Israel's Human Wrecking Ball
On Wednesday, after Israeli forces intercepted a protest flotilla headed to Gaza and brought the participants to an Israeli port, Itamar Ben-Gvir, the Israeli minister of national security, posted a video on social media. The short clip shows the far-right politician taunting the detainees with nationalist slogans as the handcuffed prisoners are forced to kneel. One activist shouts “Free Palestine!” and is pushed to the ground by security personnel. “This is how we receive supporters of terror,” Ben-Gvir posted.
