In Zionist Terrorism: Israel's National Security Minister Ben-Gvir humiliates detained flotilla activists on camera

https://kolektiva.media/w/siNbs3vBQGfjYJ2C5NsyBu

Adalah's (the Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel) lawyers have begun providing legal assistance to the detained activists and are demanding their unconditional release.

[...[ "Following the illegal interception of the flotilla in international waters and the illegal abduction of over 400 activists from around the world, Israel is adopting a policy of abuse and humiliation against activists who oppose its ongoing crimes against the Palestinian people. These events come after Adalah has documented numerous past cases of violent treatment toward activists in previous flotillas, for which Israel has borne no responsibility."

[...] "Our lawyers, together with a dedicated volunteer team, entered the port facilities in recent hours, providing them with legal counsel, and will continue to demand their immediate and unconditional release. The international community must take urgent steps to protect the flotilla members from this brutal and illegal conduct by Israeli authorities."

1. At the port, standing over the handcuffed activists:

"נגמרה הקייטנה, מי שפועל נגד מדינת ישראל ימצא מדינה נחושה, עם ישראל חי"

"The summer camp is over. Whoever acts against the State of Israel will find a determined state — Am Yisrael Chai."

2. Statement from Ben-Gvir's office accompanying the video/photos:

"מצורף בזאת וידאו וסטילס לשימוש חופשי מסיור של השר בן גביר יחד עם לוחמי הכליאה וכוחות משטרה וצה״ל בנמל אשדוד בתפיסת פעילי המשט"

"Attached hereby are video and still images for free use from Minister Ben-Gvir's tour together with prison guards and police and IDF forces at Ashdod port during the seizure of flotilla activists."

3. In response to Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar's criticism:

"יש כאלה בממשלה שעדין לא הבינו איך צריך להתנהג עם תומכי טרור. מצופה משר החוץ של ישראל להבין כי ישראל הפסיקה להיות ילד כאפות. מי שמגיע לשטח שלנו לתמוך בטרור ולהזדהות עם חמאס יחטוף ולא ניתן לו את הלחי השניה"

"There are those in the government who still haven't understood how to behave with terror supporters. It is expected of Israel's Foreign Minister to understand that Israel has stopped being a pushover. Whoever comes to our territory to support terror and identify with Hamas will get hit — and we won't turn the other cheek."

Via Haaretz:

In the video, a security forces member is seen pushing a female activist to the floor as she shouts "Free Palestine," while shouts of "Quiet, quiet" are heard in the background. Ben-Gvir, standing nearby, is filmed telling the security forces "Good job." Following this, the minister was documented waving an Israeli flag and calling out "Welcome to Israel, we are the owners of the house." Later, flotilla activists are seen on their knees, their heads bowed downward, with the national anthem playing in the background. Finally, Ben-Gvir is filmed walking among the activists as a woman's screams are heard in the background. "Don't be affected by their screams, don't be affected," he said.
