France has announced it has banned Israel’s national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir from entering the country after a video showed him mocking bound activists who had been detained by Israeli forces on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla. “From today, Itamar Ben-Gvir is banned from entering French territory” after “his reprehensible actions towards French and European citizens” who were part of the humanitarian flotilla, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said on X. He added that, with Italy, he was also calling for European Union-level sanctions against the far-right Israeli minister. The ban follows a global outcry after Ben-Gvir published a video on Wednesday showing the treatment of the activists from the flotilla in Israeli custody.

​In the video, Ayala Ben Gvir presents a white cake with a large illustration of a noose. The Hebrew text surrounding the image on the cake reads: "Congratulations to Minister Ben Gvir. Sometimes dreams come true." This is a reference to Ben Gvir’s political efforts to implement the death penalty for Palestinian prisoners.

The concept "banality of evil" was coined by Hannah Arendt in Eichmann in Jerusalem (1963 book) Her treatment of Eichmann strikes as more charitable, and morally neutral, than her irritated and quite judgmental comments about members of Jewish organizations who collaborated with him and other Nazi officials. Perhaps she expected more of Jews than of Nazis, hence her apparent double standard... – Revisiting the banality of evil by Paul Hollander

How does Israel, which has suffered the greatest crime of humanity, commit such atrocities in Palestine, repeating the massacre of Sabra and Shatila?

How does Europe, after so much Art, philosophy and trauma, essentially wash its hands of it, and continue to trade with criminals, despite its compassionate theatrics?

How is the country that gave birth to "Moby Dick" and "Apocalypse Now", governed by a semi-insane and ridiculous adventurer?

“Palestinians in Gaza have starved to death while surrounded on all sides by food and supplies that were prevented by Israel from getting in”
