MODERATORS
 

The Israeli parliament's National Security Committee on Wednesday debated a bill to impose the death penalty on Palestinians convicted of terrorism, with "lethal injection" proposed as the method.

The bill, initiated by MK Limor Son Har Melech of the far-right Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) party, passed its first reading last week, and the National Security Committee is now preparing it for its second and third readings before it can become a law in Israel.

On Tuesday, the committee chair, MK Tzvika Foghel - also from the Otzma Yehudit party - published the guiding principles of the proposed law.

After the Hamas-led attack on 7 October 2023, Foghel wrote: "The people of Israel understand very well that nothing is more just and fitting than the death penalty for terrorists.

"Besides being just, the death penalty will ensure that there are no more bargaining chips and no more deals paid for with future Jewish blood," he wrote.

I love how much we've evolved. Used to need a whole camp to fit people into rooms to gas them. Now we can just inject them with a needle. Progress.

Be careful what you wish for, Nazi terrorist.

What, is it too labor-intensive to rape them, then beat them to death?

We need countries phasing OUT the death penalty, not new ones starting!

Aren't you a rabid Zionist?
