The Theater of Punishment

The treatment of the flotilla activists by Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir was shocking only to those who continue to clothe colonial violence in the soft language of security. There is now a mountain of evidence before humanity: Gaza has become not merely a place under siege but a geography of calculated despair, where starvation and bombardment have been converted into instruments of political management. The activists aboard the flotilla were not armed combatants, nor were they soldiers threatening invasion. They were international volunteers, human rights advocates, doctors, parliamentarians, and organisers attempting to break the siege imposed on Gaza. Their journey was political, moral, and humanitarian. Yet the Israeli state met them with humiliation, detention, and theatrical violence.

Quoting Zohar Regev on the latest Gaza flotilla:

"The interest aroused by the mistreatment of international activists shines a light on what happens to Palestinians on a daily basis"

She was the only Israeli among ~200 activists on the latest Gaza flotilla - 48 hours in a shipping-container prison, choked and dragged at Ashdod port.

"The goal is that they will keep talking about Gaza even when no bombs are falling on it"
