Ok, sorry I'm not an expert in torture scars as I have never tortured anyone. I'm not saying they should be excused for the torture just asking what the article was about. I could imagine an article talking about him walking through the groups mocking/making fun of/humiliating the victims, that's an extension of how much of an asshole he is and should be highlighted in articles. For example imagine if there was a video of Hitler laughing as he watched jews choke to death in the showers. That would be a headline above Hitler killed more jews.

If that's the case I'd phrase it as "Ben gvir mocks victims of his torture" but I'm not in the media or press for a reason.

You wouldn't be in the media for long after writing that.
