Israel’s Knesset passed a bill on Monday mandating the death penalty for Palestinians convicted of deadly acts of terrorism. The bill stipulates that the death penalty will be imposed on a terrorist who killed a person “with the intent to deny the existence of the State of Israel.”
In doing so, the bill’s wording creates a distinction designating it almost exclusively for Palestinian terror, while the ideological burden of proof it sets is expected to make its application to Jewish nationalist terror nearly impossible.
Sixty-two lawmakers voted in favor of the contentious bill, including several opposition members; 48 voted against it, and one abstained.
Post title could drop those last three words and still ve accurate. You don’t starve and bomb children if you’re concerned with who is convicted and who isn’t.
