I encourage you to read the quotes from Israeli political and social leaders in this piece: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jun/27/israel-gaza-propaganda https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jun/27/israel... > “The Gaza Strip should be flattened, and for all of them there is but one sentence, and that is death,” Yitzhak Kroizer, a member of national security minister Itamar Ben Gvir’s far-right Otzma Yehudit party, said in a radio interview. Yitzhak is a current sitting member of the Knesset.

I just did. No question a number of these comments are completely inexcusable. 2 points: 1. A number of them, especially by more moderate voices, were made in the immediate days after Oct 7 when there was a tremendous amount of anger as a reaction to what happened. 2. The above comment and others like this were made by the extreme of the extreme right in Israel. I don't think that even Ben Gvir would utter such a thing. Nobody with decision making powers is making any attempt to exterminate a people.
