What is Israel?
If Ben Gvir doesn't represent Israel… according to Gideon Sa'ar.
And Smotrich doesn't represent it… according to Lapid.
And Netanyahu doesn't represent it… according to the opposition, because he "hijacked the state."
And the settlers and the Hilltop Youth don't represent Israel… according to Netanyahu.
And the Haredim don't represent "the Israeli" because they don't enlist.
And the soldiers don't represent "Israel's values" every time a new scandal emerges in a church in southern Lebanon.
And the opposition doesn't represent it… according to the government.
And the judiciary doesn't represent it… according to the right.
And the protesters in Tel Aviv don't represent Israel… according to the coalition.
And the international community treats "the actions of the Israeli government" as if they were something separate from Israel itself and don't represent it.
Then who represents Israel?
As you probably know, Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has released video footage on social media of himself berating detained activists from the Gaza flotilla, and he is proud of it.
This is not some random extremist whom you can say doesn't represent Israel. He is the Minister of National Security and has the police and security forces under his command. He is attacking unarmed people who are tied up and detained by Israelis.
Zionists always say that Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East, which means people like Ben-Gvir, Smotrich, and Netanyahu are chosen by the Israeli people, so Ben-Gvir's behavior does represent Israel and represents everything Israel stands for.
