Itamar Ben‑Gvir’s birthday cake featured a noose referring to death penalty law
Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel's National Security Minister, celebrated his 50th birthday with a cake decorated by a noose and the Hebrew slogan "Sometimes dreams come true," images show. The cake explicitly referenced a Knesset law passed this year that allows the death penalty for Palestinians convicted of terrorism, a measure Ben-Gvir promoted. The gesture signals official endorsement of executions for Palestinian detainees and heightens legal, diplomatic, and human rights concerns about escalation and accountability.
Israel’s National Security Minister Ben Gvir received a birthday cake decorated with a giant gold noose from his wife. The Hebrew text reads in part “sometimes dreams come true”—referring to Ben Gvir’s now-achieved dream of legalizing the death penalty for Palestinian prisoners in Israel.

Daniel Bendiksen59Disgusting and sick, and I can’t understand how after the holocaust this isn’t the most anti-Semitic policy there is!? Isn’t this disgracing the very memory of all those that perished by becoming genocidal maniacs themselves?
Max28If you wrote a story with bad guys who behave like that, people would just laugh. I mean, there's being evil, and there's advertising it on a birthday cake. It's like alternate universe stuff.
Lynn F-bomb15Oh. My. God. The Israeli government makes Jews all over the world less safe.
globalcatastrophe.bsky.social15Q: Why is the Israeli regime filled with such sicko fuckers? A: The Israeli people put them in power. Q: What does that say about the people of Israel? A: 🤷
Kat K 🐾🐾13Some Israeli’s seem kind of psychopath-y
Brooke Harrington12FROM. HIS. WIFE? I thought some protester presented him with the cake to rattle him. On reading your post, my jaw hit the floor so hard it broke into tiny pieces and rolled under the couch.
jilly12What a thoughtful gift for a psychopathic murderer.
bdm101.bsky.social8With each passing day, my enmity for Israel grows deeper. This state is out of control. This story and the one in the NYT as bout their Gaza strategy for Southern Lebanon is unconscionable and detestable. STOP FUNDING AND AIDING THIS ISREAL!
CPinx7Oh, the sickness. The depravity.

K. Moore 🦋📚🎼6This is so sick. Celebrating death by birthday cake.
Updog6Israelis overwhelmingly support this guy and everything he does btw. He's not some rogue nutcase, he has popular support in spades.
xzogdrothx6imagine any other politician in any other country behaving like this about any other ethnic group. you can't, because in any other situation this is unimaginable.
Accountabilabuddy🔻5Under any other circumstance this kind of cake would be interpreted as: "Divorce is such a hassle. I'd rather see you swing." But everyone in the picture being an irredeemable monster puts everything in a whole other context.
Johnny Ehm4As sick as this is, don't overlook the fact that Israel forces routinely murder civilians on a daily basis. This is just a small creep forward to legally kill the ones they happen to have in custody.
Just a Guy Drawing Stuff4Well, now I know how I want him to go, at least.
Ultrapop4They have become Hitler and his Nazis. What horrific human beings. While @schumer.senate.gov and the other aipac dependents send these monsters more weapons.
Comrade DiaMat4Israel won't change even if they remove Netanyahu. It's entire existence is fascist. From Nakba in 1948 to today.
Noam4To be clear: Ben Gvir is part of a very small minority fascist party that is in the government (and appeased by the coalition) because Netanyahu failed to win 4 elections in a row and needed his seats to break through so he wouldn't go to jail for corruption. His views aren't how all Israelis think
bobgoblin700.bsky.social3They want to call these pigs civilized is crazy.
Heidi Haaland2And they wonder why support from the American public continues to drop.
Donna Markland2He is absolutely grotesque. Every person celebrating this death decision is evil. But are you sure about this photo? Looks a little AI to me. Where is the source?
Harry Campbell2What a despicable pair. May they rot in hell.
Adam Sakauye2I don't want to be offensive, but like, this is basically what Zone of Interest was about, right? The banal domestic life of an architect of torture and death, kept separate from their work by a thin wall?
Nice to meet you.2Capital punishment is a legal penalty in Israel and has only been imposed twice in the history of the state, but I think that number is going to explode like a reporter in Gaza.
West Coast TJ❌👑2Oh my god. Disgusting. Like a Trump family member.
Nevermore 🇪🇺🇵🇸🇺🇦🇲🇽🇨🇦2Israel is a sick society. Racists, supremacists, bloodlust mfs.
Ranryu2They both deserve to swing
Husband Tattooer Boyfriend2no, its a huge drop of piss., signifying his worth.
Amy Simoneau2And the smile on their faces. unfathomable.
