A good summary of Ben Gvir

Ben-Gvir shouldn’t be underestimated: He’s the only member of the coalition for whom the polls predict a surge rather than a collapse. If I may venture a guess, the polls are still underselling his strength.
Precisely for that reason — and without risking being suspected of leftism — I’ll go ahead and say that another government with Ben-Gvir in a meaningful role would be a heavy disaster for the country.
Four years of unrelenting artillery bombardment, aimed at short-term political gain at home, have caused long-term strategic damage abroad.
Our great friends in right-wing parties around the world struggle to understand why Israel handed a man like this the keys to its government at a time like this. There isn’t a Jewish community I’ve visited in the United States, however Orthodox and right-leaning, where I haven’t heard how hard it is to defend an Israeli government Ben Gvir belongs to, and quotes that made it all the way from his X account to the other side of the ocean.
He’s a celebrity on a global scale, and not in a good way.
A list of heinous quotes from Ben Gvir with sources going back a decade up to 2022.
Oh good lord this isn’t an onion article.
