I take issue with your characterization of Smotrich and Ben Gvir as supremacists and nasty pieces of work. Interestingly, you recognize they are spot on when it comes to Israeli security concerns. They are hardly thugs. They are among the few who understand and say clearly that Israeli sovereignty over Gaza, Judea and Samaria is a national necessity and a historic right. Saying the latter does not make them thugs. You might want to consider they are as spot on about history as they are about security. Jewish prayer rights on the Temple Mount are a joke, but Jews are willing to overlook that and accept discrimination in the heart of the nation because Muslim thugs, be they "Palestinian", Jordanian, Saudi or Egyptian, threaten to cause trouble if Israel applies the law equally to all, Jews included. Your characterization of Smotrich and Ben Gvir reminds me of the many Jews who support Israel but preface their remarks that they don't like Netanyahu and disagree with his policies. Not a good idea to feed the bears.

Death to all Jews!
