By a vote of 62 to 48, Israel’s Knesset approved a law Monday enshrining the death penalty as the default punishment for Palestinians who carry out an “act of terrorism” on citizens of Israel. The law does not apply to the state-backed terrorism of far-right Zionist settlers, who routinely assault and kill Palestinians in the illegally occupied West Bank.
Anyone who deliberately kills a person with the intent of “negating the existence of the state of Israel” is to be executed by hanging. The law restricts access to legal counsel for the accused in Israel’s civil courts and grants immunity to all persons involved in carrying out such state executions.
For the system of military courts established by the Zionist regime in the West Bank, under which only Palestinian residents fall, execution by hanging will be the standard punishment for “acts of terrorism,” even without a prosecutorial request. Such executions must be carried out within 90 days. The only power given to the courts in this setting is to impose a life sentence in “exceptional circumstances.” Given how rampant torture and other forms of abuse in Israel’s prison system are, such a decision would in many instances amount to a death sentence by other means.
There is no other word for it than barbaric. This country should be internationally isolated for the heinous atrocities it commits. It is yet another reminder that we must also sever ties with the US, because they have been enabling Israel’s crimes for decades - and now their own fascist regime are even actively participating with their own heinous war crimes. Fuck Israel, fuck the US, and all their accomplices.
odd to agree as an American myself, but here we are.
Israel is officially the most racist apartheid state in human history. They completely copied the ideology of Nazi Germany and perfected it to a degree that Hitler could not even dream of.
South Africa during apartheid was pretty bad.
I know but the difference is that South Africa was condemned by every country in the world and Israel is rewarded by the “most democratic” countries.
This is so catoonishly evil that if you write something like this in some dystopian movie or game or whatever, you’d tell those edgelord writers to calm tf down. Like seriously, what the fuck.
And “terrorism” is resisting settlers trying to murder them in order to take their houses and land.
Fuck Israel
Oh look, the genocidal Zionist psychopaths are at it again.
So democratic.
I wonder what the law abiding Israeli citizens are doing by reading this.
How long till they claim they knew nothing?
How long before they start using family trees to target vocally opposed Isrealis wuth any Palestinians in their families?
I’d worry about those Israeli ‘law abiders’ with about 10-18% of your concern.
82% of Israelis want to ethnic cleanse every Palestinian out of “Israel” regardless of innocence. And many of that tiny minority probably also want the outcome but dont want to admit to wanting it. I suppose I’m happy its not 100% but I dont have a lot of time for the concerns of any society thats that sick. By way of comparison, Israelis make the American political system seem like a principled utopia.
There needs to be pushback against all of Israel’s policies, and I’m afraid that has to take the form of blockading and boycotting all of Israel, not 82% of it, and not allowing travel visas or trade for all israelis, rather than trying to figure out who is in the 18%. Theres no other realistic way to push back. It’ll have to happen to America as well I’m afraid. Assuming theres any free world left to take this action.
How long till they claim they knew nothing?
As soon as someone stops them from doing it.
Regular apartheid wasn’t enough. When will they construct the gas chambers?
They have chosen gallows. Presumably because of the visuals
Yeah, the nazis tried that too. But it wasn’t efficient enough. Same with bullets, they needed them for their wars. But eventually they came up with a final solution which was highly efficient.
And so far, Israel is doing exactly what nazi Germany did. First the ghettos and taking away rights, bordering them off from the test of society. Then came the starvation, then the “replacement” while at the same time committing increasingly worse crimes against humanity like torture, rape and random executions, then the ethnic cleansing of certain areas, which eventually expanded to everywhere, where people were moved to encampments we all know as concentration camps, but eventually they needed to kill them and eventually as efficient as possible.
Nazi Germany = Israel
If Hitler was alive and see this, he would be very proud of Israel’s apartheid laws.
Boycott, divest, sanction.
It is fitting that the law was presented to parliament by the fascist National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who described the measure as the most important piece of legislation in decades and toasted its passage with a glass of champagne. He and his fellow celebrants wore a lapel pin in the shape of a noose, to celebrate the hangings to come.
They got lynching badges made
Conservatives believe that a terrorist is a race, or at least a kind of person. A person who does terrorism is only a terrorist if they oppose the goal of the violence.
I can think of several terrorists that I support. But not by pretending that they were good and peaceful people.
Of course, if you agree with the goal they’re a righteous freedom fighter.
Language is a powerful thing, propaganda works, and history is written by the victors.
Zionist scum
fucking zionis
