Ben-Gvir’s Stun-Granade Warning Sparks Satirical Criticism

In a satirical video segment for the Sroogim website, host Ariel Sharfer mocked National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir over his reported stance on stun grenades used by police. Sharfer said Ben-Gvir had declared that if the use of stun grenades is not limited to exceptional cases, there should be no stun grenades for the police or in the field.

The piece framed the announcement as shocking and asked whether Ben-Gvir would also restrict the grenades in situations involving violent protesters and criminals. Sharfer questioned whether the minister would instead focus on his broader law and order agenda, referring mockingly to a “Galit Baharav-Miara reform.” He also argued that violent rioters should not make life harder for ordinary people, and suggested police may need stronger tools, not fewer.

The commentary referenced Ben-Gvir’s past activism, saying he had once been thrown to the ground in the hills before later dressing in a suit and entering politics. It accused him of punishing law enforcement rather than tightening enforcement against those who openly defy the law. The monologue ended by saying that if he removes stun grenades from police, the joke will be on him, and that even his law degree will not save his public demand to do the job properly, or to hand it over to someone else who is not afraid to use force when needed.

A caption noted that the video is satirical, meant in humor and without any intent to harm. The segment is part of Sroogim’s daily feature, “The Red Point.”
