Itamar Ben Gvir visits flotilla activists abused in Israeli detention

Описание: Footage shared by right-wing Israeli security minister Itamar Ben Gvir shows him visiting a detention center in Ashdod port where activists from a Gaza-bound flotilla were taken to.

“They came with so much pride, like great heroes. Look at how they look now… Not heroes, nothing at all. Terror supporters,” says Ben Gvir, looking at more than 100 lined up activists sitting face down towards the ground.

The flotilla activists were arrested and taken to Israel earlier this week after Israeli forces illegally intercepted their vessels in international waters off Cyprus. Israeli soldiers opened fire on one of the boats, targeting activists with rubber bullets.
