Israel Arrests Prosecutor for Leaked 'Revenge' Video
The mainstream media reports Israel arrested an ex-military prosecutor after a video surfaced where he called for 'revenge' and 'erasing the seed of Amalek' in Gaza. This particular rhetoric, rooted in biblical genocide, is frequently invoked by figures like Prime Minister Netanyahu himself, who publicly cited 'Amalek' in October 2023, effectively legitimizing a campaign of collective punishment.
The same words from a public figure are 'vigorous language' (when reported by US media), but from a 'rogue' individual, it's apparently a crime worthy of arrest. One might ask, what exactly was he arrested for: the content of his statement, or the fact that he said the quiet part out loud for the cameras? The Israeli government has a long history of employing such inflammatory rhetoric to
galvanize public support for actions against Palestinians, often unburdened by the same legal scrutiny applied to inconvenient truth-tellers. The arrest appears less about curbing incitement and more about controlling the narrative, ensuring that calls for collective punishment come from approved pulpits, not unauthorized YouTube channels.
