🚨 Occupation authorities have approved a plan proposed by “minister of interior security” Itamar Ben Gvir to restrict Palestinians, including those living within lands occupied since 1948, from entering Al-Aqsa Mosque during Ramadan.

The plan imposes restrictions similar to those imposed on Palestinians from the West Bank during Ramadan: Palestinians from Al-Quds and the occupied interior under 50 years old will be banned entirely from entering the vicinity of Al-Aqsa Mosque. Prayer within the mosque will be heavily restricted or outright banned, at the discretion of occupation authorities.

This is a highly provocative measure designed to target all Palestinians, not just those living in the West Bank, and has the potential to further ignite the situation outside of Gaza.

Israel’s far-right national security minister has reportedly asked whether the military could kill some of the Palestinians taken captive instead of arresting them — the latest comment by one of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s multiple extremist cabinet members that dehumanizes residents of Gaza.

The comments by Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir were revealed Friday by Hebrew outlets Channel 12 and Ynet, and translated to English by the Times of Israel. The Israeli Defense Force’s chief of staff, Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi, briefed ministers at a security cabinet meeting last week about recent operations in Gaza, where Israel has been carrying out a military offensive for almost seven months now in response to Hamas’ attack on Oct. 7 that killed about 1,200 people and captured roughly 250. During the briefing, Halevi said that hundreds of Palestinians were recently arrested after surrendering to the military. “Why are there so many arrests?” Ben-Gvir allegedly asked. “Can’t you kill some? Do you want to tell me they all surrender? What are we to do with so many arrested? It’s dangerous for the soldiers.” Halevi was perplexed at the question, according to the Times of Israel, responding: “Dangerous for who?”

“We don’t shoot people who come out with their hands up. We shoot those who fight us,” the IDF official reportedly told Ben-Gvir. “There’s no dilemma here. Those who surrender, we arrest.”

[...] Friday was not the first time that Ben-Gvir reportedly called for executing Palestinian captives. Earlier this month, the minister posted on social media that applying the death penalty to some captives would help address the issue of prison overcrowding. The comment came after his proposal to build nearly a thousand additional “prison places” for Palestinian captives was approved. “The additional construction will allow the prison service to take in more terrorists and will bring a partial solution to the overcrowding crisis,” he wrote, according to a translation. “The death penalty for terrorists is the right solution to the overcrowding problem, until then — glad that the government approved the proposal I brought.”

In February, Ben-Gvir also called for the IDF to shoot Palestinian women and children in Gaza in order to “protect” the troops. “There cannot be a situation in which children and women approach us from the wall,” he told Halevi, according to Israeli media. “Anyone who approaches in order to harm security must receive a bullet, otherwise we will see Oct. 7 again.”

Under international law, killing prisoners of war is considered a war crime. Israel already stands accused at the international level of committing genocide against Palestinians, which it vehemently denies. But the indiscriminate killing that has led to more than 34,000 dead Gazans, the settler violence in the occupied West Bank, the blocking of life-saving aid and the dehumanizing language used to describe Palestinians has drawn the ire of human rights groups and a growing number of countries — including Israel’s biggest ally and weapons supplier, the United States. The Biden administration has made its position clear that it opposes Netanyahu’s far-right cabinet members — including Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, Dichter and Ben-Gvir — who call for the expulsion of Palestinians in Gaza and the return of Jewish settlements. Ben-Gvir specifically faced anger from within the Israeli government in February after telling The Wall Street Journal that Biden is hindering their military campaign, and that former President Donald Trump would allow more freedom to fight in Gaza if he were in power.

Genocidal maniac Israel Apartheid State National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir asks Israel Occupation Forces to shoot dead captured Palestinians.

You know, I've heard this argument a lot from Mehdi Hasan and others before and certainly after 10/7, and I feel like it wildly mischaracterizes what Biden et al are doing. Biden is not doing this stuff "for Benjamin Netanyahu", he's doing them for Israel, a country which contains more people than Benjamin Netanyahu and Itamar Ben-Gvir. If France elected Marine Le Pen as its president and then subsequently was subject to attack by Islamists, I would expect the US to rush in to help its ally there even if the president was a racist and a fascist like Le Pen is. Now, arguably the Biden admin could do what Chuck Schumer did and go "we support Israel and will help it defend itself from Hamas et al, but we want someone else to be PM" but I can understand why they don't do that, as that very well might lose them any influence with the current government.

Itamar Ben-Gvir is being a fucking bloodthirsty pox again.

"The Ashkenazi are oppressing the poor Mizrahi Palestinian Jews who are the real Jews, who I'm sure are totally against the state of Israel too" "Oh hey there"

L’infecte supremaciste juif, Itamar Ben Gvir, insiste pour qu’il y ait une réponse forte sur l’Iran.

Pour lui, deux bases ont été touchées et il faut donc des représailles.

Les 2 Kooks ou le nazisme sioniste

Ilan Pappé fait partie de ce qu’on a appelé les «nouveaux historiens» de l’entité sioniste, c’est-à-dire des chercheurs qui sur la base d’un travail classique d’historiens ont remis en cause le conte fabriqué par la propagande sioniste et qui a été vendu aux opinions publiques du monde occidental. Parmi les mythes que ces historiens ont contredit on a la fameuse thèse selon laquelle en 1948 les…

Itamar Ben-Gvir says that he will resign if Netanyahu doesn’t resume fighting in Gaza. (Gift link)

It randomly occurred to me that the people who hate Ben Gvir and Smotrich et al (and vice versa) are your typical left-wing to center-left Israeli and American Zionist Jews, because to pro-Palestinian types our deep political differences are irrelevant

The US is a strange place

At this point I would not be surprised to find out Ben-Gvir & co. paid Bedouin crime syndicates or pretended to be them while committing crimes against people in the Negev as part of their ploy: they wanted people to get sick of protection rackets, car theft, etc., so that they would hold their nose and vote for the ‘tough on crime’ candidate. Now said candidate does everything in his power as a member of the cabinet to wreak havoc on anyone who doesn’t at the very least tacitly approve of his fantasies of ethnic cleansing, but by this point it’s too late for the sane majority of Israelis to stop him.

We’re trapped.
