Not sure what kind of morals those are, but they definitely do not belong to a truely civilized society.
One of the most hated politicians in Israel
Yet majority in Israel agrees with him. Listen to Giden Levy speaking in 2015 on how Israeli society lives with the occupation https://youtu.be/3EtNFXL_ykg
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich implies he believes that blocking humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip is “justified and moral” even if it causes 2 million civilians to die of hunger, adding however that the international community won’t allow this to happen.
I personally avoid “taking sides” (we have our own problems in Ukraine) in what wikipedia calls the Israel–Hamas war, but this is a full on open call for genocide.
Israel and Hamas are both bastards, but neither wholly represent their respective constituent citizenry, and no group ever deserves starvation or genocide. Not a complicated situation to identify as fucked.
I agree in principle with what you are saying, but this particular statement is very brutal considering this is an official statement from a senior Israeli government leader.
He just represents the will of the majority. Listen to Giden Levy speaking in 2015 on how Israeli society lives with the occupation https://youtu.be/3EtNFXL_ykg
Hamas are reacting to a brutal occupation, they didn’t start this. Per international laws their actions are legal and justified.
He’s Ukrainian, take him back!

take him back!
What does this even mean? I live in Ukraine.
I think they mean Smotrich is Ukrainian. According to Wikipedia he says his ancestors lived there.
Thanks for the clarification, I misunderstood.
Smotrich was born in Golan Heights and never seemed to have lived in Ukraine (and I am guessing he doesn’t speak Ukrainian?).
Why would we “take him back”? :)
And what’s he going to do in Ukraine anyway?
Don’t think he has what it takes to fight the russians.
It’s one thing to demolish Gaza and another thing to fight against a strong, well equipped and deadly enemy.
… that’s fucking insane. Even by Israel’s standards.
No, this is Israel’s standard. Listen to Giden Levy speaking in 2015 on how Israeli society lives with the occupation https://youtu.be/3EtNFXL_ykg
Now what’s that old saying again, “If one person thinks you’re an ass, it’s their problem. If everyone thinks you’re an ass, you probably are an ass”
I always heard it as " if you go around thinking everybody is an asshole it’s probably you who is the problem."
Beelzalel Smotrich, ugh. I can’t fathom the mindset required to keep supporting Israel as it travels this path.
I wish more people would realize that what those in power do to the most disadvantaged among us, they will eventually do to the rest us, should we get in their way.
