to make way for the Second Coming. The Third Temple is part of the narrative, as is the matter of a red heiffer.

Most republicans I know personally are anti-Israel. Anecdotal, and all that, but it seems the tides are shifting.

Israel was founded by literal terrorists. Please, look it up.

The U.S. was founded by literal terrorists.

Almost all freedom fighters who used any amount of violence would definitionally be terrorists.

That has absolutely no bearing on countries today and applying the terrorist standard of today to people from before the post WW2 era when so many democracies and nation states were created makes little sense.

Fuck Ben-Gvir and this government. Sorry for the language, but it's appropriate in this case. This government is a bunch of fascist, massistic, corrupt, and depraved bunch of lunatics. It's our luck as Israeli citizens that they're also incompetent or we'd have no chance of overthrowing them. Come elections in 2 months, we'll kick these assholes out of office.
