Footage shows activists handcuffed and lying on the ground with their heads down

→ Israeli occupation forces attacked 50 vessels carrying 428 people from 44 countries in international waters

On 18 November last year, an Israeli soldier named Harel Amshika posted a nine-image carousel on his personal Instagram account, accompanied by some reflections on his time spent fighting in Gaza.
His years spent fighting had "passed quickly, but left a big mark," he wrote. "Being a warrior in such a time is a privilege... Gratitude for sleepless nights... And a very long war. To friends who became family. To experiences that I never thought I would have, for better or worse."
Amshika went on to thank his unit, the Shaked Battalion, which falls under the Givati Brigade of the Israeli military. He paid tribute to the soldiers he knew who'd been killed in Gaza, with his bio singling out Ido Zano, a combat medic who also served in the Shaked Battalion.
One of the photos in the carousel showed a Palestinian man in an all-in-one white hazmat suit with "B4" scrawled just beneath his right shoulder in black marker pen.
The man's feet are bare. His hands and ankles are tied.
He is sitting against a cement block. He is blindfolded with what appears to be green cloth, or green tape.
Above him, sitting on top of an adjacent block, the bottom half of another man, his hands and feet also bound with plastic zip ties, can be seen.
Over this image, posted to Instagram, is a caption. It reads: "For sale".

Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., questioned acting Attorney General Todd Blanche about the Justice Department’s new “Anti-Weaponization Fund” on Tuesday in a hearing before a Senate Appropriations subcommittee.

On Monday, the Justice Department announced an “Anti-Weaponization Fund” as part of a settlement with Trump to end a lawsuit against the IRS over the leaking of his tax returns. The $1.7 billion fund would offer payouts to Trump allies who claim they had been unfairly targeted by the Justice Department under the Biden administration.

Government watchdogs and Democratic lawmakers blasted the creation of the fund as corruption, saying it could reward – with taxpayer money – people who had helped storm the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, among others.

Murray asked Blanche whether he thought it was appropriate for President Donald Trump to use Americans’ “tax dollars to set up a slush fund to enrich his own friends.”

She noted the economic pressures of inflation and gas prices, which have been on the rise for months due to the U.S. war in Iran.

Blanche disagreed with Murray’s characterization of the fund, but Murray doubled down.

“I just have to tell you, this is corruption that has never been more blatant,” Murray said.

“What is happening is, you write the check, Trump and his cronies cash it. American taxpayers, who are already being whacked with high prices, are gonna foot the bill. That's what we are seeing today," she added.

Blanche was invited to testify on Trump’s 2027 budget request for the Justice Department, but faced questions on a number of issues.

It’s a shame to see what is happening to the Sumud flotilla activist. They are being assaulted on camera by Israeli officials and no governmental entity is speaking out against Israel actions.

More needs to be done to help them.
