Far-right Israeli activist condemned for patrolling Tel-Aviv with assault rifle
A well-known far-right Israeli activist and civil defence team member, Yoav Eliasi, was seen on Saturday patrolling around Tel Aviv with an assault rifle.
The move was condemned on social media by residents who said they did not feel safe.
Eliasi is a supporter of the current secretary of National Homeland Security, Itamar Ben Gvir, who personally gave him an assault rifle when he enlisted. Eliasi is also known for his violent rhetoric on social media.
The activist is known by his stage name "the shadow".
Translation: An extreme right-wing activist who had the honour of establishing the Tel Aviv-Jaffa armed alert squad, under the hand of Ben Gvir, began patrolling Tel Aviv, armed with a rifle and a protective vest. Feel safe?
There are not enough words to explain why this is simply illogical and completely insane. How dangerous it is. This is what the spirit of the times looks like.
