The minister proposed the idea during a security cabinet meeting on Tuesday, where officials supported expanding the assault in Lebanon.

“Let’s start thinking outside the box about Hezbollah,” Ben Gvir said.

“Conquering territory and killing many terrorists, but also detaining their women and youth and taking them to terrorist prisons,” he added.

“That’s what hurts them the most.”

    I have to hope there’s a sizable demographic who sees all this as abhorrent as the rest of us.

    Abandon that hope. There are Israelis who do think this is madness. There aren’t many of them and they are in no position to have any say whatsoever. There’s a significant contingent of Jews outside of Israel who are horrified, but they tend to be the ones weren’t interested in participating in the colonial project in the first place. You kind of have a distilled subset of those who are least likely to see other people as human.
