JERUSALEM (VINnews) —Public Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir responded to President Biden’s claim on CNN regarding the current Israeli government that “This cabinet has some of the most extreme members of cabinets that I have— that I have seen. And I go all the way back to Golda Meir.”

Biden said that Israel is not all to blame for the latest violence in the region but stressed that “they are a part of the problem — particularly those individuals in the cabinet who say… we can settle anywhere we want, [and that the Palestinians] have no right to be here.”
Ben-Gvir, who was apparently one of those targeted by the president, said that “The president must internalize that we are not just another star on the American flag. In what way am I extremist? In that I believe Israeli citizens should defend themselves? In that I distribute weapons to Israelis to defend themselves? In that I give backing to our soldiers and policemen?”
Ben-Gvir added that President Biden should visit Israel: “I invite President Biden for a tour of Jerusalem and Hevron in order to see that our extremism stems from our incredible love of the state of Israel.”
Biden criticized both the extremist nature of the Israeli government and its intention to enact judicial reforms, stating that this was another factor in considering when Prime Minister Netanyahu would visit the US administration. “Hopefully, Bibi will continue to move toward moderation in changing the court,” Biden said.
The Israeli security cabinet decided Sunday by a majority of 8 to 1 to accept the prime minister’s proposal that “With no change in the current political outlook, Israel will act to prevent the collapse of the Palestinian Authority.”
“The actions will be taken in conjunction with the promotion of the demand to cease activities against Israel in the international judicial-political arena, as well as ceasing incitement in its media and educational systems, ceasing payments to terrorists and murderers and ceasing illegal construction in the C regions [Israeli-controlled areas of Judea and Samaria].
Ben-Gvir was the sole dissenter to the government decision, stating that “There is no difference between the PA and Hamas- regarding hatred of Israel. The PA stands behind the attacks and funds terrorist supporters. The PA’s educational system indoctrinates to murder Jews. I won’t raise my hand to help them.”
Biden says all that while he’s kissing the Chinese and Iranian. The Jewish people are always judged differently than any other people.
Let Biden reduce the crimes in the US. Before he can give Isreal advice how to deal with its security.
Ben and jerry are so worried about the Indian’ “stolen land” but they aren’t worried the Palestinians are trying to steal the Israeli land.
Good response.
The biden administration are leftist and very dangerous including the Democratic party are dangerous and hate jews
Our president is a fool. He has no business giving advice on how Israel should be run when his own country is falling to pieces
Good for Ben Gvir for telling USA that we are independent country.
I wonder what a real yid says about the insurrection that occurred in the kennest today when protestors stormed the building? is 7/10 = 1/6?
He’s “not an extremist” or his “extremism is out of love of Israel” which one is it? The fact is, Biden is correct and Ben Gvir is an extremist. Let’s not forget that this extremist has or had a picture of Baruch Goldstein hanging in his house..
Ben-Gvir with his twisted ideology is dangerous to Jews all over the world.
He is an inciter and an instigator almost like Meir Kahana.
