La legge razzista sulla pena di morte approvata in Israele è un atto barbaro contro ogni etica. La politica nazionalista-religiosa israeliana è responsabile del baratro di ignominia in cui sta sprofondando Israele.

Israeli occupation Knesset's National Security Committee approved yesterday a final draft of a bill that would mandate the death penalty for Palestinian prisoners. The bill, which has been a key demand of far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, is now cleared for its final second and third readings in the full Knesset, which could happen as early as next week.   𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙨𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙨𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙡 𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙄𝙨𝙧𝙖𝙚𝙡'𝙨 𝙡𝙚𝙜𝙖𝙡 𝙛𝙧𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠 𝙧𝙚𝙜𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙘𝙖𝙥𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙥𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩:  •Targeted Application: The law specifically does not apply to Jewish Israelis. •Mandatory Sentencing: If convicted, judges would be required to impose the death penalty; they would no longer have the discretion to issue life sentences instead. •Execution Method & Timeline: Executions would be carried out by hanging within 90 days of a final verdict. •No Right to Appeal or Pardon: The current draft removes the right to appeal the sentence and bars any reduction or pardon once the penalty is imposed. •Judicial Threshold: In military courts, a simple majority of judges—rather than a unanimous decision—would be sufficient to hand down a death sentence. •Retroactive Power: The law could be applied retroactively to prisoners already in custody, including those detained during and after the October 2023 attacks.
