  1. Please can you suffice with "right wing" for Itamar Ben-Gvir? You are not the NYT that seeks to tar and libel Ben-Gvir with pejorative descriptions.

    3. That's precisely the problem. He listens to the 'average Joe', instead of using his sechel to rely on the experts.

      The average Joe knows nothing about sensitive topics. Allowing the average Joe to run the security department is פיקוח נפשות ממש!

  3. Realistic?? When the only way Israel can proceed along the way which Ben Gvir would like, is to have the USA and UK deal with the houthis because Israel can't, to have the US finance the IDF down to the last grenade bullet and shell, nowhere in the right wing media are they reporting how many thousands of tons of munitions are being shipped from the US to support Israel, He's more of a theorist since in theory it all sounds good but on the ground they're living on schnorred time. To get real is realizing that you simply do not have the power to do what you would like to, till they kill the every single last Arab man woman and child in gaza the fight will not be over. He has no realistic plan to speak of and no, Jewish blood is not free.

  4. Between Ministers Ben Gvir and Smotrich , they have 14 seats in Knesset. More than MK Gantz or Lapid or Shas or Agudah/UTJ.
    He has more right than others to call on whatever he wants to call (or visit) on
