Ben-Gvir bragged in January about disrupting efforts to secure a Gaza ceasefire and at the same time pressed to “completely stop the transfer of humanitarian aid and fuel, electricity and water to Gaza.” Implemented weeks later by the Israeli government, this policy of stopping humanitarian aid is leading directly to malnutrition and “catastrophic danger” for the people of Gaza, particularly children. Fleisher has promoted the dispossession of the Palestinian people with his settlement activity and vilified Archbishop Desmond Tutu – one of the great freedom fighters of the last 50 years – as an “anti-Semite.” Writing just hours after Tutu’s death, Fleisher bragged of the Israeli apartheid state: “Tutu is gone but Israel is still here.” As part of a plea bargain, Hacohen was sentenced to three months in prison for the “spies affair.” Hacohen and other extremists had established an “outpost war room” to monitor movement by the Israeli army that might lead to the dismantlement of settlement outposts that not only international law regards as illegal but that the Israeli government regards as illegal too.
