“Netanyahu today banned politicians from ascending to the HH”B. Is Netanyahu a raging leftist who sees a violent outcome when Jewish politicians ascend?”
Possibly he did so as the arab mk’s would also be blocked from further incitement which indeed happened, and arab mks still complained. Besides netanyahu does not act according to his beliefs, which he has written about, but whatever is best for his polls.
This is why we should vote for the most right wing party possible even if you don’t agree with half of what they say, just so that there will be tension pulling to the right forcing the PM’s decisions to at least be appropriately tough and not too pacifist. This is pikuach nefesh.
There is an argument not really dealt with here and that is the danger of giving an inch in response to terror. It may be assur to go up, it may anger the arabs and even in the short term cause more casualties, (maybe not), but if you give in anything when hammas demand it all just encourages more terror. And at least 40 to 50% arabs support them. This is the “salami” tactic. First get one slice not essential to us then another till they have it all. Today its har habais tomorrow its the kosel.
We find similar ideas with the din of sha’as shmad when they want us to abandon the entire torah we don’t give in even on chumros.
Also the din is we do not free captives in certain circumstances even if they will die in order to save future captives. We find these results today with isis, those countries who don’t negotiate have sacrificed a few unfortunate cases but their citizens are now safe. It’s not worth their bother to capture them if they’ll get no money.
