    Members of Otzma Yehudit have worn noose-shaped pins in support of the bill.

    Under the proposals, those sentenced to death would be held in a separate facility with no visits except from authorised personnel, with legal consultations conducted only by video link. Executions would be carried out within 90 days of sentencing.

    The measure allows courts to impose the death penalty without a request from prosecutors, and without requiring unanimity, instead permitting a simple majority decision. Military courts in the occupied West Bank would also be empowered to hand down death sentences, with the defence minister able to submit an opinion.

    For Palestinians under occupation, the bill would close off avenues for appeal or clemency, while prisoners tried inside Israel could see their sentences commuted to life imprisonment.

    Jesus christ how long until they just fire up the gas chambers and skip this song and dance of a trial where the defendant gets no appeals, limited legal counsel, no unanimous decision, and no prosecutorial discretion? These politicians are absolutely disgusting.

      We past that point ages ago. This is a purely procedural motion to legitimize the de facto summary executions and extrajudicial murders already happening in the field.

      IDF thugs have been bombing emergency vehicles, demolishing every source of potable water or edible food, and wounding children in order to lure adults out of hiding with their cries for help going back… straight to the Nakba of 1948 if we’re being honest. But it really took off in 2018, during the first peaceful March of Return. Then it accelerated enormously after Oct 7th.

      Anyone Israelis have captured since then has been brutalized solely for military intelligence and propaganda. Executing them is a matter of course. There’s a case of a one-year-old being tortured in order to extract information from his father, for instance. Palestinians who leave Israeli custody have often been so maimed and abused that they die within a few days or weeks of release. This is deliberate. Their executions would have been a formality at best.

      They’ve been so upfront and honest with things so far, you know they won’t abuse this system in any way. I mean, only for actual terrorists, and not like 7 year olds… /S

      The Jews have become the Nazis. How the fuck do these people go from having this done to them, to doing it to others. Fuck them all. Also want a record of everyone wearing those pins, so when we bring back the Hague we can hang them.

        You know a lot of Jews feel like Israel stole the Jewish identity and transformed it into something grotesque.

        I saw this interesting interview with a Rabbi who explained how Israel Zionist stole it’s so called Jewish identity as a means to enact terror on the middle east and hide behind “but we Jews are the victim, remember the Holocaust?”.

        This Jewish Rabbi really doesn’t like Zionism nor Israel government. I felt much more informed on the topic of how Israel Zionism formed after watching this. 15 min video if you are interested.
