Through public shaming and ridicule, politicians whom the media and the socialist left define as “far right” are isolated. The most prominent are Trump and his team, along with Israelis – especially the two ministers Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir. They are not the world’s most polished politicians, which makes the media’s task easier.
When the flow of illegal migrants into the United States was at its peak, Ron DeSantis established a camp in the Everglades that became known as Alcatraz. The surrounding swampland, teeming with alligators, hardly invited escape.
Now Ben-Gvir has proposed using crocodiles to guard prison camps in the West Bank. A gefundenes Fressen for Norwegian News Agency (NTB). They will be able to live off this story for a long time.
Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir wants to deter Palestinian prisoners from escaping by surrounding the prison with crocodiles.
It was in December last year that Ben-Gvir first floated the idea of surrounding Ketziot Prison in southern Israel with crocodiles.
A large number of Palestinians are imprisoned there, and Ben-Gvir believes that crocodiles would deter anyone planning to escape.
However, the Israel Nature and Parks Authority opposed the idea, pointing out that Nile crocodiles are wild animals and cannot be used in such a manner.
Now, however, Israel’s Minister of Environmental Protection, Idit Silman, has changed the reptiles’ classification to that of farm animals.
A new regulation stipulates that the crocodiles may be bred provided this is done by “a security body”, which the Israeli Prison Service, under Ben-Gvir’s authority, is.
“Thinking of trying to escape? Think again,” Ben-Gvir wrote in a Facebook post in which he poses in an AI-generated image holding a crocodile on a leash.
“Ben-Gvir and Silman are working together to surround prisons with crocodiles,” reads the image caption.
