There have been a number of shockingly gross comments to come out of Israel during the war but the latest by a far-right finance minister paints a disturbing picture of how inhumane Israel is willing to get.
The Lowdown
Bezalel Smotrich a finance minister appeared to suggest on Tuesday that some 2m Gazans should be starved of food and water since Hamas won’t hand over the remaining hostages. Gazans themselves have nothing to do with the hostages but that didn’t stop the comments.
“It is impossible in today’s global reality to wage war – no one in the world would let us starve and thirst two million citizens, even though it may be just and moral until they return our hostages,” he said during an event appearance.
