Recently released images reveal Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir walking among handcuffed Palestinian prisoners seated on the ground, humiliated and guarded by armed soldiers. This scene, far from being hidden, was openly shown by a man who embodies the most brutal and openly racist face of the Zionist regime.
Ben Gvir is not an outlier in the Israeli system but its most honest reflection. His supremacist rhetoric, disregard for Palestinian lives, and promotion of violence as a political tool represent not individual deviations but the core of a colonial project that has made contempt for Palestinians official state policy.
The presence of this official above subjugated men, stripped of their dignity, aims to send a clear message: Israel can continue to humiliate Palestinians with impunity and no consequences.
"Every image of oppression becomes a historical testament to the crime, and every humiliation strengthens the Palestinian people's determination to achieve their freedom."
The international community, through its silence, allows Zionist fascism to become normalized. Governments that champion human rights but ignore these abuses are complicit in the cruelty.
"From the Palestinian Union of Latin America (UPAL), we denounce this act of planned cruelty as part of a systematic policy of dehumanization."
Summary: Itamar Ben Gvir's actions highlight the systemic oppression within the Zionist regime, exposing a state policy of humiliating Palestinians that is ignored by the international community.
