Truly great democracy figures in the Israeli government who care so much about peace:
”In 2015, in the immediate aftermath of the murder of members of the Palestinian Dawabshe family in an arson attack on a West Bank village, he was filmed as an attender at a wedding party of a radical settler along with now sanctioned anti-Arab activist Bentzi Gopstein.
In the footage, guests could be seen stabbing a picture of Ali Dawabshe, a toddler who died during the attack, waving guns and firebombs and singing. Netanyahu, who described the images as “shocking”, would later give Ben-Gvir a portfolio with responsibility for Israel’s police.”
and
“According to reports in the Hebrew media last month, Ben-Gvir demanded of the Israeli chief of staff at a briefing: “Why are there so many arrests [in Gaza]?
“Can’t you kill some? Do you want to tell me they all surrender? What are we to do with so many arrested? It’s dangerous for the soldiers.”

Politicians like this care more about killing as many Palestinians as possible than saving and brining a single Israeli hostage home.
They are committing a genocide. Those who say it is not a genocide are lying to themselves and deluded, can’t admit what is in front of them and as clear as day.
They will deflect and deflect rather than admit what is happening.
