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.

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.
Fuck Israel
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.
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
Boycott, divest, sanction.
If Hitler was alive and see this, he would be very proud of Israel’s apartheid laws.
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
No longer a reason not to fight to the death
Zionist scum
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 a terrorist state, episode 2049395857382929
fucking zionis
Oh look, the genocidal Zionist psychopaths are at it again.
I heard somebody else here refer to Israel as depraved the other day in response to an Israeli business owner using a prisoner video to advertise their business. I thought it was a bit harsh, but they really are turning out to be a country of monsters. The US and Europe should cut all ties and throw them to the wolves. I am sure most of the world thinks of Israel and the US as interchangeable anyway. It feels like there is a cradle to grave culture of viciousness there that doesn’t exist in Europe or the US (or at least didn’t used to).
