Israel’s Knesset passed a resolution rejecting the establishment of a Palestinian state on Thursday.
The bill, co-sponsored by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition along with right-wing parties in the opposition, was passed by an overwhelming majority of 68 votes, with only nine MKs voting against it.
Benny Gantz, seen by many leaders in the West as a more moderate figure than Netanyahu, voted in favour of the bill, along with his party.
Itamar Ben-Gvir and Benjamin Gantz are different people.
I don’t think I implied they weren’t? Just that extremist vs moderate is a somewhat fluid concept based on your yardstick. Someone we consider an extremist can be seen as a moderate if the alternative is so much worse.
Using the US as an example, people see people like Romney or Ryan as a moderate now a days just because the modern republican party has gone absolutely bugfuck.
Then I probably misunderstood you, apologies. I’m struggling to understand how Gantz could appear moderate compared to Gvir
No worries, I don’t know enough about the politics of either past finding them repugnant and inhumane so I probably came off weird.
They’re both piles of shit, I’ve just never bothered to figure out which one is bigger than the other.
