What about the actions? Ben gavir is in charge of all prisons in Israel and has given the go ahead for torture for Palestinian detainees and Smotrich has been enacting plans that will allow Israel to fully annex the occupied West Bank.
It’s like they’re drip-feeding us with the minimal actions they can do to placate the population, without actually doing anything meaningful to stop the genocide.
The majority of the British population support an arms embargo. The UK and other countries should be sanctioning Israel, not tut-tutting at them and sanctioning 3 people who are so extreme they make Hamas look like Gandhi*.
Nothing, not sanctions, not Greta, not the EU and sure as hell not the ICC can stop Israel from ensuring that the terrorist organizations in Gaza will never be able to pull off another October 7 ever again. Ben Gvir and Smotrich could be teleported to Mars tomorrow and it still won’t stop the fact that Palestinians will come to curse the date of October 7 for generations to come.
A reminder that Smotrich supported keeping Hamas in power as a way to fracture a stronger independent Palestinian government

Meanwhile Netanyahu kills thousands of Gazans with impunity. The PM and his cabinet all want the same thing: total destruction and displacement. They are all guilty.
Can’t arrest them for the International Criminal Court if you don’t let them into the country!
