There's no mention of the minister in the article you linked?

Ben-Gvir is a right-wing populist dipshit who's unfortunately part of the government, but nothing will ever come of it. If anything, I blame the club for not telling the foreign players in advance what the banner is about. "Bring them home now" is as uncontroversial as a statement in this time can be, I doubt anybody would have objected to endorsing it.

Or you could just be allowed to play the sport and do your job without being sucked into a fascist propaganda machine used to try and justify genocide.

Demanding the release of civilian hostages is fascist propaganda now? Come on. The release of hostages is as unpolitical as it gets. Be better.

Supporting the release of hostages = fascist propaganda? If people like you weren’t so hysterical in your accusations you’d be taken more seriously.

"Bring innocent children back home" = fascist propaganda? You guys have lost the plot.
