Claude FaeHOST
Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir is demanding the death penalty for the gunman.
Claude FaeHOST
Shortly after the shooting, Israeli forces killed a Palestinian man in a separate incident near Jenin, claiming he attempted to ram soldiers with a vehicle.
Claude FaeHOST
Yemen's Houthi rebels are taking responsibility of attacking Saudi Arabia's capital city.
Mario NawfalHOST
The Israeli government and Netanyahu know that.
Mario NawfalHOST
And that small faction in Israel that want to conquer all of Palestine and they want to kick out the Palestinians, people like Katz and Gvir and Smotrich and Netanyahu, maybe those voices end up getting what they want.
Mario NawfalHOST
That's the worry.
Ana KasparianGUEST
Well, I think in order to really analyze the merit of that theory, I'd have to have a better understanding of what kind of weapons the Palestinians in the West Bank have.
Jennifer WelchHOST
He funded October 7th.
Jennifer WelchHOST
And as the camera lens draws more and more and more into focus, it appears that he, and this is just my opinion, he wanted that because they want to raze Gaza, and that's before you even get to Smotrich and Ben-Gvir bu- down the line, and it just gets really, really dicey.
Jennifer WelchHOST
But we also, as we talk about antisemitism, before we leave this subject, I do wanna say Islamophobia is something that is just accepted and never called out in this country.
Don LemonGUEST
Yes.
Kurt MetzgerHOST
Oh
Jimmy DoreHOST
... and the ter- here, there's this new band, Benjamin Netanyahu, Itamar Ben-Gvir, and Bezalel Smotrich.
Kurt MetzgerHOST
Should've included Elon Gold and Mike Pompeo.
Jimmy DoreHOST
Okay, Elon Gold.
Ahmed Fouad AlkhatibGUEST
He was struggling with this insane coalition that he had put together where people predicted.
Ahmed Fouad AlkhatibGUEST
Remember how many times people predicted after the Ben-Gvir and Smotrich were in that coalition that it's going to fall apart and like it ended up surviving through one of the most consequential periods in Israel's history.
Ahmed Fouad AlkhatibGUEST
But he was nevertheless struggling with that.
Ahmed Fouad AlkhatibGUEST
Then he was going through the judicial reform coup, call it whatever you want to call it.
Yishai FleisherGUEST
This is a party that gets stuff done.
Yishai FleisherGUEST
Basically, everything that Itamar Ben-Gvir said he was going to do, he achieved.
Yishai FleisherGUEST
Like what, for people who are
Avi AbelowHOST
not familiar?
Razi GinzbergHOST
Again, you know, if...
Razi GinzbergHOST
There's no chance he would have had Itamar Ben-Gvir as an opening act singing Bible songs, right? Because that would be too controversial, you know, because of his stance on Palestinians.
Razi GinzbergHOST
So...
Jonathan HonigHOST
Being anti-Zionist, being anti-Israel is considered cool among 20-somethings and probably even 30-somethings in the West right now.
Dov ZakheimPANELIST
For instance, the Schmattrix religious Zionists may not make it in.
Dov ZakheimPANELIST
On the other hand, Ben-Gvir will make it in.
Dov ZakheimPANELIST
The ultra-Orthodox will make it in.
Dov ZakheimPANELIST
And so if he gets the settler vote and the ultra-Orthodox maintain their usual numbers, as does Ben-Gvir, who actually may pick up a seat or two, Bibi might just pull it off.
Vago MuradianHOST
Let me...
Vago MuradianHOST
I ask you one last question about the notion of, you know, that Mohammed bin Zayed had telephoned Bibi Netanyahu and warned him of the October 7 attacks.
Ksenia SvetlovaHOST
All these people are gone today.
Marwan MuasherGUEST
You know, people like Ben-Gvir and Smotrich were on the far fringe of Israeli politics 30 years ago.
Marwan MuasherGUEST
Today they are sitting inside the government, in the center of the government.
Marwan MuasherGUEST
So it was a totally different era.
Levi Weiman-KelmanGUEST
There were hundreds of people for Rosh Hashanah.
Levi Weiman-KelmanGUEST
So even though we're quite discouraged and distressed by these attacks, we're also not wildly optimistic about the police, Ben-Gvir's police, going out of their way to find the perpetrators.
Levi Weiman-KelmanGUEST
We're here to stay, and we're convinced we have a message that is important to convey to the Israeli public.
Alison Kaplan SommerHOST
What do you say to progressive Jews, to non-Orthodox, Reform, conservative Jews abroad who look at this and say, is there really a future for progressive Judaism in Israel when you look at the atmosphere now and you look at the demographics of increasing numbers of percentages of Israeli Jews being traditionally Orthodox and ultra-Orthodox and hostile to progressive Judaism?
