Early last month, Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir announced that over 120,000 firearms have been distributed among Jewish settlers in the West Bank since the outbreak of the Gaza war last year.
“Over 120,000 weapons were distributed to eligible citizens, while tens of thousands more received conditional approvals,” he said on his X account.
Literally creating a militia to conquer and settle additional lands.
But <insert western government> has reminded Israel to uphold international law and demanded Israel look into these things. Also Israel has a right to defend itself from Palestinians existing in their own houses on land coveted by Israel.
Ben Gvir is literally a convicted terrorist. Do you have any idea how extreme you have to be for Israel to convict you of being a Zionist terrorist?
He was so rightwing, the IDF excused him from compulsory military service
The fact that he’s now in a position of authority is a huge red flag
Itamar Ben-Gvir was born in Mevaseret Zion. His father was born in Iraqi Kurdistan and worked at a gasoline company and dabbled in writing.[10] His mother was a Kurdish Jewish immigrant who was active in the Irgun as a teenager and was a homemaker. His family was secular, but as a teenager, he adopted religious and radical right-wing views during the First Intifada. He first joined a right-wing youth movement affiliated with Moledet, a party which advocated the expulsion of Arabs out of Israel, and then joined the youth movement of the even more radical Kach and Kahane Chai party, which was designated as a terrorist organization and outlawed by the Israeli government.[12][13] He became youth coordinator of Kach, and claimed that he was detained at the age of 14. When he came of age for conscription into the Israel Defense Forces at 18, he was exempted from service by the IDF due to his extreme-right political background.[14][10]
Ben-Gvir continued to be associated with the Kahanist movement;[15] Otzma Yehudit is considered Kach’s ideological successor.[16] However, when forming the Otzma Yehudit party, he claimed that it would not be a Kach, Kahane Chai or splinter group.[17] He carried out a series of far-right activities that have resulted in dozens of indictments. In a November 2015 interview, he claimed to have been indicted 53 times.[18] In most cases, the charges were thrown out of court.[10] In 2007, however, he was convicted for incitement to racism and supporting a terrorist organization.[19][20] Ben-Gvir has been convicted of at least eight charges.[9]
In the 1990s, he was active in protests against the Oslo Accords. In 1995, Ben-Gvir came to public attention for the first time, when he appeared on television brandishing a Cadillac hood ornament that had been stolen from Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin’s car, and declared: “We got to his car, and we’ll get to him too.” Several weeks later, Rabin was assassinated by right-wing extremist Yigal Amir.[10][21]
Yep, he’s the only reason why Netanyahu is still in charge and he’s made it abundantly clear that he will walk away from that support if there is any kind of ceasefire. He’s a major reason why the genocide is still ongoing, because he wants to wipe out all the Palestinians. The man is pure evil.

Israel also has a right to expand it’s borders. This is all perfectly within Israel’s rights because they need to conquer their neighbors.
Are you surprised?

“National Security” because the inability to expand is a danger, right?
Israel is a big cancer that just wants to expand while killing those around them.
