A cover feature in the Italian magazine L’Espresso has sparked a widespread online debate regarding its portrayal of the Israeli settler movement. Titled “L’Abuso,” or “The Abuse,” the cover depicts Daniella Weiss, a prominent settler leader, holding a cluster of grapes. The publication has faced accusations of antisemitism and dehumanization from critics, while others defend the piece as a necessary examination of the legal and humanitarian implications of settlement expansion in the West Bank, which is considered illegal under international law.

STOP CALLING THEM SETTLERS!!!!!!!
Truth is always painful
2:10 they are arguing that this guy is so ugly that showing pictures of him dehumanizes the whole people?
that doesn't make sense. especially when they took the picture because he was doing something that needed to be reported on.
Looks
Like a Colgate Toothpaste commercial to me
This is one of the reasons why journalists are not allowed or prevented entry to the occupied Palestinians land.
Israhells caught redhanded
It's his actual face!!!
Why do.you take cate about thé words of the impérialist, colonialist gouvernement ? It is so strange
75 years on the receiving end of this Diabolic reality….
The uniform may be outdated but the damage is still happening
Zionists are running amock under Netanyahu.
0:46 – this is not smile. This is rage and contempt
We don’t need magazine covers to dehumanise Jewish Israelis, they’re doing that by their own actions
Whether the true forms of Gog and Magog are mentioned in Ezekiel 38–39 and Revelation 20, they represent evil nations or evil and chaotic forces that rebel against God. Beware of the signs, if they appear then the end of time will soon arrive. 😢
That's Occupied Palestine's QAnon Shaman!
Every day the Zionists tell the world how evil they are
but they become offended if anyone else points out how evil they are.
Notice how they immediately turn the narrative how the Israelis are the victims in all of this. Rather than the actual realities of the photo
Imagine being so ugly that even your own countrymen think you're fake
They are offended at a mirror pointed back at them.
yes reality is much worse
So the context makes the photo even worse. Got it.
Israel talking about "responsible journalism" 😆
Israel wants us to hear alternate facts from them 😅
Ashamed of nothing…. Offended by everything!!
Thank God the mainstream is finally addressing the reality. Israel has been hiding behind religion for too long.
Dear Israelis – if you are considered to be the bad guy both by Italian left and by the Italian right I think you should start thinking that they can be right.
Ο κόσμος τ όχι τούμπανο και μεις κρυφό καμαρι. το Ισραήλ είναι σήμερα αυτό που ήταν η ναζιστική Γερμανία στο β παγκόσμιο πολεμο
A smile 😂
They mean, "publishing reality is not acceptable to Israel."
They don’t like that pictures can speak 1000 words.
the state of Israel, particularly under the netanyahoo régime,
has become the very thing, that by its founding,
it was supposed to prevent from happening, ever again.
Reality is FAR WORSE THAN THAT PIC….
Ah, c'mon. It's just the master race needing some more Lebensraum, nothing to see here, move along…
The Olive harvest is in the fall….. when ẃas this confrontation filmed?
Even if the man was handsome, it's STILL wrong.
Much ado about nothing
Either they are not realising what they have become, or they simply don't care.
Photo is real end the statement there . 😂
Hey I can be proud of my country for once!
It is crazy anything the Israeli's say is taken at face value, how many lies and cover ups so far? How many deceased journalists? How many hospitals destroyed when they stated they don't strike hospitals? Ban them from Europe and sanction.
Jewish Interbreeding
Being a d***head they circumcised his mouth
They are the ones who distort reality lol
settlers?
it's well known, they go and harass palestinians sometimes even murdering them to take their land because these terrorists are never held accountable.
this has been known for years.
how many medical people helping palestinians have they murdered now too?
UN people.
but to hold them accountable the UN would have to admit the whole jews in the middle east was wrong from the start when they stole the land in 1948.
amazingly eough a year hamas didn't exist.
yet the jewish terrorists were there since 1920 with the brits murdering palestinans and stealing their land then.
I love how Israel highlights these truths. The more they condemn, the more we notice 😂
It doesn’t get more real than that this has been going on for years
Reality is much worse, settlers destroy palestinian crops, attack palestinian kids, attack and disrespect churches and poison wells
Israel shouldve been sanctioned over those settlements since day one
yeah it distorty reality!
the women is still standing, and not being pummeled to the ground & robbed of all she has!,
that would be israeli reality….brutalizing everyone who isnt a fanatical jew & stealing their lands & lifelyhoods!
Accurate representation of their mentality and activities
when wil Europe sanction the terror state of Israel!?
They cry out as they strike you
