Ben Gvir and the Obscenity of Zionist Power
Recently released images depict 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 was openly displayed by Ben Gvir, who embodies the most brutal and openly racist aspect of the Zionist regime.
Ben Gvir is not an exception within the Israeli system; rather, he is its most transparent representation. His supremacist rhetoric, disdain for Palestinian lives, and glorification of violence as a political tool reflect the core of a colonial project that institutionalizes contempt for Palestinians as state policy.
The presence of Ben Gvir before these subjugated men, stripped of dignity, is intended to communicate a clear message: Israel can continue to degrade Palestinians without facing any 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 remains complicit through silence, allowing Zionist fascism to become normalized. Governments that advocate human rights but ignore these abuses become participants in this cruelty.
"From the Palestinian Union of Latin America (UPAL), we denounce this act of planned cruelty as part of a systematic policy of dehumanization."
This incident highlights a deliberate strategy of humiliation embedded in state actions against Palestinians.
Author's summary: The images of Ben Gvir among humiliated Palestinian prisoners expose the systemic dehumanization and normalized violence underpinning Israeli policies, reinforcing Palestinian resilience amid global silence.
