A good summary of Ben Gvir

https://www.thejewishstar.com/stories/another-government-with-ben-gvir-disastrous,26775

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.

    Yes, in fact it is precisely beyond monstrosity in the sense that it extends beyond its own evil to attempt to invoke an opposing monster that is equally terrifying.

    This is an act attempting to invoke two monstrosities bifurcated by endless violent hypocrisy, it can be understood as nothing else.
