LONDON: An Israeli court on Sunday temporarily blocked plans by the national security minister to install crocodile-filled moats around Ketziot Prison, following a legal challenge centered on the reptiles’ welfare that has also reignited concerns over the treatment of Palestinian detainees.
This reminded me of an infuriating conversation I had with a “militant vegan” zionist from Israel. They went on and on about animal rights but suddenly those concepts didn’t apply when it came to prisoners or Palestinians more broadly (which they said most were terrorists anyway and therefor undeserving of any rights)
That moment when a self-proclaimed vegan forgets that humans are animals
Genuinely wild how frequently this happens.
There are Palestinians who have given up crucial supplies for animals also being attacked by Israel. Like a lot of blank + Zionist labels, a vegan Zionist is inherently incompatible with its labels.
What do they think of Israel bombing that turtle habitat and researcher in Lebanon or Israel bombs not magically avoiding killing innocent animals?
