The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

Israel's far-right finance minister and deputy speaker of Israel's parliament Bezalel Smotrich recently outed himself as a fascist homophobe but said he "won't stone gay people" to death or "eat shrimp." The country's public broadcaster, Kan, published a conversation between Smotrich and a businessman on January 16th, where the politician was heard saying that his voters would still support him, even if he works against the LGBT community. Smotrich stated, in the recording, "I'm a fascist homophobe, but I'm a man of my word," and added, "I won't stone gays, and you won't feed me shrimp." He is heard saying that the voters supported him because he was "the only one who didn't cooperate with the United Arab List and is safeguarding the Land of Israel for [their] grandchildren." Since his comments went viral, critics have said that Smotrich's beliefs contradict Israel's reputation as the most LGBTQ-friendly country in the Middle Eastern and North African region. Israel's former prime minister and current leader of the opposition, Yair Lapid, tweeted, "This reminds us how weak Netanyahu is and how dangerous it is that he's kept captive by extremists," referencing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's comeback made possible only by aligning with the extreme far-right.
