Israel's arrogance is becoming the evidence in the case against it
Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir posted a video showing security officers abusing activists attempting to break the Gaza siege. This incident highlights a broader pattern of abuse and impunity within Israeli forces, as documented by various human rights reports. The lack of accountability for such actions suggests a troubling normalization of violence against both Palestinians and foreign nationals.
