Who is Itamar Ben-Gvir?
Extremist politician Itamar Ben-Gvir has been Israel’s security minister for over a year now.
Ben-Gvir had a long track record of racism against Palestinians prior to becoming one of the most powerful men in Israeli politics.
He also had a lengthy criminal record, having picked up over 50 charges for everything from supporting a terrorist group to inciting racism.
What Has Ben-Gvir Been Up To? A Glimpse into Israeli Minister’s War Activities
A trained lawyer, leader of the Oztma Yehudit (Jewish Power) Party went from being a fringe activist living in one of the most extreme illegal settlements in the West Bank, to being in the position of overseeing the Israeli border police of the occupied territory and creating a state-funded ultra-nationalist militia; the National Guard.
Israel’s infamous national security minister openly advocates for ethnically cleansing Palestinians from the territories Israel occupied in June of 1967.
Since the beginning of the Israeli war on Gaza, Ben-Gvir has advocated to continue the war at all costs.
