Itamar Ben Gvir, Israel’s far-right national security minister, has called for the execution of Palestinian prisoners to ease overcrowding in the country’s jails.
Writing on social media, he welcomed a decision by the Israeli army to build 936 additional prison places for “security prisoners”. “The additional construction will allow the prison service to take in more terrorists, and will bring a partial solution to the prison crisis that exists in the Shabak,” he said, referring to the Israeli Prison Service.
“The death penalty for terrorists is the right solution to the incarceration problem, until then - glad that the government approved the proposal I brought.”
During a visit by members of the Public Defender’s Office, squalid conditions were noted, including “intolerable overcrowding”, with less than three square metres of space per person, poor sanitary conditions, pest issues, inadequate ventilation, and a lack of basic necessities for the incarcerated.
We’ve started going full death camp yet people still don’t believe that there’s a genocide. There are no words to describe just how truly disgusting that is.
He even used the word solution. They don’t even give a fuck anymore
Israel is going to build camps to concentrate their prisoners.
I wonder if they will concentrate all of the prisoners in one spot before they implement Ben’s solution
He just wants a bit more Living Space.
בית גידול?
When the Nazis were invading Eastern Europe prior to WWII they told the other European powers they only needed “lebensraum”-“living space.” This comment thread is pointing out the similarities between the actions of contemporary Israel against Palestinians with the actions of Nazi Germany against Jews and other groups they considered “undesirable.”
I know very well what it is. I just wrote the same thing in Hebrew. Why translate Lebensraum to Living Space instead of בית גידול?

Most people here don’t speak Hebrew or German.
With so many prisoners it’s gotta be hard to process all of those death penalties. I wonder if there is a fast and efficient way to apply the death penalty. Maybe they can do it in groups
They could look into repurposing farming equipment and supplies given all the shortages they’re experiencing
Everyone knows that gases are the most convenient option, too. None of the logistical issues of solids and none of the messiness of liquids.
But when I compare this genocide to the Holocaust I get called an antisemite
those people are saying that in bad faith. they’re wiping their asses with the memory of the holocaust, not you
He means “hostages”.
“Human Shields”
This ass hat is a complete troll. He’s like Israel’s Lauren Boebert. Both need to go.
This ass hat is a complete troll.
Very real chance he gets what he wants. Boebert’s a bomb-flinging dick-sucking freak, but she’s more a part of the theatrical wing of the Republican Party. The MTGs and Ben Sasses are much closer to the center of the party and hold exactly the same views.
Contrary to Boebert Ben Gvir is a convicted terrorist. In fact he has been indicted 53 times and convicted 7 times.
The real problem: Ben Gvir is a critical part of the coalition that keeps Netanyahu in power, meaning his has significant influence over israel law.
Ben Gvir has faced criminal charges of hate speech against Arabs and was known to have a portrait in his living room of Israeli-American mass murderer and Jewish extremist Baruch Goldstein, who massacred 29 Palestinian Muslim worshipers and wounded 125 others in Hebron, in the 1994 Cave of the Patriarchs massacre.
So he’s trying to be Himmler.
