Ben-Gvir's Mosque 'Prayer': A Familiar Extremist Playbook
Ben-Gvir’s latest foray into the Al-Aqsa compound, performing a forbidden prayer for non-Muslims, isn't a spontaneous act of faith. It's a calculated provocation by a man previously convicted for supporting a terrorist organization (Kach, designated by the US), who now wields state power. This mirrors historical patterns of Israeli officials and extremist settlers deliberately inflaming religious
sites, knowing full well the global ramifications. Such actions, often downplayed by Western media as mere 'visits,' are direct violations of international agreements safeguarding holy sites and risk igniting wider regional instability. One might wonder: how often do world leaders condemn such blatant disregard for a critical flashpoint, or do these provocations simply become background noise to
'both sides' narratives, while US taxpayers continue to fund the very state apparatus enabling them?
