In Netanyahu's Israel, Rabin Was a Liability, Ben-Gvir Is an Asset

Benjamin Netanyahu's political doctrine regarding the Palestinians – the one that shattered into human fragments on October 7 – is usually summarized using a formula coined by his political partner, Bezalel Smotrich: "The Palestinian Authority is a liability, Hamas is an asset." Since October 7, this formula has been reiterated so many times, but it seems we haven't paid enough attention to its profound monstrosity. Public discourse focused on the "suitcases of cash" from Qatar.
