    So we should also be calling it the Otzma Yehudit-run Ministry of National Security of Israel?

    Heh, might as well have some fun with it: The Jewish-Power-run National Security Ministry of Israel. Sounds pretty fucking fascist.

    And the Religious-Zionist-run Ministry of Finance of Israel.

    They start sounding pretty cooky aren’t they?

        Oh no? Because what, the far right settlers who form the base of Jewish Power and Religious Zionism are not terrorists? If you really believe that I know some olive groves in the West Bank that could really use volunteers for the harvest. Or are the settlers justified because they are the chosen whites?

        Not to mention that the Jewish-Power-run Ministry holds about 3000 Palestinian hostages:

        In August 2023, 1,264 Palestinians were held in administrative detention in Israel, without charge or trial, the highest number in three decades.[42][95][96] After the start of the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, the number of Palestinians held in administrative detention rose from 1,319 to 2,070 between 1 October 2023 and 1 November 2023.[97][98][99] The number of prisoners in administrative detention continued to increase to 3,291 in January 2024.[100][101]

          No, it’s a bullshit comparison because the equivalent to “Jewish-Power-run Ministry” would be “Muslim-Terrorism-run Ministry”, which is not what is being said.

            Jewish Power (“Otzma Yehudit”) is literally the name of the Israeli National Security minister’s political party, just like Hamas is literally the name of the Gazan Health minister’s political party.

            What’s good for the goose is good for the fucking gander.
