Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel’s national security minister, is planning to present Benjamin Netanyahu with a plan to detain the activists in harsh “terrorist-level” conditions in the Ktzi’ot and Damon detention centres for females, according to Israel Hayom, one of Israel’s biggest newspapers…

Israel Hayom quoted individuals close to Mr Ben-Gvir saying: “Following several weeks at Ktzi’ot and Damon, they’ll be sorry about the time they arrived here. We must eliminate their appetite for another attempt.”

    There is something particularly disgusting about how right-wing talking heads have latched onto this fantasy of punishing Greta Thunberg, for many years now.

    Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel’s national security minister, is planning to present Benjamin Netanyahu with a plan to detain the activists in harsh “terrorist-level” conditions in the Ktzi’ot and Damon detention centres for females, according to Israel Hayom, one of Israel’s biggest newspapers.

    “Following several weeks at Ktzi’ot and Damon, they’ll be sorry about the time they arrived here. We must eliminate their appetite for another attempt.”

    What is wrong with these people? You can literally hear the quickening of their breath when they voice their torture fantasies like that.

    The activists were also offered the chance to watch footage of Hamas atrocities from Oct 7, which they refused, according to Israel Katz, Israel’s defence minister.

    I heard this one before. Like it was some sort of gotcha. Like anybody even claimed that Hamas killing people is OK.

    Fucking perverts.

      They acted the same way about Palestinian woman Ahed Tamimi. Her cousin was shot by soldiers. She confronted the soldiers and slapped one in front of reporters. The Israeli far right went wild with outrage in the days after, with op-Ed’s calling for her to be punished for the insult and made an example of, with some even saying she should be sexually humiliated, and her entire family was arrested after the pressure.

        DING DING DING! You hit the nail on the head! I still remember the oil rig workers in the Dakotas who were giving out stickers depicting Greta being sexually assaulted. This is when she was still underage IIRC. They didn’t like her climate change activism and fantasies of grape are how they reacted to a child pushing for a better world.

        Yeah I know it (I sure hope you didn’t link it from his own site).

        But I’ve seen worse.

        Actual...

        … rape fantasies drawn on stickers. Long before she even turned 18.

        I mean, there’s always going to be a couple extreme assholes, but the general stance is surprisingly commonplace and they (men of course) don’t seem to realize how transparent it is.

    So Israel is now announcing its intent to torture EU citizens?

    What comes next, invading Cyprus?

        They will loudly announce that in about 2 month’s time they will recognize Greta’s right not to be imprisioned but only if she stops proclaiming her innocence.

    You can tell how the Telegraph feels from the juvenile choice of photography that makes her look somewhat bizarre, classic right-wing rag.

      Yeah, the photo they choose is always a great litmus test for whether or not the article will be biased in one way or another. If an article has a flattering photo, it’s probably going to be praising the subject of the photo. If it has them looking silly, (and to be clear, in this photo Greta looks like she’s failing to hold in a fat shit while she waddles to the toilet), then it’ll probably be critical of them.

      My guess is that these extreme right-wing politicians have their fan base in Israel who will clap (and enjoy the righteous feeling of punishing a woman who deserves it stirring their loins). And that’s who the speeches are for.

      And maybe they haven’t realized that the whole world is listening to their disgusting display of savagery now.

      For the sake of Palestinians I hope they figure it out soon, although it would be nice to see them walk deeper into the trap they set for themselves.

      [ I got distracted. This was supposed to be a direct reply to your statement - now it’s indirect. ]

        They know, they just don’t care anymore. Same as with Nazi Germany.

    This is meant to scare her and her people, that’s it. If they really wanted to kidnap her it sure as fuck wouldn’t be projected on the news lmao

      Besides, kidnapping someone like Greta is bound to start massive movement and might actually force Europe to actually do something.

      I doubt Israel want to stir that pot. They’ll probably scare them off again and call it a win.

    I know it’s the Torygraph, and the media always use the worst possible photo when it’s people they don’t like, but come on…

    They’ve made the poor girl look like Dana Carvey taking a shit.

    We must eliminate their appetite for another attempt

    instead of “it is advisable to discourage future attempts” that could be a more professional strategic tone… their language sound to me more like a mob boss in a mafia film, I am probably biased, yes, but that’s the tone I would identify among fascists rather than among objective beings handling a problem, full of passionate words as if their strength would be based on that… anyway.

        I am not meaning that an eufemististic neolingua substitution would improve the morality of those actions or alike, it does not change the intended purpose behind that phrase, execrable in any case.

        My point goes in a different direction, highlighting their viciousness, their emotional engagement, rage and hate, not cold state machinery.

        Imagine the phrase I quoted in the following context: there is an organised uprising of progrom attempts carried out by a racist centralised collective against a minority and the state wants to take actions to stop the possibility of such progrom. I cannot imagine their version being used but my example.

    Eliminate her appetite for another attempt just means they fully intend on letting her go.
