The Hollow Condemnation of Itamar Ben Gvir The recent video posted by Israeli national security minister Itamar Ben Gvir, in which he taunts detained activists from a Gaza bound aid flotilla, has sparked global outrage.
However, US Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides joined the chorus of condemnation while overlooking his own government's sanctions on the flotilla organisers just a day prior.
This incident is merely one example of a long standing pattern of double standards displayed by the US towards Israel and its Palestinian subjects.
