Today we received formal confirmation that US anti-terror legislation and immigration policies are a total sham.
Itamar Ben-Gvir was formerly a member of the Kach and Kahane Chai parties, proscribed terrorist organisations in the United States and even in Israel. In 2007 he was convicted, by an Israeli court, of supporting a terrorist organisation. The Israeli military previously refused to conscript him on account of his views and positions, at the time considered extremist even by Israeli standards. Ben-Gvir is also a close associate of Benzi Gopstein, who in addition to involvement in terrorism established Lehava, an extremist organisation that seeks to prevent marriage between Jews and others (the Zionist version of the anti-miscegnation movement).
What has changed is that such positions and activities have not only become mainstream in Israel and represented at the highest level of government, but have also become completely normalized in and by the United States.
Rather than being refused entry or shunned for his record, and for his consistent incitement to genocide and participation in genocidal policies and decisions since October 2023, Ben-Gvir is being welcomed in the United States as a conquering hero.
This despite the additional fact that the supremacist party Ben-Gvir leads, Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power), is the successor to the proscribed Kach and Kahane Hai terrorist organisation.
In sharp contrast to the above, students activists who campaign against Israel's genocidal policies, or so much as co-author an article in a student newspaper criticising Israeli policy, are snatched off the streets by plainclothes secret police, incarcerated indefinitely in the US prison system, and are on the receiving end of deportation proceedings.
Next time you hear US officials pontificating about anti-terrorism legislation and immigration/visa policies designed to keep radical extremists outside their country, don't forget to remind them they're a total sham.
