Social media platforms were introduced to Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant through a widely shared video clip. In this video, Galant can be seen making threats and announcing the siege on the Gaza Strip on October 9th. He states, "No electricity, no food, no water, no fuel, everything is closed," before adding, "We are fighting human animals, and we act accordingly." This statement encapsulates Galant’s persona as a war leader within an extremist right-wing government, who shows no hesitation in causing harm and starvation to civilians, regarding them as a "subhuman race."

Galant's involvement with the Gaza Strip did not begin with the recent war that started on October 7th in response to the Hamas movement's "Al-Aqsa Flood" operation targeting settlements surrounding the Gaza Strip. His connection goes back several years when he led a military operation in the Gaza Strip, which brought him recognition and paved the way for his political aspirations in Israel.

But his statements mentioned earlier brings back dark memories to a certain persona by the name of Heinrich Himmler. We shall discover this dark character next and how similarties were made with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant.
