Israel’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said on Sunday that the Israeli army should create a security zone in southern Lebanon should Hezbollah not heed an Israeli ultimatum to withdraw from the border area. He also called on the security cabinet to order a permanent military presence “in all of the Gaza Strip.”
While on a visit to Israel’s north, the far-right leader of the Religious Zionism party said that “the war must end with Hezbollah’s total military defeat. It must be presented with an ultimatum to stop firing and withdraw its forces… and if [Hezbollah] doesn’t fully comply – the Israeli army must launch a defensive attack … deep in Lebanese territory, including a ground incursion and an Israeli military takeover of the southern Lebanon area.”
Regarding Gaza, Smotrich said that the IDF must have a permanent military presence in the Strip. Military outposts, he added, should be erected “in the north, center and south of the Gaza Strip, to prevent a situation in which Hamas rebuilds its military infrastructure and [reasserts] civilian control.”
And anybody who says these are just a few fringe fanatics, remember that anybody who voted for Netanjahu knew that he was going to hop into bed with those fascist fucks and was therefore OK with it.

And there have been like 11 or so elections since Netanyahu first got into power and he’s still in power, so it’s not like it was a fluke or anything.
And all the blatant corruption still didn’t put people off.
