Israeli Minister: Executions 'Expected.' Media: 'Move Along, Nothing to See'
The New Arab courageously reported Ben-Gvir's celebration of what by any international standard are extrajudicial killings, yet the broader Western press remains largely silent or downplays the implications. This isn't an anomaly; it's a feature of over 75 years of 'managing' the narrative. The minister, known for his extremist views and conviction for incitement to racism, has consistently
advocated for aggressive action against Palestinians, turning state security into an instrument of unchecked violence. This 'expectation' of executions didn't emerge in a vacuum. It echoes a long-standing pattern of impunity for Israeli forces documented by human rights organizations like B'Tselem and Amnesty International. The silence from Washington mirrors the billions in unconditional aid—$3.8
billion annually, as per the 2016 MOU—that effectively underwrites such operations, turning US taxpayers into silent partners in a system where state-sanctioned killings are simply 'doing as expected.' How many dead Palestinians are 'expected' before the 'allies' question the methodology?
