Ben-Gvir Calls for Total War: For Every Israeli Tear, 1,000 Lebanese Mothers Must Weep

What was said

"For every tear of an Israeli mother, 1,000 Lebanese mothers must weep. All of Lebanon must burn. With all due respect to the Americans, Israel must make it clear to the entire world that the blood of our sons and the security of our citizens are not forfeit. All of Lebanon must burn."

Israeli National Security Minister Ben-Gvir publicly advocated for disproportionate military response against Lebanon, explicitly stating that for every Israeli casualty, Lebanon should suffer 1,000-fold. The post was so extreme that X flagged it as violating platform rules but left it accessible citing public interest. Bilyeu characterized this as Israel going into full monster mode and noted it reflects the Dahiya Doctrine of disproportionate force.
