@not_a_charmItamar Ben-Gvir is effectively speedrunning methods to embarrass the nations that back Israel. He advocates for targeted killings in Gaza, asserting that 30 or 40 Palestinians must be removed nightly. These remarks extended beyond militants posing an immediate threat. Ben-Gvir stated clearly that some people in Gaza do not deserve to live. Germany heard this and determined it was excessive. Chancellor Friedrich Merz labeled the comments inhumane. Deputy Lars Klingbeil noted that Germany cannot stay quiet merely because it supports Israel. Sanctions against Ben-Gvir are now under discussion at the European level. Berlin has stood by Israel through much, so getting them to publicly declare a line crossed requires significant effort. Source: DW / Writer: Daniyal
