Ben-Gvir Just EXPOSED What Netanyahu Was Secretly Protecting
Right, so Itamar Ben-Gvir appeared on former Israeli hostage Rom Braslavski's podcast to complain that Netanyahu had reduced strikes in Gaza under the ceasefire. He of course wanted the strikes ramped up again, to no surprise whatsoever, but while explaining his reasoning, he managed to undermine his own security justification in a single sentence, leaving Netanyahu holding the burnt remains of what he was trying to promote by way of another Israel led Gaza deal to the world. The word to pay attention to here is "targeted". Because that word lasts about as long as a snowball in the Sahara. Thirty or forty every night. You may have heard that call elsewhere in independent media, but just keep that number in mind for a moment, because what follows takes hold of his argument, stuffs it in a cannon, and fires it straight into the Sun. According to the legal framework set by Israel's own High Court, that is supposed to mean an individually identified person, based on solid and verifiable information, who is directly taking part in hostilities. Less harmful options should be used if possible, and each strike must meet necessity and proportionality on its own facts. At least, that's the official story. Ben-Gvir starts with a nightly number, then says those killed do not even have to pose an immediate danger. What he is doing is swapping an individual, case-by-case test for a quota and his own judgment about who should live and who should die instead.
