Israel subjecting its prisoners to humiliating torture is hardly news, but the international community is in turmoil this week after footage emerged of them doing it to Europeans rather than Palestinians.
Israel’s national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, is shown lording it over bound and kneeling detainees. Their crime? Attempting to bring food and medical supplies to the beleaguered inhabitants of Gaza. It’s a nauseating watch, and genuinely confusing how anyone viewing it could possibly think this corpulent, chuckling sadist isn’t morally rotten to the core.
