What do you fellow Israelis think of Ben Gvir?
Shalom aleichem!, Мир вам! (Peace be with you in Rusaian). I am a Russian Christian Jew Israeli currently living in USA. What do you guys think of Ben Gvir? Some Israelis ive talked to in person don't like him from what ive seen and even said "he doesnt represent us at all". Not too favorable when I have asked a few times.
There was one incident when 5 extremist Heredim Jews spat on Christian monuments and were arrested and he said;
At the same time, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir said in an interview: “I still think spitting at Christians is not a criminal case. I think we need to act on it through instruction and education. Not everything justifies an arrest.”
One commenter on this incident I saw said: "Ben Gvir is a clown. He only made it to the government by allying with another party, he got the title of "National Security Minister" while also being prohibited from entering security meetings. This spitting thing was condemned by many in the government, most religious leaders and arrests were already made as seen here. And btw, pretty sure most Israelis would be completely fine with you spitting on Ben Gvir. Or least millions of them would. He deserves much worse.".
What do you guys think about him? I havent been to Israel since the war in Gaza.
