Is There A More Disgusting War Criminal & Racist War Monger Than Dan Jarvis, Britain’s Security Minister?

Israel is a Jewish Supremacist State Where Torture, Lynching, Ethnic Cleansing & Genocide are State Policy –  Jarvis Calls This a 'Robust Democracy'



Dan Jarvis is the MP for Barnsley North and Britain's Security Minister. An MP since 2011 he is in a long line of colonial securocrats.

Not surprisingly Jarvis served as an officer in the Parachute Regiment from 1997 to 2011. The Paras murdered 14 Catholics in Derry in what became known as Bloody Sunday. 

It is natural that Jarvis sees an affinity between Unionism and Zionism, Ireland and Palestine. Ronald Storrs, the first Military Governor of Jerusalem from 1920-25 wrote in his autobiography, Orientations.

the enterprise was one that blessed him that gave [Britain] as well as him that took [Zionism] by forming for England a little loyal Jewish Ulster in a sea of potentially hostile Arabism.

On 20 May at the Israeli Embassy’s celebration of 78 years of   Hitler's Bastard Offspring, Jarvis spoke of a “deep rooted” relationship with Israel and how the Labour Party ‘has long been an advocate of the Jewish state.” Jarvis went on

Together we share a commitment to robust democratic governance, rule of law, and judicial independence… and an unwavering dedication to defending our open societies against security threats.”

The next day video emerged of Dan Jarvis' Israeli counterpart, Itamar ben Gvir presiding over the torture and humiliation of the activists of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla.

The Sanitised Torture Video that Ben Gvir Distributed to the Media

Israeli politicians rushed to condemn Ben Gvir. Not for the torture of the Flotilla members but the damage Gvir had done to Israel’s image in the world.

Israel’s Ambassador to the United States Yechiel (Michael) Leiter complained, not about the abuse of the detainees but

Ben Gvir’s antics take a sledgehammer to our diplomatic efforts while Israel’s enemies gleefully jump on every unfortunate nonsense to discredit and demonize.

Leiter couldn’t help but take a swipe at the Gaza flotilla members as ‘provocateurs’. Being a good Zionist he had to lie. His statement that the flotilla members ‘were properly detained in accordance with international law’ is nonsense. The flotilla members were kidnapped in international waters. They were going to Gaza, which is not Israeli sovereign territory and that is compatible with the very international law that Israel flouts on a daily basis.


Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Saar had nothing to say about the ill-treatment but solely about the damage to Israel:

You knowingly caused harm to our State in this disgraceful display - and not for the first time. You have undone tremendous, professional, and successful efforts made by so many people - from IDF soldiers to Foreign Ministry staff and many others. No, you are not the face of Israel.

Neither Leiter nor Saar said anything about the ill-treatment of the Flotilla members because that doesn’t concern them.

The Zionist Board of Deputies, which in the 1930s opposed the Jewish Boycott of Nazi Germany because they preferred to trade with Hitler, since it was profitable, and which in the 1940s refused to support a demonstration by the Czech Federation of Jews against the first deportations of Jews to the death camps from Slovakia, also felt it had to criticise Ben Gvir. 

This is the same Board which has unstintingly supported Israel's genocide in Gaza and which has said nothing about the torture of Palestinians. The Board recently held a demonstration against 'antisemitism' with the far-right in attendance. 

They refused to invite the only Jewish leader of a political party, Zack Polanski, but they were happy to invite Nigel Farage who according to  fellow Jewish class mate, Peter Ettedgui, said Farage had repeatedly told him "Hitler was right" and "gas them" when they were teenagers at Dulwich College, in London.

“The Disappearance of Dr. Abu Safiya”: Al Jazeera Film on Israel’s Abduction, Torture of Gaza Doctor

Torture of Palestinian prisoners is the official policy of the Israeli state. Neo-Nazi Ben Gvir has been given carte blanche to preside over the torture of Palestinian prisoners. Rapists at Sde Teiman had all criminal proceedings dropped against them and they were readmitted into the Israeli army in order that they could continue to rape and torture Palestinians who are captured and imprisoned. This includes its most famous detained prisoner, the Palestinian doctor and Director of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya who has been severely tortured by the monsters that Dan Jarvis, Britain’s Criminal Security Minister supports.

The torture of Dr Safiya is with the complicity of the Israeli Judiciary who agreed to a further 6 months administrative detention. Israeli judges almost never detain without trial Israeli Jews but this is what Dan Jarvis calls democratic governance and an independent judiciary.

A mob of 200 invades an army base to free 9 soldiers arrested for raping a prisoner -  2/3 of the Israeli public agreed that rapists of Palestinian prisoners should not be criminally prosecuted

Israel has lied throughout. Israel's prison service claimed that all detainees were "held in accordance with the law" which is proof that torture is the law in Israel. The Israeli military also rejected allegations of abuse, telling the BBC that its orders "require respectful and appropriate treatment of flotilla participants". The Flotilla Activists told a different story.

The Second Video that Israel's neo-Nazi Police Minister Itamar ben Gvir distributed

In its story Gaza flotilla activists allege abuse by Israeli forces while detained the BBC said that it had not been able to independently verify the allegations. Perhaps if they had reporters at the various airports where detainees landed they would have been able to verify the allegations for themselves.


If Ukrainian prisoners had alleged torture in Russia you can be sure the BBC would rush to ‘verify’ the allegations.  

The BBC reported that on May 21 422 people from 41 countries were deported by Israel and that Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand said that she had

received information from my officials which details the appalling abuse of Canadians who were detained in Israel”.

She added: "Those responsible for this egregious abuse must be held accountable." Canada which is amongst those countries supplying arms to Israel must know that Israeli torturers and murderers are never prosecuted.

The article went on to say that

a spokesperson for Germany's foreign ministry said its consular officials had met German activists on arrival in Istanbul on Thursday and reported that a number were injured. We naturally expect a full explanation, as some of the allegations that have been made are serious.

I suspect hell will freeze over first. Unprovoked attacks on prisoners is Dan Jarvis idea of ‘democracy’.

The BBC reported that Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares told reporters that four of the 44 Spanish activists had received medical treatment for injuries and that organisers of the Global Sumud Flotilla said that:

At least 15 cases of sexual assaults, including rape. Shot with rubber bullets at close range. Tens of people's bones broken.’

No doubt Israel’s independent judiciary will order an inquiry.

The response of Israel's prison service was that the allegations were "false and entirely without factual basis". Presumably broken bones broke by themselves and women were raped by a phantom.

It’s a wonder that they didn’t say that the allegations were anti-Semitic. Perhaps this was not the right occasion. They went on to say that

All prisoners and detainees are held in accordance with the law, with full regard for their basic rights and under the supervision of professional and trained prison staff. Medical care is provided according to professional medical judgment and in accordance with ministry of health guidelines.

So if we take these statements at face value then torture and severely beating up detainees is in accordance with Israeli law. I look forward to Dan Jarvis explaining  how this equates with Israel’s robust democracy. The terrorist IDF said:

IDF orders require respectful and appropriate treatment of flotilla participants on the intercepted vessels, and there are clear and established procedures in this regard. No specific incidents of deviation from these binding procedures are known within the IDF. Any concrete complaints submitted to the IDF on the matter will be examined thoroughly.

And if you believe this I have a number of bridges I can sell you. So a question that Jarvis might answer. If IDF orders require respectful and appropriate treatment of flotilla members, then how do they account for Ben Gvir’s videos and the subsequent reports of torture.

CNN was less reticent than the BBC:  Freed Gaza flotilla activists accuse Israeli forces of sexual violence and abuse while in custody CNN described how

Activists on board a humanitarian flotilla intercepted by Israeli forces on their way to Gaza say they were subjected to beatings, torture and sexual violence while in detention.

Adalah, the Legal Centre for Arab Minority Rights in Israel, told CNN that its lawyers documented testimonies from participants who said they were attacked with tasers and rubber bullets and had been subjected to beatings that left them with suspected broken bones. A statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla added that activists had been subjected to sexual violence, including “multiple accounts of rape,” and “forcible penetration by a handgun.”

No doubt this too is part of what Dan Jarvis called Israel’s “commitment to robust democratic governance, rule of law”. Despite Israeli denials, Adalah’s Miriam Azem stood by the allegations. She told CNN that

In the past 10 years of Adalah representing activists on flotillas, this is by far the most severe violence and assaults that we’ve encountered,”

Adalah said they would let the activists who had experienced sexual violence speak for themselves. This was because some survivors did not want to go into detail about their assaults. Azem said that others were still in Israeli detention at the time they spoke with Adalah, and feared repercussions.

Australian film maker and activist Juliet Lamont told CNN that she was beaten and sexually assaulted by five men in a shipping container on board an Israeli “prison boat.”

Speaking Thursday to reporters at Istanbul Airport while still wearing the grey prison tracksuit of the Israel Prison Service Lamont said she believes activists were targeted in a “relentless” and “planned campaign of violence” that was intended to ensure activists do not return. You know they’ve broken our bones, but they haven’t broken our soul,”


Lamont told reporters in Turkey that Israeli soldiers had sexually assaulted and beaten her. She says soldiers had beaten 180 people on her prison boat, leaving at least 40 with broken bones, while others were Tasered and sedated.

“We were tortured,” Lamont said. She travelled on another flotilla in October 2025 and claimed she was sexually assaulted then. The soldiers’ violence was far worse this time,


In other words a conspiracy to commit violence by Israel’s Police and Security Minister. In any functioning democracy Ben Gvir would have been arrested long ago.

What makes this worse is that at Bilbao Airport there was a further assault on the Flotilla Survivors. The Police who carried this out had been trained by Israel’s Police.


Israel’s VILEST Crime Yet - The Evidence Is Overwhelming

The LA Times reported that South African Gaza flotilla activists endured electric shock torture in Israeli custody.

An article in the Guardian described how Australians were abused after the IDF intercepted the Gaza flotilla and Itamar Ben-Gvir taunted them

Australian Zack Schofield watched, powerless, as Israeli soldiers beat his fellow flotilla activist, an Irish woman, to the ground after she was filmed shouting “free Palestine” at Israel’s national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir.

“Her hands [and] feet were zip-tied together, and then she was dragged around the rest of the processing centre, before she was taken into a prison bus,” Schofield says from Istanbul, after the activists were deported from Israel.

Schofield said that many of the Global Sumud flotilla’s 428 members were treated brutally after the IDF intercepted their boats sailing from Turkey to deliver food and aid to Gaza.

“Many people received similar or worse treatment for much less. There’s no consistency to the violence. It was really at the whim of whichever guard was in front of you.”

Eleven Australians were among those detained by the IDF. The detainees endured torture, sexual assault, beatings and non-lethal shooting.

Israel’s ambassador to Australia, Hillel Newman, claimed that the detained flotilla members were handled with “great sensitivity”. “Out of the 400-plus people that were on the flotilla, no one was harmed,” he told the ABC on Thursday. Which is strange as

All of the Australian activists needed first aid after their detention, and three were taken to hospital in Turkey, flotilla coordinators say. Other members of the global campaign were photographed with bruises and torn skin.

Schofield insists he would willingly sail towards Gaza again.

“Every activist on the flotilla, whether they choose to come back or not, has only had their heart more emboldened by witnessing and experiencing the brutality of the Israeli state,”

‘No Food, No Water, Beatings’: Flotilla Activists Detail Alleged Israeli Prison Abuse

Schofield said that the violence began when IDF ships intercepted their boats on Monday and forced the crews on to prison ships. Armed guards threatened detainees with stun guns, shot them with non-lethal “beanbag rounds” for the slightest “supposed provocations”, and left some bleeding.

They were left to sleep in light grey prison tracksuits on the cold, wet floors for two days, with no blankets or mattresses, “cheek by jowl,” Schofield says. He estimates that each exposed container had four people per square metre.

Taken to the port of Ashdod for immigration processing, Schofield says detainees complied with soldiers’ instructions until one soldier took a man of Arab appearance from the crowd to a shipping container.

We heard his screams for about a minute, not the screams of being punched or beaten, but of a constant pressure being applied. When our people rose up, in protest of this shouting, they used that as an excuse to shoot beanbag rounds into a crowd.

“This Was 24/7 Torture” – Gaza Flotilla Activists Describe Alleged Israeli Abuse After Release

They were taken to Ktzi’ot prison and spent two days there, where Schofield says he had his hands handcuffed behind his back for hours at a time. Detainees were made to lift their arms over their heads “to the point of dislocation”.

Schofield says prison guards restricted detainees’ access to water and forced them to sit in painful stress positions on the ground or pushed them to crowd into each other. He never saw the face of an IDF soldier or prison guard: all of them were masked.

Ben-Gvir avoided meeting his gaze during his tour of the detainees’ prison, Schofield said.

“He was doing his tour in front of us and always looking past our ears, never in our eye. I tried to catch his eye, but no … the veneer of courage is pretty thin.”

Ben-Gvir faced condemnation in Australia and around the world after sharing footage of himself verbally abusing the kneeling and bound detainees. He was criticised within Israel, with Netanyahu, defending the flotilla’s interception but condemning his minister, stating: “The way that minister Ben-Gvir dealt with the flotilla activists is not in line with Israel’s values and norms.”

No doubt Dan Jarvis, the Minister for Defence of Democratic Torture would approve. Schofield said:

He [Ben-Gvir] is a wonderful example of the policies of the Israeli state … It’s very, very good that he has been so public in displaying his attitudes towards humanitarian volunteers.

Melbourne student Neve O’Connor alleges soldiers kneed her in the face and stomach, slammed her head into a table and pulled at her earrings with pliers. She was subjected to degrading comments while being strip-searched, she said in filmed testimony.

O’Connor says guards forced detainees to swap cells almost every hour, playing “mind games”, where prisoners saw drawings on cell walls left by former Palestinian prisoners.

“It was a physical reminder of the fact that we may have been brutalised, but it was nothing in comparison to what Palestinians go through,” she says.

Jewish Australian Anny Mokotow, 71, joined the flotilla after growing frustrated with the federal government’s refusal to support Palestinian voices. She says she wanted a new way to raise awareness of Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

Gaza is being decimated, people are dying every day. I felt … only with my body can I make a difference now, because it seems as if nobody is really able to listen.

It was the same story when the torture victims arrived in Turkey. Multiple claims of abuse, beatings, sexual assaults and torture. True to form Israel denied everything. What would be a surprise was if Israel admitted anything. As multiple flotilla participants said, what they experienced is a fraction of what the Palestinians experience. And Israeli torture, although too well known to be disputed, is something that human trash like Dan Jarvis turn a blind eye to.

Gaza Flotilla Torture victims arrive in Turkey – The Victims of Dan Jarvis ‘Robust Democracy’

Dr Margaret Connolly, the sister of Ireland’s socialist President Katherine Connolly gave a heartbreaking account of her experiences at the hands of Israel’s savages. Connolly described how ashamed she was with the Irish government of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael which voted down a motion supporting BDS.

Global Sumud Activists described the IDF as ‘Worse Than Animals’. Let us not forget that this is the ‘Jewish’ state.

See  Flotilla video: Ben-Gvir’s template of televised abuse was honed on Palestinians

But let us also forget for one moment the torture and humiliation meted out by the filth that they call the ‘most moral army in the world’. Zionist morality is entirely different to most peoples' understanding of the word.

Israel has just introduced a law allowing for judicial lynching of Palestinians.  A death penalty unique in that it reserves the death penalty for one ethnic group only.  A law that even Nazi Germany did not think of introducing. This is Jarvis’ idea of democracy.

Israel rules over 5 million Palestinians who have neither civil nor political rights. They experience a military dictatorship which has exterminated 680,000 people in Gaza, destroyed virtually every hospital, school, university and home. To Dan Jarvis, who is nothing but human faeces in a suit, this is democracy.

Israel is a state of its Jewish citizens, not all of its citizens. In other words it is officially an apartheid state.

Israel is a state where it is permissible to chant ‘death to the Arabs’ in a march of settlers through Arab East Jerusalem without any penalty, guarded by the Israeli Police.

But if Israeli Palestinians chant “With soul and blood, we redeem you, Oh Gaza!” or “There is no solution except uprooting the occupier” or “Gaza shall not submit to the tank or cannon” then they will be convicted of “indirect incitement to terrorism” and “identification with a terrorist organization.”

Fascist Filth Jarvis

If Dan Jarvis thinks this is an example of a democratic state then people should be aware that this Labour Nazi will not hesitate to do the same in Britain.

It is a mark of how low Starmer and his  political cronies have sunk that human detreitus such as Dan Jarvis can serve in a 'Labour' government.

Israel is to the 21st century what Nazi Germany was to the 20th century.  Israel claims to inherit the memory of the millions of Jews who died in the Nazi holocaust. In fact they inherit the memory of those who killed them as Moshe Feiglin, a former Member of the Knesset freely admitted on Israel’s Channel 12 News:

'Hitler said, 'I can't live if one Jew is left,' we can't live here if one 'Islamo-Nazi' remains in Gaza'

A state permanently at war, which seeks to impose its will on the Middle East in alliance with Arab dictatorships such as the UAE.

Today socialists should treat the Labour Party as no different from the Conservative Party. It has lost any connection with working class or socialist politics.

There is an urgent need to build a genuine Left or Socialist Party that can pose an alternative not only to Reform but the rotten, decaying and war-like capitalist system we live in.

The tragedy is that Jeremy Corbyn decided to destroy the greatest opportunity we had to build such a party by placing his own ego above the needs of the movement.
