An Israeli court has temporarily blocked a plan, cooked up by far right minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, to construct a moat full of crocodiles around a notoriously abusive prison that holds Palestinians. The injunction was issued on Sunday against the transfer of crocodiles to the facility in response to a petition filed over concerns that the crocodiles would be harmed or mistreated.

Every time a country becomes arguably more vile than the US it turns to just be them copying the US…and still Americans won’t see the issues with their behavior.
As far as this court is concerned, crocodiles are more important than Palestinians…
Jesus christ, what the %#* is wrong with these people?
Human welfare optional.
Apparently so. This was only blocked because it was deemed cruel to the Crocodiles.
Literal Crocodile Tears
We can’t send these poor crocodiles to this concentration camp for Palestinians! It’s a concentration camp for Palestinians!
Sort of yes?
The crocodiles would also be an invasive species in the area.
It’s wild that that is the main concern here.
It’s all just comically evil. Like 80s cartoon evil, but as part of a genocide.
Next attempt: Sharks with freaking laser beams…
The word “for” makes up nearly a third of the headline. This is merely an observation, but also a slight annoyance.
I’m a native English speaker and I took me three tries to parse this headline. You can use “for” 3 times, but can’t use “is” once?
“Israeli Plan for Crocodile Moat for Prison for Palestinians IS Blocked for Animal Welfare”
The headline still sucks but at least it’s now clear that the prison is the subject being blocked.

Alligator Auschwitz 2.0
Israelis are Nazis.
And you’re telling me this isn’t an Onion article
/s. Jeez people!
I imagine that when Israelis mention animal welfare they mean those palestinians, those animals.
I expect the crocodiles have more rights and will be treated better.
This judgement proves it. Their concentration camp plans were forced to change because it would harm the crocodiles…not because it’s a concentration camp
