Ben-Gvir, Israeli far-right minister, in car accident
(www.bbc.com)
Dang, only "slightly injured".
For those who don't know who Ben-Gvir is, this guy is pretty terrible, (archival link here,) probably the worst in Netanyahu's administration. He calls for war crimes, he has framed pictures of Jewish terrorists on his wall, his politics could accurately be described as Judeofascism. He's Israel's National Security Minister which means he oversees Israel's police and prisons, it would be best if he wasn't involved in government at all but at least he's not waging this war.
I don't think it's accurate to say that he's not waging this war, if only because he's very clearly directly implicated in the ongoing violence in the west bank.
More accurately, he's not in charge of the IDF. There are accusations that he instructed police to turn a blind eye to settler violence, which would be very on-brand for him. I think it would be better for everyone, especially Israel, if this guy wasn't representing them.
He's also responsible at the highest level for how the Palestinians who are illegally held are being treated in prison, who are largely women and children and they've been subjected to rapes and beatings and torture.
There's no shortage of people like him in the Knesset, if he goes another will take his place.
Not that the extra information isn't appreciated, but I think 'Israeli far-right' was enough for us all to know he's one super evil piece of shit.
Far-right should be enough normally
The road is Khamas!
The road is karma
Is it karma? He was only slightly injured.
He's responsible for genocide. There is no karma that could possibly balance that out. It wouldn't even be karma if an IDF soldier mistook him for a Palestinian and shoved a bayonet up his ass.
It's always the most evil, miserable fucks that live 1000 years and never ever get their just deserts.
Karma is khamas
It's nice when bad things happen to bad people.
The worst thing that happened in this case is that the innocent law-abiding driver of the other car is badly injured, possibly with multiple fractures. I don't see how this is a case of bad things happening to bad people. Even multiple fractures are too lenient for this PoS.
Let’s not wish death on him. Surely he should have many healthy years to look forward to in his solitary cell in The Hague.
The US will literally sink the Netherlands before they let an ally pay for their crimes.
All of Europe is an Ally.
This perk is pretty much reserved for Israel and Israel only.
Some summary amputation could be granted though
That would be nice but I'd be happy if he got drone striked. Dont care who did it.
oh no. my thoughts go to the bollards,tree,lamppost,other driver and the road.
Hope he gets what he deserves next time
... Good?
Oh no…anyway.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
