At every turn, the behaviour of the average Israeli Jew has consistently reinforced the belief that the genocidal actions of the Israeli military are a mere expression of the popular Jewish will.

A group of religious Jews from a synagogue in the illegal Har Homa settlement in occupied Jerusalem were taken on a “safari tour” of shackled and brutalised Palestinian detainees inside one of the highest security prisons so they could amuse themselves at the expense of the helpless Palestinians. The amusement trip was followed by Torah lessons and topped off with an elaborate lunch. The trip was organised by none other than the Commissioner of the Israel Prison Service, Chief Warden Kobi Yaakobi, himself a longtime regular worshipper at the synagogue.
“On the morning of the tour, a bus on behalf of the Israel Prison Service arrived in the Har Homa neighbourhood, collected about twenty synagogue worshippers — including the synagogue’s rabbi — and continued on to Nitzan Prison near Ramla,” Israeli outlet Shomrim reported on Sunday.
It continued:
The visit began with a tour of the prison’s various criminal wings, during which the worshippers also saw inmates. The peak of the visit came shortly afterward, when the group was taken into the country’s most secure security wing, where Nukhba terrorists arrested after the October 7 massacre are being held. Those present on the tour said the detainees were shown to them lying on the floor in shackles. A source in the Prison Service said that this is how the detainees are held when operational activity is taking place in the wing.
Having feasted their eyes on the inhumane suffering of the Palestinians in one of their most notorious dungeons, the religious Jews had their queries answered in a Q&A held at the facility before being treated to a generous lunch spread.
The worshippers had questions, which were answered by the prison staff, after which they continued to a lunch specially arranged for them at the prison. In conversations held afterward, the worshippers expressed admiration for the generous hospitality, which, according to them, was reflected in the lunch.
