An extremist Israeli lawmaker in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition publicly advocated for killing “30 to 40” people in Gaza each night, comments that surfaced on Sunday, and were quickly shared by media outlets around the world.

“It’s no secret, I disagree with the prime minister," he said. “I think targeted assassinations should be carried out in Gaza, taking down 30 to 40 every night,” said the far-right Israeli lawmaker.
“Not just those who pose an immediate threat, there are people there who are not worthy of life. They shouldn’t live. They’re not even people,” added Ben-Gvir.
We should expect an increase of such shit as they get closer to their elections. Each pro-apartheid political party will try to position itself with respect to how the regime should perpetuate itself. The more “extremist” ones are going to try to cash in the explicit genocidal discourse of the last three years whereas some of the more “moderate” will try to walk some of it back, to the extent that it threatens the standing of Israeli apartheid with its allies.
The most dangerous ones are I think the pro-war “moderates” that have the air of respectability compared to Netanyahu but are also pushing for escalating war, eg with Turkey. But I might be completely wrong and the “extremist” factions might manage to pull a victory with really unforeseen escalatory results.
Israelis of conscience will be counted in the results of the anti-apartheid parties such as Hadash.
