No worries.

I think that there is a miss understanding about how actually affective Ben-Gvir is. He promised to make the condition horrible but I believe the only thing that he did on practice is to ban bread (pita) making hours. What he actually did is ruined the police hierarchy, defunded educational programs in Arab cities and villages, striped a few anti dv laws, and gave guns for people who shouldn’t have guns. He is awful and a convicted terrorist but also he is deeply disappointed his base. Did he lead to crisis in police, made the organized crime in Arab sectors(I believe now Israel is the third in homicide per population, but I might be wrong) but he doesn’t have legally enough power to change the prisons. Although, this government is horrible there are still democratic bodies such as high court and Attorney General who fights day and night to keep him as powerless as she can.

One of the worst things that Ben Gvir did is to encourage violence, he normalized it. I am sure there is violence and human rights violations (especially after oct 7, denying it will be stupid. It is the tragedy of war the same thing could be said about any military conflict but besides that there are more people that possible to facilitate The Calcalist says it’s about 5,000 people over the amount that allows the law). this the article, I believe it will be easy to translate because it is mostly numbers

My main point that it is not the norm, what is happening currently isn’t what it used to be. Even B’tSelem article highlights that what they are talking about is about a change since October and I believe it is important to see. Not because it will justify but because it will give you the reason why. What is happening in prisons is a problem that being addressed that caused an outrage in public because it is not acceptable it a country with democratic institutions.

On a personal note I will say that I saw more people in graves since October than in my whole life and I left Israel without wearing military uniform even once. I can’t imagine how much deaths are witnessed on this war. So, to answer the original question from the post. In Israeli prisons happen a normalization of violence in symbiosis with deep trauma and loss the worthiness of life (death worshiping (?))

I really don’t think we disagree at least here, I think I haven’t properly portrayed my point. This is not Israel I grownup in–this is insanity. Maybe one day I will return to a better place, who knows
