Ben Gvir's Coda to Gaza: The Futility of Collective Punishment Itamar Ben Gvir's latest remarks, advocating for nightly killings of Palestinians in Gaza, are consistent with the Israeli far right's modus operandi.
His call for collective punishment is not new; what's striking is its brazenness, coming as it does amidst international pressure on Israel to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Ben Gvir's proposal is an exercise in futility, as collective punishment has never achieved any strategic goal, let alone quelled opposition or maintained security.
