Let me introduce you to Itamar Ben-Gvir, the leader of Israel’s far-right Jewish Power (Otzma Yehudit) party, the minister of national security, and an almost cartoonishly(卡通式地，夸张地) evil man. You’ll have heard his name before: he made international news when he filmed himself taunting bound activists who had been detained trying to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza.(你以前一定听说过他的名字：当他拍摄自己嘲弄被拘留的、试图向加沙运送人道援助的被捆绑活动人士时，他登上了国际新闻。) But you might not be familiar with many of his recent shocking comments, because they haven’t been widely covered(报道，覆盖) by much of the US media.
让我向你介绍伊塔马尔·本-格维尔，以色列极右翼政党“犹太力量”（Otzma Yehudit）的领导人，国家安全部长，一个几乎像卡通人物一样邪恶的人。你以前一定听说过他的名字：当他拍摄自己嘲弄被拘留的、试图向加沙运送人道主义援助的被捆绑的活动人士时，他登上了国际新闻。但你可能对他最近许多令人震惊的言论并不熟悉，因为这些言论没有被美国媒体广泛报道。
Let’s start with an AI-generated video that Ben-Gvir posted on Twitter/X on Sunday and then deleted. It shows portly(肥胖的，发福的) Palestinian prisoners being loaded on to(被装载到…上) a conveyor belt and going into a detention camp, then emerging emaciated(消瘦的，憔悴的). The caption is “we promised – we delivered!(我们承诺过——我们兑现了！)” which seems to be a reference to the national security minister’s promise to worsen conditions for Palestinian prisoners. An ambitious goal, considering conditions are already hellish(地狱般的，可怕的): Israeli human rights group B’Tselem(以色列人权组织B’Tselem) has likened(把…比作) the prisons where Palestinians are kept to “torture camps”.
让我们从他周日发布在Twitter/X上然后又删除的一段AI生成视频说起。视频中，身材肥胖的巴勒斯坦囚犯被装上传送带，送进拘留营，出来时骨瘦如柴。配文是“我们承诺过——我们兑现了！”这似乎是指这位国家安全部长曾承诺要恶化巴勒斯坦囚犯的待遇。考虑到条件已经如同地狱，这真是一个“雄心勃勃”的目标：以色列人权组织B’Tselem将关押巴勒斯坦人的监狱比作“酷刑营”。
I’m being diplomatic(委婉的，外交的) with my summary of this latest video, by the way(顺便说一句). I suggest you go watch it yourself to fully take in(理解，领会) how awful it is. (It may have been deleted, but it lives on online). If the podcaster Hasan Piker(哈桑·派克，美国左翼播客主) had tweeted something similar, with Israelis as the subject rather than Palestinians, it would be front-page news. US lawmakers, all of whom seem to be obsessed(着迷的，痴迷的) with Piker, would be demanding that the podcaster be punished.
顺便说一句，我对这段最新视频的总结已经很客气了。我建议你亲自去看看，充分感受它有多糟糕。（它可能已被删除，但在网上仍然存在。）如果播客主哈桑·派克发了类似的内容，把以色列人而不是巴勒斯坦人作为主角，那一定会成为头版新闻。美国议员们——他们似乎都对派克着迷——会要求惩罚这位播客主。
