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 disturbing scene was openly displayed by Ben Gvir, who embodies the most brutal and openly racist faction of the Zionist regime.
Ben Gvir as a Symbol of the System
Ben Gvir is not an exception within the Israeli system; he represents its most honest and extreme expression. His supremacist rhetoric, disdain for Palestinian life, and approval of violence as a political tool reflect the core of a colonial project that institutionalizes contempt for Palestinians as state policy.
The Message Conveyed
The presence of this official before subjugated and stripped men serves to communicate that Israel can continue humiliating Palestinians with impunity and no repercussions. Yet, the oppressors fail to realize that every image of oppression becomes a record of their crimes, while every act of humiliation strengthens Palestinian determination for freedom.
International Complicity
The global community, silent and complicit, watches as Zionist fascism normalizes. Governments that claim to uphold human rights but remain silent before such acts become partakers 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."
Author’s summary: Ben Gvir's actions starkly reveal the systemic violence and racism embedded in Zionist policies, reinforcing oppression while global silence enables ongoing dehumanization.
