Being pro-pluralist democracy isn't easy during war, when everyone wants to flatten groups to single POVs. But it's necessary to defend our full humanity.
Today there was an ultranationalist rally in Israel backed by gov't extremists, calling to resettle Gaza. This is on the back of extremists blocking aid trucks for months.
The US is not the only state in inner turmoil.
This is why we stand for democracy, not hivemind reductions of any given people to solo POVs.

@MLClark That dude is a trash human being.
Ben Gvir? Not the only one, unfortunately. The Knesset has been the scene these past few months of many horrific statements that would... well, quite actually not shock anyone who follows US Congress, too.
Some people in politics just want to see the world burn.
The trick is making sure there are enough *other* people around to hold the first group at bay.
And remembering that all governments, everywhere, are susceptible to backsliding into great cruelty if we ever lose our way.
