Ben-Gvir came under fire for pushing for additional restrictions on Palestinian freedom of movement in the West Bank after three Israelis were killed in two terror attacks last week.

The United States is in no position to go after Israel on human rights issues given how its army acted in Iraq and Afghanistan, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich (Religious Zionist Party) said.

    He’s not wrong, but that doesn’t give him the moral high ground he thinks it does. He’s still a racist piece of shit.

    Ben-Gvir said:

    My right and that of my wife and my children, to travel on the roads in Judea and Samaria, is more important than the freedom of movement for Arabs.

        Mizrachim (MidEast Jews);vote overwhelmingly right-wing and arguably hate Arabs more than white Jews (Ashkenazim) because they lost everything when they were expelled from Arab lands. This is a Israeli v Arab conflict, not White vs Colored. Please leave your American-centered viewpoints at the door.
