How is Ben-Gvir a minister? And how is the US acting like a government that would appoint him as the minister of national security is conducting this war in anything resembling an ethical way?
When he turned 18 and reported for mandatory conscription, the IDF rejected him for being too extreme.
After Yitzhak Rabin signed the Oslo occords, the last best chance for a peaceful resolution to this conflict, Ben-Gvir stole Rabin's hood ornament and brandished it on national television saying something to the effect of "we got his ornament, we can get Rabin". Not long after, an Israeli extremist assasinated Rabin; and with him any hope of peace.
He has since been convicted, by an Israeli court, of supporting a terrorist organization (Kach), and incirement of racism.
That is the man in charge of Israel's national security.
“It is appalling that someone would show up to an emergency room and not receive care – this is inconceivable.”
You keep using that word... I do not think it means what you think it means. This was all predicted as potential outcomes from overturning Roe. It's not even the first time, because this is what things were like before Roe. You know that quote? "Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it." I used to think it was kind of cliché, but it seems to be more and more relevant all the time these days.
WikiLeaks, Snowden fleeing to Russia, Greenwald dialing up the pro-Kremlin talking-points over the years, the call-and-response "Russia, if you're listening," the hand-delivered letter from Trump to Putin by Rand Paul, the 4th of July closed-door Kremlin meeting by Republican congressman, the Trump tower meeting with Natalia Veselnitskaya, the Russian money laundered through the NRA, the strange Russian women amidst right-wing extremist groups. Manafort, Flynn, Stone regurgitating Kremlin talking-points while the Kremlin is telling RT to air as many Tucker Carlson clips as possible, Trump saying he trusts Putin's word against the unprecedented consensus of his own intelligence agencies and advisors, all the while trying to withdraw from NATO that otherwise has bipartisan support. I probably haven't even scratched the surface..
I think I counted a half dozen or so individuals arrested by the FBI in the past year or two trying to offload secrets to Russia.
If anyone hasn't listened to the Ultra podcast regarding the Nazi infiltration of America under the direction of Hitler to sow division under ideological and racial grounds in America, while successfully corrupting many Congressmen at the time... The parallels couldn't be more striking to today.
Extra steps in a sense that they talk about it, pretend they are the good guys and then formalize it via a bogus law. Right now they are just doing it de facto without acknowledging it.
