Point is that if this had happened anywhere outside Israel and the remark would be towards Israel, there would have been a huge outcry, and this guy would have been arrested, but now I am not even sure he will be removed from the government or returned silently after some time.

Justice for me but not for thee.

He has now been removed from the government.

I think he was only suspended.

It'd have been fine in most the Arab world, certainly Iran.

There have been Russian politicians defending using nukes in Ukraine, though not actually wanting to nuke a city of 2 million people.

Then again, the Russians are nowhere as racist towards Ukranians and actually want those in the occupied Ukranian territory to become Russians, whilst the Israelis want all Palestinians to die or to leave their land, not to integrate.
