Sultana is an antisemite. Your go.

A Nazi invading a Jewish space? That’s very on-brand for a Nazi, bro.

Mom’s thoughts

Oh, dear

Pete Hegseth is now mumbling "In the name of Jesus Christ". Oh Jesus! Someone give him a vodka!

@Rowd_19 @aradboaz Numerous groups opposed the initial language, including Arab ones. Let’s call it a day. Your questions are simply a monologue.

@Gothtos @aradboaz overly vague? Seems not vague at all if you find evidence that someone was murdered because of their ethnicity. But settlers are fine with violence against people for being Arabs and their caucus in Knesset removed it accordingly

This “progressive” left wing grifter is either knowingly peddling lies or is a complete and utter moron. Most likely both.

That’s a tweaker. Greenwald was also caught pictured next to a pipe. They love it

@Elad_Si He’s definitely on meth there. Swigging a gallon jug of water and everything

Q: How many Jews do you think were killed in the Holocaust? A: 271k at best. Holocaust denial is a key component of the anti Zionist movement because in their sick mind, denying the genocide of the Jewish people undermines the legitimacy of the state of Israel.

@Rowd_19 @aradboaz It was taken out because it was overly vague and likely unconstitutional. The law targets terrorist acts with a motive to negate Israel’s existence and that’s fairly reasonable and clear. Those who don’t commit terrorist acts with this aim will be fine.

@Gothtos @aradboaz Why was nationalistic violence taken out if not for the concern by the bills authors that too many Jews might be roped in?

@barlow2021 @colwight Take your meds.

@Gothtos @colwight This was from the U.N. There is no Hamas. Just people being massacred and starved in an open-air prison. Demolished. Bookmark this and get back to me when you learn the truth.

Israel’s new death penalty law is widely described as exclusively targeting Palestinians. That’s not just an overstatement it’s wrong. In Israel proper it formally applies to anyone committing a lethal terrorist act aimed at negating Israel’s existence. This includes Israeli Arab citizens on identical terms to Jews. The military court track applies only to West Bank Palestinians, but that reflects existing jurisdictional reality, not ethnic targeting in the text. Settlers, as Israeli citizens, are legally subject to Israeli civil courts even though they are in the West Bank. This is the internationally recognised position for an occupying power’s own civilians. Claims that thousands of already-convicted Palestinians face execution are simply false; the law is prospective only and won’t be applied retrospectively, even to 7/10 terrorists. The legitimate criticism is that the law’s net effect will fall disproportionately on West Bank Palestinians. Moreover, the military track carries a harsher mandatory sentence than the civil one, and it operates against a backdrop of chronically under-prosecuted settler violence. But that last point is an enforcement failure within Israel’s civil court system not a jurisdictional anomaly, or a function of this new law. That said it’s a real and well-documented issue, with many in Israel’s security establishment describing organised settler violence as terrorism. That asymmetry is absolutely worth criticising clearly. But it’s a criticism that’s likely to get lost as the more lurid claims take the attention.

@Rowd_19 @aradboaz Bills go through all sorts of linguistic changes and edits to withstand judicial review. The wording of the bill was changed after groups like Adalah voiced concern that it would result in discriminatory outcomes and so it was. What’s the issue?

@Gothtos @aradboaz So why not just amend the law to remove the need for unanimity? Why did the initial bill have reference to nationalistic violence but then it was removed?

@barlow2021 @colwight Yes, it was an egregious and comical lie back then, as well. Even Hamas who inflate their numbers and don’t differentiate between civilian and combatant deaths are not claiming these numbers. They have them at 72k currently.

@Gothtos @colwight Yes. You are being lied to. This was last year.

@barlow2021 @colwight Half of the population? I miss when Nazis actually tried to peddle their lies in a somewhat believable manner.

@colwight They're mass-murdering Palestinians so what difference does it make? Your long comment is for nothing. A million dead and dying in Gaza, as you will find out.

@Rowd_19 @aradboaz It’s evident that lowering the bar by removing a unanimous 3/3 decision and replacing it with a simple majority and also removing the possibility of an appeal or commutation through this law is intended to permanently dispatch terrorists instead of giving them life.

@Rowd_19 @aradboaz The only answer I have for you is that different times and threat levels require different approaches. 1/2

@Rowd_19 @aradboaz I mean… elimination of Hamas is already Israeli policy. The death penalty has always been on the books, just not implemented. When Israel goes a week without an attack they should revist it. When will that be?

@Gothtos @aradboaz The courts that the same authors of this bill believe are “leftists” and want to neuter? Sounds like it would’ve been much easier to draft a bill that targeted Hamas and their ilk but that’s not what the authors went for

@Rowd_19 @aradboaz The intent is determined through the courts by a series of criteria. Presence of manifestos, communications, etc. that specify the actor’s goal is the elimination of Israel. Targeting of high ranking officials opposed to random violence. Organizational doctrine and affiliation.

@Gothtos @aradboaz and how exactly is “intent to end the existence” shown? I think Kahanists intend to end its existence and replace it with a Halachic state. But we all know in practice it will always be presumed a Jew doesn’t act to end Israel

@Rowd_19 @aradboaz The benefit is that carrying out acts of terror against Israel will be punishable by death and thus disincentivized and reduce the desirability of abducting civilians in hopes of a ransom/swap.

@Gothtos @aradboaz What grievance? It’s a law that will harm Israel and provides it zero benefits. In practice no Jew will ever be given the death penalty, only Arabs. Whilst at the same time that crimes against Arabs are increasing by settlers. The only people supporting Israel will be frum Jews.

@Rowd_19 @aradboaz Which is actually quite a high bar. You inventing ludicrous scenarios where harming 1 Jew in any circumstance whatsoever would trigger this penalty is dishonest and does not comport with reality.

@Rowd_19 @aradboaz No. Terrorism is robustly defined in Israel’s 2016 counter terrorism law. You not knowing what it entails is not an excuse to invent your own set of facts. The bar that triggers the death penalty now is that it must include the intent to “end the existence of the State of IL.”
