The project came after Environmental Protection Minister Idit Silman decided last week to classify the Nile crocodile as a “domesticated wild animal,” despite objections from professional officials in her ministry.

The office of far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said Silman’s decision “paved the way for the project,” adding that the “pilot phase of the crocodile prison has officially begun” in one wing of Ketziot prison.

Ben-Gvir previously published videos from the special wing at Ketziot to show harsh detention conditions, including preventing detainees from leaving the wing, depriving them of blankets and food, and forcing them to sleep on iron sheets.

It's such a classic evil villain move. Have you ever heard a story where the good guys build a crocodile moat?

Also, doesn't it make them seem kind of incompetent that they couldn't use modern technology and prison technology to keep people from escaping their prison? Best thing they could think of is a crocodile moat? That's some neanderthal problem solving energy. Literally going out of their way to show themselves as being a stone age culture.

The demonstration of dumb senseless authoritarian violence and control is all Israeli society coherently wants at this late stage of Israel's descent into fascism.

Accusing 'all of Israeli society' and thus accusing all the people in a country discredits you completely.

[-] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 days ago

The entirety of Israel society is deeply complicit in the Genocide Of Palestinians, that is an indisputable fact.

Does that mean I am generalizing everybody in Israel? No, but it doesn mean that every Israeli who isn't a Palestinian is irrevocably complicit in the mass murder of innocent human beings who are their neighbors.

And the Germans and Austrians, are they all complicit for the Nazis? Are the Chinese all complicit for the genocide in East Turkestan, Tibet, and against other minorities? And all the other atrocities in the world today and in history? Are all the citizens guilty by association?

Why are you bringing these other things into the conversation?

I am talking about a small country that is committing a Genocide and has been for a very long time in a very small area and in a fashion that nobody who is actually paying attention in Israel could mistake as anything other than Genocide unless they simply do not want to grapple with the truth.

Yes I am concerned with Genocide wherever it is happening, but Israel is not only pursuing Genocide at a horrifying rate (and is utterly reliant on my countries weapons, money and political support to an absurd degree to do so) it is dragging the rest of the world into WW3 by refusing to stop expanding their Genocide into Lebanon and thus making there no exit ramp for the Iran War.

You are not answering my question. Are the Germans, Chinese, and all the others also guilty by association?

[-] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 days ago

Why are you insistent about not talking about Israeli complicity in ethnic cleansing livestreamed for the world to see?

[-] tardigrade@scribe.disroot.org 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Oh, no, I don't reject to accuse Israel's government of genocide. But why are you refusing to answer the question. Are the Germans, Chinese, and all the others also guilty by association?

[-] shani66@ani.social 3 points 2 days ago

Stop this stupid run around, you know damn well the Israeli public supports the genocide.

[-] tardigrade@scribe.disroot.org 2 points 2 days ago

This is not the point here. Your sock puppet claims there is something guilt by association. Why are you refusing to answer the question.? Are the Germans, Chinese, and all the others also guilty by association?

[-] shani66@ani.social 1 points 2 days ago

They've never claimed that you fucking idiot, the Israeli public supports the genocide overwhelmingly.

[-] tardigrade@scribe.disroot.org 2 points 2 days ago

Thank you for your kind words.

Are the Germans, Chinese, and all the others also guilty by association?

It’s such a classic evil villain move. Have you ever heard a story where the good guys build a crocodile moat?

I had some thought, Reading the article made a lot of sense.

The office of far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said Silman’s decision “paved the way for the project,” adding that the “pilot phase of the crocodile prison has officially begun” in one wing of Ketziot prison.

Ben-Gvir previously published videos from the special wing at Ketziot to show harsh detention conditions, including preventing detainees from leaving the wing, depriving them of blankets and food, and forcing them to sleep on iron sheets.

Anything Benny-G does it evil villain shit,

That's just incredibly rude yo Jewish™ culture. I bet you don't even believe in the right to rape prisoners. How do antisemites like you even sleep?

[-] cavitationfetishist2@quokk.au 2 points 2 days ago

Also, they had to use endangered crocodiles. Like they couldn't import from Florida?

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

American crocodiles are also almost endangered. They are in the "Vulnerable" subcategory of "Threatened" that is one step above the subcategory of "Endangered."

Not to mention the fact that moving animals to a new continent rarely works out well for anyone. Just look at Pablo Escobar's hippo infestation.

[-] cavitationfetishist2@quokk.au 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Yes! Hippo infestation is fun to even say! It's wonderful! More of that!

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

They're over breeding and destroying the environment. Not fun for the locals

[-] cavitationfetishist2@quokk.au 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Locals can fucking cope. Or we could help them accommodate hippo infestation.

I get to say 'hippo infestation'. That's all that matters. I lost my home to much less globally beneficial shit.

This is inexpensive and effective.
