Israel votes for death penalty for Palestinians convicted of lethal attacks

“Israel's far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir wore a noose pin on his lapel to signal his support for the bill”

I first heard about this on Facebook and thought it might be anti-Israel fake news. But no, it’s true.

Absolutely horrifying and sickening.

I see that you figured that out already!

Absolutely.
Plus Elon Musk with his anti semitic and racist views is not someone I would like to make even richer with views

Good morals Marty !

Spotted your lovely Irish turn of phrase upthread
”you’re grand” …
reminded me of home ☘️

It is a confusing turn of phrase!
It can mean both yes and no(and at the same time 😬)

Used whatever the situation
House on fire = it’ll be grand
Ever the optimists ❤️

Not Irish but I love that phrase too. There’s no better way to say no thanks!

That's fair.

It's up there with "I will yeah" which also means no.😉

Utterly sick behaviour and it’s these sort of actions that out them for what they really are

And this is the man who held Netanyahu’s coalition together whilst the IDF bombed Gaza? I wonder if he is satisfied with what he has and is facilitating in Gaza and the West Bank.

The legislation was passed by 93 votes to 0 in Israel's parliament

Terrifying. Nothing justifies this.

The best example of this logic is a statement by panelist Stella Weinstein on Channel 13, who said that a baby in Gaza is akin to a "terrorist in an incubator."

I wonder who the 28 lawmakers who were absent or abstained are

The only ones who believe in a fair trial I assume and how very sad that recent polls in Israel show growing support for the death penalty. A country Going backwards then

Am I right that it still has to go through supreme court or is it now law?
