The US, the UK, France, Italy and Canada were among the countries which expressed outrage after far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir posted a video showing himself taunting activists kneeling with their hands tied behind their backs.

His actions also drew rare criticism from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who said they were “not in line with Israel’s values”.

“not in line with Israel’s values”, says Bibi.

He’s wrong.

The sneering cruelty exhibited by Ben-Gvir is the honest face of Israel now.

Itamar Ben-Gvir is not the exception anymore

I think that when you oppress a people, it doesn’t just mutilate them, it mutates you.

The Israeli culture has been conditioned by compulsory service and radicalised by unhinged Zionism so much so that a democratic majority want Gaza wiped out.

Israeli culture has been conditioned by compulsory service and radicalised by unhinged Zionism to the point where a democratic majority want Gaza wiped out.

Conditioned to the point where protesters attacked police cells holding IDF members accused of sexual assault.

Conditioned to the point where war crimes have been allowed to technically breach the thresholds of genocide.

This is what occupation does to the occupier

Netanyahu is wanted for war crimes!

Ben-Gvir IS Israel now, and his malevolence is a terrible reminder of just how far Israel has fallen before it can ever heal.
