tclark @tclark.bsky.social · 1hEven when Ben-Gvir's own genocidal rhetoric is disregarded, there is abundant evidence of action (intentional destruction of water resources, blocking food supplies) bolstering the *already demonstrated motive* for genocide in the Netanyahu regime. 000

It’s a display of power. They could have passed them off as PAC-funded. They added “paid for by the U.S. government” because they want us to know they can break the law with impunity. 351630478
