Israeli Minister: UN Backing Palestine Means Killing PA Officials
According to Al Jazeera, Ben-Gvir—who, lest we forget, was convicted in 2007 for incitement to racism and supporting a terrorist organization—advocates for the killing of PA officials, including President Mahmoud Abbas, if the UN acts. This isn't just inflammatory rhetoric; it's a call for extrajudicial assassinations from within a US-allied government, a government that received $3.8 billion in
US military aid in 2023, with another $14 billion reportedly in the pipeline. While US politicians trip over themselves to denounce 'extremism' elsewhere, such pronouncements from an Israeli minister barely register as a blip. One might wonder if the 'rules-based order' applies differently when the provocateur is a strategic ally. How many threats of violence against international law and
Palestinian leadership will be absorbed before Washington admits that 'shared values' is just a marketing slogan?
