Itamar Ben-Gvir, the Israeli Minister of National Security, released a statement this morning regarding Israel's attacks in Lebanon: https://x.com/itamarbengvir/status/2067865510281170957

> For every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers must weep. All of Lebanon must burn!

> With all due respect to the Americans, Israel must make it clear to the entire world that the blood of our sons and the security of our citizens are not forfeit. All of Lebanon must burn. Our supreme duty is to protect the citizens of Israel and the soldiers of the IDF, and this commitment takes precedence over every other consideration.

> I told the Prime Minister, even in our private meetings: For every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers must weep.

> Enough with the ping-pong. In the Middle East, you don’t win with measured responses and restraint—you need to go berserk. To obliterate. To crush the terror.

Notably, the same strategy of disproportionate response was used by Germany during World War II to suppress insurgent groups in territories that Germany was occupying. Some examples of this include the Kragujevac massacre, where they responded to insurgent groups killing 10 Germans and wounding 26 others by killing around 2800 Serbs, and the Ardeatine massacre, where they responded to an insurgent group killing 33 Germans by killing 335 Italians.

For context, far-right people in Israel killed their own Prime Minister, Yitzhak Rabin due to his peace efforts.

Ben-Gvir is so far-right, that he celebrates the murder of his own PM:

context: My close fried lost his cousin due to Hamas murders on Oct. 7. I am not anti-Israel in any way. I just want everyone to be aware of how far-right bibi has taken Israel to avoid prison, and his other plans. He put Ben-Gvir, who is hated in Israel, into government.
