From Terrorist Backer to Kingmaker: Itamar Ben-Gvir & Israeli Far Right Help Netanyahu Regain Power
Benjamin Netanyahu is set to return as Israel’s prime minister, with Tuesday’s election results showing his Likud Party and far-right allies winning enough seats to form a parliamentary majority. This includes far-right lawmaker Itamar Ben-Gvir, who openly supports the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, vows to crack down on the LGBTQ community and was once convicted of racist incitement against Arabs. “This is going to be a whole new level of power for the extreme right in the government,” says Natasha Roth-Rowland, editor and writer at +972 Magazine, who studies right-wing Jewish extremism.

Dear Democracy Now,,, Your undertone is HEAVILY Anti Israel 🇮🇱,,, Although The Israeli Government has policies that deserve criticism,,, but in the overall equation of the Middle East, (knowing the hegemonic attitude of Religion of Isl am,,) that the ONLY way to live, I mean staying Alive, for any None Mu slim is through Strength,,, otherwise, ANY NoneMu slim, MUST either be Subjugated or forced into exile. So, please tell me, you guys as a “progressive” force in our Nation, aren’t you ashamed of this Ignoranatic attitude?? I am sick and tired of tuning in to your program to hear some “fair and non propaganda” news, instead, in in your first few sentences I feel sick of hearing what l would normally hear from the Is lamic “Republic” of Iran’s news agencies!!?? Shame on you, you should look at both sides of this mess,, Gaza was turned into a Palestinian State many years ago (in Fact a two State “Solution” was implemented) did Israel get a Good Neighbor out of it??? No, they got a Murderous Regime, that along with the Mullahs of Islamic “Republic” of Iran, would love to wipe Israel from the face of the earth,,, what do you have to say about that???😔😔🕊🕊

Wow, Bibi won. The sky must be falling down. The world is being destroyed. NOT.
Zionism vs Islamism/Wahhabism, the two great evils
The anchor looks like she's about to head to the mortuary!

Shrills.
Piece of crap… Need to get flushed permanently
Israelis should not blame anyone but themselves for what’s coming to them for electing people like that. That’s who you are 🇮🇱 = apartheid
Hypocrite America punished Palestinians because they voted Hamas, but sleepy Biden in the same time called Jewish extremist Natanyahu to congratulate him for being elected along with his jewish supremacist allies. No credibility left what so ever. that is why most Arabs support Russia today.
So much disinformation and Bias.
God bless Ben Gvir
Don’t compare Trump to these guys Trump the best in comparison
Terrorists
great to know this Ben-Givir!!
And they want to call Kanye West and Kyrie Irving anti-Semitic when it fully documented that Israel is a racist State towards black people and Palestinian
Crimes State IsReal
please radical left- tell them about Palestinian terror organization that dream every day to kill every Israeli citizen to receive 72 male virgins
SHAME ON YOU NAZISTS.
You were misinformed both about past and the present.
Ben Gvir wants to fight terror and illegal activities
He is devotes to human rights for all
And had worked as a lawyer to help people that were victimized by the system
As if Palestinians have not suffered enough! Even Darker Times are ahead for Palestine, Gaza(an open air prison of 2milliion) and the continued illegal land grabs by so called settlers in the West Bank! Israel had chosen it's snake. A man who's skills are deceit, deception and usury! Israel has embraced the Synagogue of Satan, the beast will feast on the banquet of despair created by Israel!
Shalom
Amen
Let's be fair. Doesn't anyone understand that the Saudis and Iran have been calling for destruction of Israel for decades. I was in Saudi in 2001 and heard a Saudi official give a speech in English saying "Israel must destroyed. The Jews must be driven into the sea " I do not condone persecution of Muslims or Arabs, but think it needs to be recognized that there are forces that favor extermination of Jews and destruction of Israel. Kahane and Kach are unfortunate reactions to real anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism. 🕎
I like Benjamin Netanyahu
I like Israel🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
So sad to see racist thugs still playing everyone.
Ethnic cleansing has no place in this 21st Century, sad.
This man is an avowed racist. How can the United States back such cruel people?
Get some education lady. "illegal settlements" my ass. San Remo declaration, mandate for Palestine. All in international law. All of the territories that Israel controls are sovereign lands.
Not just Gaza, but the whole notion of a palestinian people is a HOAX, that the whole w
orld bought in its infinite stupidity! This is nor about setting up a palestinian state, and it
never was! This is about destroying Israel! THAT is the everlasting dream of all arab co
untries! Here is something you might find interesting: it's a few arab leaders clearly conf
irming the palestinians don't really exists. Feel free to pass it on and repost it.1. One of t
he central spokesman of the "palestinians", a member of P.L.O. leadership, Zahir Muhse
in, the leader of the al-Sa'iqa Organization, revealed the truth in an interview to the Dutc
h newspaper Trouw: "The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinia
n state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab
unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians an
d Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existenc
e of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existenc
e of a distinct 'Palestinian people' to oppose Zionism for tactical reasons, Jordan, which
is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa. While a
s a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. How
ever, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute
to unite Palestine and Jordan."2. In 1974, the late Syrian President, Hafez al-Assad, decl
ared: "It would be fitting for us to mention to the responsible Israeli authorities that we
view Palestine not just as an inseparable part of the Arab nation, but as a part of Souther
n Syria." In 1987, he reiterated himself at a conference in Amman, "A country named 'P
alestine' has never existed." Jordanian King Hussein responded, "The appearance of the
national Palestinian persona serves as a response to Israel's claim that Palestine is Jewis
h."3. Arafat in 1970, with candid simplicity, told the reporter Arianna Palazzi: "The ques
tion of borders doesn't interest us… From the Arab standpoint, we mustn't talk about bor
ders. Palestine is nothing but a drop in an enormous ocean. Our nation is the Arabic nati
on that stretches from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea and beyond it….. The P.L.O. is
fighting Israel in the name of Pan-Arabism. What you call "Jordan" is nothing more tha
n Palestine."Are you in shock? If the Palestinian People does not exist, what does exist?
Arabs who live in Israel and who have disguised themselves as "Palestinians" for FRUD
ULENT purposes. "Only a means for continuing our struggle against the State of Israel,
" in Muhsein's words. A fraud so successful that even George Bush, Bill Clinton, and no
w the UN can be found seeking a state for that fraud! As you can see, the invention of th
e so-called "palestinian people" is the greatest HOAX perpetrated upon humanity, who
bought into it lock, stock, and barrel!
Sure thr arbs do it ND it's ok and when a Jewish person does it ,it's the crime of the century. Oh please cry me a river
Note to Democracy Now and 972 Magazine: There is no 'Palestine'. There are Gaza and the Palestinian Authority areas.
Please do proper journalistic work instead of deseminating propaganda.
Gobbles would be proud of this channel.
