Dang, only "slightly injured".

For those who don't know who Ben-Gvir is, this guy is pretty terrible, (archival link here,) probably the worst in Netanyahu's administration. He calls for war crimes, he has framed pictures of Jewish terrorists on his wall, his politics could accurately be described as Judeofascism. He's Israel's National Security Minister which means he oversees Israel's police and prisons, it would be best if he wasn't involved in government at all but at least he's not waging this war.

I don't think it's accurate to say that he's not waging this war, if only because he's very clearly directly implicated in the ongoing violence in the west bank.

More accurately, he's not in charge of the IDF. There are accusations that he instructed police to turn a blind eye to settler violence, which would be very on-brand for him. I think it would be better for everyone, especially Israel, if this guy wasn't representing them.

He's also responsible at the highest level for how the Palestinians who are illegally held are being treated in prison, who are largely women and children and they've been subjected to rapes and beatings and torture.

There's no shortage of people like him in the Knesset, if he goes another will take his place.

Not that the extra information isn't appreciated, but I think 'Israeli far-right' was enough for us all to know he's one super evil piece of shit.

[–] Hamartia@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Far-right should be enough normally

Is it karma? He was only slightly injured.

He's responsible for genocide. There is no karma that could possibly balance that out. It wouldn't even be karma if an IDF soldier mistook him for a Palestinian and shoved a bayonet up his ass.

It's always the most evil, miserable fucks that live 1000 years and never ever get their just deserts.

[–] BeatTakeshi@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Karma is khamas

It's nice when bad things happen to bad people.

[–] intrepid@lemmy.ca 12 points 5 months ago

The worst thing that happened in this case is that the innocent law-abiding driver of the other car is badly injured, possibly with multiple fractures. I don't see how this is a case of bad things happening to bad people. Even multiple fractures are too lenient for this PoS.

Let’s not wish death on him. Surely he should have many healthy years to look forward to in his solitary cell in The Hague.

The US will literally sink the Netherlands before they let an ally pay for their crimes.

[–] Endorkend@kbin.social 12 points 5 months ago

All of Europe is an Ally.

This perk is pretty much reserved for Israel and Israel only.

[–] Moonrise2473@feddit.it 3 points 5 months ago

Some summary amputation could be granted though

[–] sudo@programming.dev 2 points 5 months ago

That would be nice but I'd be happy if he got drone striked. Dont care who did it.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 21 points 5 months ago

oh no. my thoughts go to the bollards,tree,lamppost,other driver and the road.

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago

Hope he gets what he deserves next time
