JERUSALEM (VINnews) — Otzma Yehudit MK Itamar Ben-Gvir, who recently broke off negotiations with the Religious Zionist party and decided to run independently for the Knesset, called for the creation of a deportation law during an interview on Army Radio Tuesday.

“When we form the government, I will promote the Deportation Law, which will deport anyone who acts against the State of Israel or IDF soldiers,” Ben-Gvir said in the interview. “Those who throw stones and Molotov cocktails at soldiers will be deported from here. Those who work against the state like [Joint Arab List MK] Ofer Cassif will be deported. Maybe to Europe. They need working hands there.”
However, Ben-Gvir said that the same law would not apply to Jews.
“A Jew who throws stones at IDF soldiers will sit in prison for many years [in Israel],” Ben-Gvir reiterated, but claimed that based on a 2014 petition to demolish homes of Jewish murderers which was rejected by the Supreme Court, Jewish terrorists can be treated in a different manner to prevent recurrence of such terrorist attacks.
Another person Ben-Gvir said he would deport is Joint List chairman MK Ayman Odeh.
He would deport him “on a train,” he said.
Other than Cassif and Odeh, Ben-Gvir said he would also deport the anti-Zionist Neturei Karta sect.
Meretz candidate Zehava Galon wrote in response, “Racial laws? A Deportation Law and singling out traitors?…. It is time to expel Ben-Gvir from the Knesset.”
Galon added on Twitter later on Tuesday, “Who will this lowly nationalist deport? 200,000 Meretz voters? Prime Minister [Yair] Lapid? Me? Read this headline carefully, send it to your friends and go vote. Our mission is to build an iron barrier [that will block] the Bibi-Ben-Gvir train. They will not deport anyone here to any camp, on any train.”
Ben-Gvir responded that he had no intention of deporting left-wing voters but only those that actively commit violence or incite against IDF soldiers and police.
Yesh Atid responded on Twitter, “This will be the first time in history that an MK passes legislation to deport himself.” The tweet included a screenshot of a news item about Ben-Gvir’s conviction for supporting a terrorist organization in the 1990s. The Otzma Yehudit leader supported the Kach movement led by Rabbi Meir Kahane, which was deemed a terrorist organization.
Will he impose prison on Charedi rioters?
Ben-Gvir the inciter in his true colors. A Meir Kahana wannabe.
His twisted right wing Zionistic views is more important to him than Jewish lives.

In addition to the enemies of Israel that should be deported for disloyalty & the harm that they cause to the State of Israel (which includes the Neturei Karta; especially the demonstrators allied with Iran and wearing the keffiya); those that cannot differentiate between lovers of our brethren like Meir Kahane, A’H, or Ben-Gvir; and the haters of Klal Yisroel like Gideon Levy, Miko Peled, and Odeh; ought to be deported as well, or at a minimum, be evaluated for Psychiatric care.
Ben Gevir your the answer to all the Jews getting shot.
