Genuine question. How can the EU not fully cut off Israel and sanction them now? They've brought in a law that is without precedent and is indefensible. A cruel, barbaric racist law to murder one ethnic group. Surely this IS the red line?

🚨 Knesset advances bill to impose death penalty on Palestinian detainees Israel’s Knesset National Security Committee advanced legislation on March 24 mandating the death penalty for Palestinians convicted of “terrorism” or nationalist killings of Israeli citizens. ➤ Applies only to Palestinians: The bill excludes Israelis accused of similar violence against Palestinians. ➤ Retroactive risk: Provisions could allow the law to be applied to prisoners already in detention. ➤ No pardon, lower threshold: Executions would be carried out within 90 days, with no possibility of clemency and no requirement for unanimous judicial approval. ➤ Fast-tracked vote: Lawmakers aim to pass the final two readings as early as March 30 before the Knesset recesses for Passover. If approved by a simple majority, the bill would become law upon publication in the official register.
