tamar Ben-Givr isn’t just a random person on the street spouting off. He’s in the Netanyahu government’s war cabinet serving as Israel’s National Security Minister. That’s kind of like U.S. Homeland Security. But his broad portfolio covers police, border police, the prison system, firefighting and rescue services, and civilian firearms licensing. It’s a powerful post.
If there were any ambiguity in a handful of his many vicious, xenophobic past statements, there was none in what he said this weekend:
“I think targeted assassinations should be carried out in Gaza, taking down 30 to 40 every night. Not just those who pose an immediate threat — there are people there who are not worthy of life. They shouldn’t live. They’re not even people.”
