@MishehooA@HenMazzig On that point of “he’d never add them if he had majority without them”, maybe the question is why he doesn’t have one without them and why they thought his Gov was worth going into… He isn’t hard done by!
@MishehooA@HenMazzig They gave leeway by accepting the cost.
He is using it to his advantage, but his (in)action on West Bank terror eg advances their goal on preventing Palestinian state.
Netanyahu even voted for his death penalty law and didn’t condemn egregious birthday cake! Highly aligned
@MishehooA@HenMazzig Not saying not to talk about this event
Rather that the issue shouldn’t be narrowed to Ben Gvir and flotilla crews re “performative justice”
Should be taken in its wider context of West Bank terror, Jerusalem repression & space Ben Gvir is given to manoeuvre in his sphere.
@MishehooA@HenMazzig Read that and put it into its wider context that makes obvious they are obfuscating on the fact he’s in their Government and acting with the leeway it affords him.
@MishehooA@HenMazzig Per this earlier reply, he can’t be condemning him, but rather obfuscating on fact he used him to stay in power and gave him leeway needed to do so. Back when he was able to potentially collapse it with Smotrich.
@aj_d___@HenMazzig This is the downside of Proportional Representation.
When you get a man that will sell the country to be the PM, this is what you get.
Not just the far right, but the hardi jews, are all blackmailing till their heart content, knowing the PM's priorities.
@MishehooA@HenMazzig The scene in the West Bank that this Israeli Gov is doing nothing to curb. The scenes in Jerusalem where Israeli’s were attacked for backing Palestinian’s.
The flotilla is a snapshot into the underlying issues common to all of the above.
@MishehooA@HenMazzig The original tweet makes that point for you.
The flotilla is cast as the main issue at hand, when the issue is what Israel’s policies in Palestine look like there and at home.
How is Israeli society being shaped by what its current Gov is pursuing outwith.
@MishehooA@HenMazzig They are. But that accentuates the point further that the flotilla is an aside to the main issues at hand. Namely the question of Palestine for this Israeli Gov & the domestic scene they’re pursuing in tandem with it
@MishehooA@HenMazzig Ben Gvir feeds primarily off the space he is afforded within top echelons of Israeli politics.
The flotilla is an aside to the battle ground Ben Gvir pursues with Palestinian’s.
@MishehooA@HenMazzig Yes. Just meant it goes beyond “Ben Gvir and his ilk”, as many including Saar rush to claim it isn’t. Hen’s attempt to say Gvir and Flotilla deserve each other doesn’t help accentuating the above.
@MishehooA@HenMazzig What about those who empowered Smotrich and Ben Gvir to the positions they’re in, with the leeway they have?
They don’t exist in a vacuum; main difference is they don’t keep up any pretensions…
@HenMazzig If you’re really condemning it, why not condemn the fact they weren’t stopped?
Or keeping up narrative it’s “radical Israeli’s” acting in isolation?
@HenMazzig Will you also tweet about the Kahanist youths doing this in Jerusalem? Attacking Israeli’s protecting Palestinian’s and others giving tours of West Bank…
הסרטון הזה מרגש אותי: מי שמלווים את הנזירה תושבת העיר העתיקה בירושלים, מול צעקות והתלהמות של נערים ההתנחלויות, הם סאלי עבד ואמין אמארה. הם שניהם פלסטינים אזרחי ישראל, חברי הנהגת תנועת עומדים ביחד ותושבי הצפון, שהחליטו לבוא ולעמוד בלב מצעד השנאה כדי להגן על הקהילה המקומית. אומץ.
@HenMazzig It doesn’t but nor does it look like your tweet narrowing it to “radical Israeli’s”.
The below & Israel’s Foreign Minister defending Daniella Weiss calling for annexation of Gaza, West Bank and Lebanon speak to that!
אתמול בלילה מגיע המתנחל אלישיב נחום לכפר הפלסטיני טיראן שבדרום הר חברון מלווה בחיילים.
כדי לאיים על פעילים של נוכחות מגינה. מסיבה מובנת, בלעדיהם הטרור שהוא מפעיל על הקהילה לא היה מתועד.
בתמונה אפשר לראות איך מתנחל טרוריסט עומד כתף אל כתף עם החיילים בהטרדה של הפעילים
@seferbamidbar@paulrubens@faniaoz Israeli’s elected the Government that appointed him as “a leader of the revolution”… That enables him to operate with minimal constraints.
The conflict has produced destructive politics on both sides but Palestinians didn’t “create Smotrich” no.
@seferbamidbar@paulrubens@faniaoz No they didn’t. Smotrich comes after many decades of Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but it’s Israeli’s who have allowed his vision of Kahanist politics to get to where it has…
