The United States is in no position to go after Israel on human rights issues given how its army acted in Iraq and Afghanistan, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich (Religious Zionist Party) said.
He’s not wrong, but that doesn’t give him the moral high ground he thinks it does. He’s still a racist piece of shit.
Ben-Gvir said:
My right and that of my wife and my children, to travel on the roads in Judea and Samaria, is more important than the freedom of movement for Arabs.
The $150,000,000,000 we waste on that terrorist state every year gives us the authority to preach about morality.
We need to cut that aid, spending it on our own people, and then let Israel argue about morality with their Arab neighbors.
Is it actually 150,000,000,000
I think the tons of money, weapons and intel we give them gives us the right to make certain demands, hypocritical or not. Careful snapping at the hand that feeds….
These clowns are the reason why 9/11 and the two subsequent wars happened. The Arab world hates us for our support for Israel. Helping create the state of Israel has been an economic and political disaster for the West. Not to mention all the lives lost. Fuck this guy.
Well, Israel is not in a strong position on that behalf, either.

I am a dumb American here (and yes I should look this up) but was the USA in all of these instances at war with these countries where as I dont recall Israel being at war with country. Seems that should be a hell of a delimiter on when you are committing war crimes with your standing military.
Hey fellow American. Yeah, sorry, we didn’t declare war as legally defined when we went over there. You shoulda probably checked.
was it one of those dumb police actions again? Iraq we did, I just assumed they did the same with Afghanistan. Thank you for educating me.
