In the video, Ben Gvir points towards what appears to be an active construction site and says the complex will include “viewing chambers where crime victims will be able to come and watch” Palestinians being hanged.

    Most Israelis hate their current government. Their protests were put down pretty viciously though.

    The Likud is using every trick in the book to hold onto power, because they know they don’t have a mandate from the majority. The only way they even got into power in the first place was by unfairly privileging the ultra-orthodox minority in Israel’s electoral system. But a recent constitutional change might have solved that.

      What I have seen is, that all the jews and Israelis living outside of Israel are actually sane (except for the very few politicians who are blackmailed to side with the current Knesset). All people living in Israel are unfortunately brainwashed and blindly support the Knesset.

      Disclaimer: that is just my observation, which might not reflect reality and I am very interested into other perspectives.

        That’s not even true. There were widespread protests in Israel before the government brutally cracked down on them. And the media didn’t cover them very thoroughly even when they were happening.

        It’s kinda hard to be outspoken against the authoritarian regime of the country you live in. Just like we don’t hear much about russian dissidents, but they exist. Most of them in gulags at this point, at least the outspoken ones.

        You’re experiencing survivorship bias.
