Recently released images reveal Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir walking among handcuffed Palestinian prisoners, seated on the ground, humiliated and under guard by armed soldiers. This scene was not hidden but openly displayed by Ben Gvir, who embodies the most brutal and openly racist side of the Zionist regime.
Ben Gvir is not an isolated figure in the Israeli system; he represents its clearest expression. His supremacist speech, disdain for Palestinian life, and promotion of violence as a political tool are not anomalies but the core of a colonial agenda that institutionalizes contempt for the Palestinian people.
The presence of this official among subjugated men, stripped of their dignity, sends a clear message: Israel can continue humiliating Palestinians with impunity and no repercussions. However, those enforcing oppression fail to see that every image of injustice becomes a permanent record of the crime, and every act of degradation fuels the Palestinians' resolve to gain freedom.
The global community, silent in the face of these acts, enables the normalization of Zionist fascism. Governments that claim to uphold human rights but ignore these violations become complicit in the 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: The public display of humiliation by Israel’s National Security Minister exposes a state-backed colonialism normalized by global silence yet strengthening Palestinian resistance.
