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, seated on the ground, humiliated and guarded by armed soldiers. This scene, far from being hidden, was openly displayed by Ben Gvir, who represents the most brutal and openly racist aspect of the Zionist regime.
Ben Gvir is not an exception within the Israeli system; rather, he embodies its core. His supremacist rhetoric, disregard for Palestinian lives, and praise for violence as a political tool are not isolated behaviors but reflect the colonial project that has made disdain toward the Palestinian people official state policy.
"The presence of this official before subjugated men, stripped of their dignity, sends a message: Israel can continue to humiliate Palestinians with impunity and without any consequences."
However, what the oppressors fail to realize is that every image of such cruelty becomes a lasting historical record of the crime, and every act of humiliation only fuels the Palestinian people's resolve to secure their freedom.
The international community, through its silence, enables the normalization of Zionist fascism. Governments that advocate human rights but ignore these abuses are 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 situation reveals a disturbing reality where oppression is openly exhibited but insufficiently challenged on the global stage.
Author’s summary: The actions of Itamar Ben Gvir exemplify the systemic oppression of Palestinians by Israeli authorities, underscoring entrenched state policies and global silence enabling ongoing injustice.
