Ben Gvir and the Obscenity of Zionist Power
Recently released images show Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir walking among handcuffed Palestinian prisoners. These prisoners, seated on the ground and humiliated, are guarded by armed soldiers. Rather than hiding this scene, Ben Gvir openly displays it, representing the most brutal and openly racist side of the Zionist regime.
Ben Gvir is not an exception within the Israeli system; instead, he embodies its core realities. His supremacist rhetoric, disdain for Palestinian life, and endorsement of violence as a political tool are not isolated actions but reflect a colonial project that institutionalizes contempt for the Palestinian people.
The presence of this official among the subjugated men, deprived of dignity, is meant to send a clear message: Israel can continue humiliating Palestinians without facing consequences. However, the perpetrators overlook that each image of oppression becomes a lasting record of the crime, and each act of humiliation deepens Palestinian resolve to attain freedom.
International Response and Criticism
The international community, through its silence, enables the normalization of Zionist fascism. Governments that promote human rights but do not respond to these events become complicit in this brutality.
From the Palestinian Union of Latin America (UPAL): "We denounce this act of planned cruelty as part of a systematic policy of dehumanization."
This public humiliation serves as a vivid symbol of ongoing oppression and highlights the systematic nature of the state's demeaning policies against Palestinians.
Author's Summary
The images of Minister Ben Gvir humiliating Palestinian prisoners reveal the brutal core of Zionist policies, exposing state-backed racism and deepening the Palestinian struggle for freedom.
