France bans far‑right Israeli minister Itamar Ben‑Gvir
France barred Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir from entering French territory. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said Ben-Gvir's conduct threatened and intimidated French nationals and activists after Ben-Gvir shared video showing detained Gaza-bound flotilla participants bound, shoved, and taunted at Ashdod Port. The ban signals a tougher French stance on protecting its citizens and risks heightening diplomatic friction between France and Israel over handling of activists and aid to Gaza.
After arguing against sanctions on Itamar Ben Gvir on the EU level just a few weeks ago, the French government has just banned him from ever entering France. Poland banned him yesterday.
I find it important to note that these countries often argue against the barest minimum of accountability or response to Israel's actions until Israel makes it literally impossible for these countries to do nothing. This is how cowardly Europe, and the US and Canada of course, are.
I guess his unspeakable behavior against Palestinians didn't count.
those posts were pretty stupid, but i guess fair enough it wasnt clear to him that would be an uncrossable line given whats happened
There are not many heads that one would want to see on a spike
Should invite him one more time. Just one. Couple of world orgs want to talk to him
"I can excuse genocide of Palestinians, but I draw the line at harming Europeans that I like!"
If Europe weren’t cowardly they could fuck them and a bunch of others with SWIFT.
Let him in, arrest him and slap him around the head as he reminds me of Benny Hill.
why are they banning him?? this way if there will be an arrest order against him they minimize the chance of him being arrested.
National security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir proudly shows a video where the Israeli military is abusing international activists who were trying to reach Gaza with aid. Israel has become what their former oppressors were to them. The infamy in that is inexpressibly shameful. youtu.be/yptx3K75epQ
Horrendous that a people, who endured the Holocaust, would then turn around and engage in the ethnic cleansing of another people.😡
Ben-Gvir is a ghoul and a fascist nazi asshole.
Nothing will happen to him for this plainly incendiary behavior. WTF is Israel showing the world with this stuff?
Shameful. Disgusting. Abhorrent. Be-Gvir is a spineless, feckless POS!!!
