Far-right group launches crowdfunding campaign with eye on Knesset

The far-right Otzma Yehudit group has launched a crowdfunding campaign in order to run for the Knesset in elections next year.

The group’s leaders, Itamar Ben Gvir, Bentzi Gopstein, Michael Ben Ari and Baruch Marzel star in a campaign video in which they present the legislation they intend to advance if they are voted into the Knesset. This includes a plan to “remove enemies from the State of Israel,” a vow to ensure that the High Court of Justice acts both “Jewishly and nationalistically,” and a law requiring Israelis to kill anyone who carries out an attack against them.

“A thousand of our enemies will die and not a hair will be touched on our soldiers’ heads,” Gopstein declares in the video.
