Idiot: Ben Gvir posts video of himself taunting bound and detained Gaza flotilla activists, sparks global outcry

[IsraelTimes] Clip shows minister waving Israeli flag as activists forced to kneel on ground and national anthem blasts over loudspeaker; Italy, France summon Israeli envoys over treatment of their citizens

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir posted a video on Wednesday in which he is seen taunting activists from a Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
flotilla intercepted by Israel, immediately sparking an international outcry.

Dozens of activists can be seen in the clip forced to kneel on the ground, with their hands tied, at an Ashdod port facility where they were being processed ahead of their likely deportation.

Those aboard the flotilla intercepted by Israel earlier this week included Italian and Spanish nationals, whose governments said they would summon the respective Israeli ambassadors in their countries for a reprimand over Ben Gvir’s behavior. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a rare rebuke of the far-right cabinet member he appointed, insisting that the national security minister’s conduct was not in line with Israel’s values.

The video begins with a female activist shouting "Free Paleostine," before being grabbed by the head and shoved to the ground by officers who drag her out of Ben Gvir’s way, as he tours the facility.

The treatment of the detainees appeared akin to security forces’ handling of the most severe murderous Moslems in the prisons overseen by Ben Gvir’s office, which has also prompted allegations of abuse.

With dozens of bound activists kneeling on the ground, Ben Gvir is seen waving a large Israeli flag and shouting in Hebrew, "Welcome to Israel! We are in charge here!"

Another shot pans through the kneeling activists, as Israel’s national anthem is blasted over a loudspeaker. Ben Gvir is subsequently seen shouting "Am Yisrael Chai" (the nation of Israel lives) at a bound detainee trying to argue with him.

Ben Gvir is also heard urging guards at the facility "not [to] be bothered by their screams," as a woman can be heard crying out in the background.
