David Azoulai, head of the Metula Council, proposed sending all Gazans to refugee camps in Lebanon and flattening the whole Strip so it becomes an empty museum like Auschwitz.
It isn’t just this guy (and wasn’t just Arpaio,) though.
The government- of both countries- reflect its people; at least in part. It’s certainly fair to say that Israelis put Likud into power; and it’s also fair to say Americans put bush into power. (Though not necessarily. I don’t think we still really know wtf happened in Florida)
This guy was elected by whatever area he represents. They voted for that.
Voting matters, and collectively, we have a responsibility for what our elected leaders do.
We certainly do, but we’re not voting on a single issue and a lot of voters are extremely uninformed or misinformed. There are a number of absolutely fucking atrocious Isrealis, and a number of abhorrent Americans… but there are a lot more that voted for Bush for economic reasons or because they had some mistaken impression of him - I don’t know if you remember this but W actually had a great sense of humor and that appealed to some people.
Doesn’t really matter why one voted for [that guy]… they still voted for [thst guy], and collectively we put [that guy] into power; collectively, we’re responsible for putting [that guy who is an asshole] into power- saying one only voted so because [something irrelevant] is a large part of the problem.
Hey, if you Americans want to judged by the standard of Joe Arpaio you can judge the majority of Isrealis by this shitheel.
