    Gvir should face this at the very least, every day for the rest of his life. justice is not a natural phenomena, we have to make it and uphold it as a culture. would love for that to be possible some day.

      No he should not. No one should have to face abuse like this daily in prison. He should be locked up and treated better than he would treat others

    Stop calling them pro-palestine. It’s antithetical to what’s really happening. People are against genocide. That’s it, and they’re being deported, and shamed for it. For fucks sake, we teach in schools about the holocaust, and say shit like “never again”, all the while providing these fuckers with financial assistance and weapons to commit genocide.

    For the people who don’t know who he is

    Ben-Gvir is a settler in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, whose “political background lies in Kahanism - a violently racist movement that supports the expulsion of Palestinians from their lands”. He has a long history of anti-Arab activism leading to dozens of indictments and at least eight convictions of crimes including incitement to racism and support for, as well as possession of propaganda of, a terrorist organization (the now illegal political party Kach). As a lawyer, he is known for defending Jews accused of Jewish extremist terrorism on trial in Israel.
