Flotilla for Gaza: Fascist Ben-Gvir humiliates activists in video that scandalizes the world

Far-right Israeli Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has provoked a wave of international outrage after the release of a video showing him humiliating pro-Palestinian activists arrested during the interception of a humanitarian flotilla en route to Gaza. In the images, activists kneeling with their hands tied behind their backs are mocked by the minister who declares: “We are the masters. » The peaceful activists, from more than 40 countries, were trying to deliver symbolic aid to Gaza to denounce the catastrophic living conditions in the Palestinian enclave. The organizers accuse Israel of having carried out a violent operation in international waters, with shooting, water cannons and violent collisions against several boats. Ben-Gvir’s video sparked angry reactions in several countries. The United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, France and even Spain denounced “degrading” and “unacceptable” scenes. Israeli ambassadors have been summoned by several European governments.
Far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir released a video showing detained participants of the intercepted Gaza-bound flotilla being bound and dragged into Israel’s Ashdod Port, writing, “That’s how we welcome the terror supporters. Welcome to Israel.”
