In the video, Ben Gvir points towards what appears to be an active construction site and says the complex will include “viewing chambers where crime victims will be able to come and watch” Palestinians being hanged.

All people living in Israel are unfortunately brainwashed and blindly support the Knesset.

That's not even true. There were widespread protests in Israel before the government brutally cracked down on them. And the media didn't cover them very thoroughly even when they were happening.

It's kinda hard to be outspoken against the authoritarian regime of the country you live in. Just like we don't hear much about russian dissidents, but they exist. Most of them in gulags at this point, at least the outspoken ones.

You're experiencing survivorship bias.

Thank you so much for sharing those insights. I was indeed not aware.
