You very obviously cannot.

Say what?

Ben Gvir is an odious piece of shit, but what the fuck are you talking about? There is no “concentration camp” in the video you linked. It’s a prison. It’s literally labeled as a prison in the video. And Ben Gvir has been bragging about how the prisons used to serve fresh baked pitas everyday until he got involved; that’s clearly what he is referring to. Trying to equate this to “cOnCeNtRaTiOn CaMpS” is a ridiculous attempt to play the Holocaust card and accomplishes nothing except ensuring that no one will take you seriously.
