Times of Israel and Nava Freiberg – May 20, 2026
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir posted a video on Wednesday in which he is seen taunting activists from a Gaza 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 Palestine,” 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 terrorists 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.

International furor
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni called the clip “unacceptable,” taking issue with the treatment of activists that violated their human dignity. Italy’s foreign ministry said a member of the country’s parliament and a journalist were among those detained.
Meloni wrote on X that her government was taking immediate steps at the highest levels to secure the release of all Italian citizens who were detained.
“Italy further demands an apology for the treatment of these demonstrators and for the utter contempt shown toward the explicit requests of the Italian government,” she said, adding that Israel’s ambassador in Rome would also be summoned.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot tweeted that he too had summoned Israel’s ambassador in Paris over the mistreatment of the French nationals aboard the flotilla.
“Whatever one thinks of this flotilla — and we have indicated on several occasions our disapproval of this initiative — our compatriots who are participating in it must be treated with respect and released as quickly as possible,” he wrote.
Citizens of South Korea were also among those detained by Israeli naval forces, President Lee Jae Myung said on Wednesday, calling Israel’s actions “way out of line.”
Spain and Ireland also issued statements, calling out Ben Gvir’s “monstrous” and “appalling” behavior.
Even US President Donald Trump’s administration issued a rare critique, calling Ben Gvir’s actions “despicable.
“Flotilla was stupid stunt, but Ben Gvir betrayed dignity of his nation,” wrote US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee on X.
Global outcry. LOL. Fake “leaders” spout crap to make out they give a shit. People seem to be particularly “shocked” that “Ireland” doesn’t do whatever they think it should do, oblivious to the fact that “Ireland” means the jews that own and control it, as does “Britain” and “Spain” and all the rest.
An “activist” is “a militant reformer”. A “militant” is “engaged in war”. Are some richtards floating around the mediterranean on million sheckel yachts “militant”? Do they seem that way to you? “Help help we’re being oppressed. We only came to deliver some oreos. Let us go.”
Until someone somewhere gives a shit about the guy dying on their doorstep, this theatre will go on and on. You can’t have community without community.
Times of Isra-hell ?????? And we are of course supposed to believe these jews — who NEVER lie. Ha Ha Ha.
I simply love this man’s chutzpah. This is chutzpah at its very finest. Perhaps the most sakred value at the beating heart of Judaisticalism.
Be tolerant pipple fer phucksakes!
“Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson taught that a Jew was not created as a means for some other purpose; he himself is the purpose, stating that “the substance of all [divine] emanations was created only to serve the Jews.” He further explained that two contrary types of soul exist, noting that while the Jewish soul stems from holiness, a non-Jewish soul comes from three satanic spheres.” – Google
That over-stuffed colostomy bag is so cartoonishly over the top at being utterly loathsome that you almost have to wonder if it’s an act. I mean, I have no doubt that Ben Gvir is a demonic shit wad ot the core, but yet, something seems conjured with that festering asshole.
All of the hollow condemnations and outcries will amount to…jack shit. Then there was that bloated museum of treachery and treason, the deeply compromised and dumber than dog shit “ambassador” Kike Cuckabitch pulling chabadnik cock out of his mouth just long enough to blurt out, “Flotilla was stupid stunt, but Ben Gvir betrayed dignity of his nation.” .. The “dignity of his nation”?!? HAHAHAHA No, Kike Cuckabitch, that Mordorian demon’s actions fit right in with what that stolen state is all about.
An Israeli, probably Ashkenazim said Ben Gvir, Mizrahim, was behaving like a Palestinian in a kippah.
One day there will be a civil war between these three fake tribes of Judah. Gvir might lose his job over this. Will that stop detainees and prisoners being abused and raped?
I doubt it.
Israel. displays itself. Ben Gvir is Israel. The attack and commandeering of the Flotilla is an act of war upon peace, upon morality.
How the Zionist International Affiliates will narrate their crimes and brutality is displayed, a chance to define Israel.
Woe betide you, America, to have been conquered by the Zionist International and Affiliates, for you are a partner with the Ben Gvir’s of Israel. The conquest has made a Golem of you, America, as your now-sick actions coincided with the Greater Israel plan.
Netanyahu is at the very minute
signing it into israel law that any foreign national who is out to harm israel
loses their right to life
he said these terrorists will be killed
and this includes10,000 palestinians in prison and all food aid flotillas
LOL..
These jewes are cartoon Evil, that’s because the comic book they worship demands it..specifically joo-too-own a me..where the evil volcano Demon Jawee..exhorts them to slaughter… even the mules, just about everything except little toddlers who are to be child brides for the yiddin zealots.lolo..
you should read Red Symphony..for novel and cruel and unusual methods of torture devised by jewes for their perceived enemies the twentieth century roll call of death is quite substantial..this lot probably got off lightly kneeling before ol’ king solomon for a good whippin’ by benny the lash..
this is something they share with the fu manchu’s..who themselves love a bit of torture, and raised it to an art..
No No No…..
You have it all wRoNg.
Those are Christians kneeling to Jay Zeus with G*dz Chosenites watching over them them to keep them safe from (((Satanists ))).
It’s all good
jew mafia dreams to handle prisoners like
pharao did . but you are no king people . you
stem from the keralan Nambodiri offsprings
who rarely got women, so sodomy was common .
therefore your ancestors invented circumcision
in that hot climate to prevent deseases .
How ugly is the sound of the language they speak.
I watched the film “Tantura”
A film documenting what the swine did to the people of a village
when they moved into Palestine,
people that helped and welcomed them initially.
I had to turn the volume down and read the subtitles.
The Jews feel that they already have the world in their pocket and that nothing and nobody can stop them .
A kind of point of no return.
That’s why every day that passes they feel in less need to pretend to be what they are not.
They are feeling every day more comfortably “at home” in “their planet”.
“The video begins with a female activist shouting “Free Palestine,” 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.”
Strange heh? I read reports and saw pictures from an in full combat uniform Ozzi copper pepper spraying an over 80 year old granny when she was peacefully protesting and shouting: FREEDOM FROM FORCED VACCINATIONS. And hardly any outrage nor consequences neither from the Ozzie herd nor the “$heppard” that keeps them in their playpen.
When the nasty ones are ones own go-vermin it always helps to point the finger of Authority elsewhere and over the neighbours fence. Distractional entertainment as some say. Are Jews really that evil? Of course not. Its the satanists – Henry Makow made that quite clear.
…. to handle prisoners like Pharaoh did? Really auntie jawee?
So, why are they masked? Can only be one reason and that is they do not want to be recognized which is not what any actual public resistor would do. This looks like a hammed-up Zio film to both threaten and provoke Israeli opponents and to polarized support of the overwhelming majority of Israelis and Jews who support the genocide in Gaza, all Middle East land clearances, the invasion of Lebanon and the war in Iran.
Why does Israel what so bad to look like the bad guy? They no longer care because they believe they are masters at tuning the lead of opposition against them into gold. It is some kind of reverse psychology at work, and most likely an effort to provoke Arabs and Iranians into more resistance such that Israel will appear justified in its occupation and land grabs in Lebanon – which likely was in any case their main objective in starting the war with Iran and in the same breath invade Lebanon.
Our world is subject to an exclusive ownership class which has ruled through centuries of stealth, usurpations, intimidation, fear, unjust wars, and exploitations. We are unable to convert them on the basis of an adherence to higher values, the silver rule, or any broader neighbor principle. It has got to the stage that we no longer even have visitor status in our own nations, while that 1% keeps walking over everyone’s faces. They control all of our major systems. Either we are to be free human beings with basic rights intact and vigorously enforced or we are to be slaves and no better than animals they now regard us.
so what is the world doing about this ?
Jerusalem press said no flotilla detainees were allowed hospital treatment
as those taking food to the enemy are terrorists
new law changes will mean any future people trying to get food in will be killed
IDF says manpower shortage to deepen in coming months; there will soon be 80-90,000 draft dodgers.
Addressing the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, Brig. Gen. Shay Tayeb, head of the IDF Personnel Directorate’s Planning and Personnel Management Division, says that the number of missing troops is slated to soon rise from 12,000 to 17,000 — despite a small but insufficient increase in Haredi recruits from around 700 annually before the war to around 2,800 currently.
In addition, there are currently around 32,000 people classified as draft evaders, with an additional 50,000-plus who have received a so-called Order 12, sent to those who do not show up to enlist when required to do so.
The IDF’s manpower shortage is expected to grow considerably in the coming months, as the first cohort of troops serving a shortened enlistment of 30 months is discharged in January 2027, a senior IDF officer tells lawmakers.
