@lelemSLP Yowsers. Divine intervention right there. Nuts. Glad you’re ok!

I was taking the kids from tennis class. They finished but had to wait for me 5 minutes until I finished chess game on my phone. Then when I started driving, the phone yelled warning. We turned back and went to the shelter at the tennis club. There we heard enormous explosions, the loudest we've ever heard. And then we discovered that it fell where we were supposed to be, if I wasn't playing chess and just started driving without delay. Probably the chess just saved our lives. There are people injured, elderly people and a baby.

A guy who said he was a Nazi and released a track called “Heil Hitler” is headlining a music festival. Presumably the people who marched against the far-right will attend to demonstrate, and not to sing along

@CraigMurrayOrg @DS9239055554517 Maybe don’t sit in front of a Hezbollah flag…

@DS9239055554517 I was thinking that if you wear a flak jacket with PRESS on it, the Israelis kill you.

This is over a year old, but it has still only ever been seen by a minority of my followers, so I hope you will forgive me it you are seeing it again.

My uncle’s execution order has been issued; please, whoever sees this, share it. I’m not being seen, I don’t know what else to do.

Hilariously, the man was arrested while attending the hearing the court hearing of three others charged with the Golders Green attack.

@HeidiBachram @metpoliceuk Is that the Isis flag??

Pro-Pals are out in London chanting “Muslim armies end your shame” with a banner calling for military action against Israel. How is this reasonable opinion? This is incitement of violence. @metpoliceuk

Have you released a song called 'Heil Hitler'? Have you sold t-shirts with swastikas on them? Have you promised to go 'death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE'? If so, congratulations! You may be eligible to headline @WirelessFest, sponsored by @pepsiuk

All I have to say about Ben Gvir is this: When the Jews of Egypt were finally freed, they started to praise God when the Egyptians, who charged after them trying to re-enslave them, were drowned in the sea. God chastised them, and to this day, we spill a little wine out of our cups at the Seder to remember to have empathy and pity - even if it is our enemies being destroyed. We are not supposed to be pacifists. But neither are we supposed to cheer at the downfall of men - any men - all whom are created in the image of God. Have a death penalty for terrorists. Don't have a death penalty for terrorists. For me - the conversation SHOULD have been about this worthy debate. Instead, we're all rightfully distracted by the disgusting and disturbing actions of a man who pops open champagne and wears a pin of a noose to celebrate the death penalty. Lest you think most Israelis support this inhumanity, I will remind you that Ben Gvir was banned from serving in the IDF, and has 13 criminal convictions. Every country has more than a few politicians worthy of being embarrassed of. Ben Gvir is one of Israel's.

@sethdanie1 In Palestine, if you knew a terror attack was planned and informed the Israeli authorities to protect innocent lives, you would face the death penalty for collaborating with the enemy. It's without question the most deeply fucked up society on earth today.

Wow. You're paid to write this crap right? Every single Muslim country have the often used death penalty and you say nothing. This is a very tight limited death penalty for the very worst terrorists... The people who blow up buses and ram cars into school kids. And yet Pakistani blasphemy laws, used broadly against any Christian with little or any opportunity for defense of the chargers, that you've said almost nothing in twenty years.

This is what happens when one of the following goes to no. 10: An Israeli official. = Mass protests. President Trump. = Mass protests. Syrian President Ahmed al‑Sharaa, a man who led Al-Qaeda, anti-Christian pogroms and killed hundreds of thousands of civilians. = No protests.

@MartinSLewis Pesach sameach, hope it’s a good one!

And that’s me done. As I've no TV show for a few weeks, I'm going to take advantage and put my MoneySavingExpert hat to one side for a little bit and spend some time wearing my far brighter "Dad" hat instead. So I’ll be off social and work for 10 days or so. I’d be grateful if, while I’m off here, you report any scam ads using my name or image to the platform (they often increase when I’m not posting). Wishing all celebrating a Happy Easter or Pesach Sameach - and for everyone else, I hope you have a great time too. See you in a week or two. Martin

Brendan O’Neill absolutely nails it again. 🎯🎯🎯 Not mentioned and totally relevant too: Palestinian courts can impose death sentences for selling land to Israelis.

Not a single protest against that man Unelected Ex-Al-Qaeda Thousands of minorities killed under his watch Where is the British moral brigade ? Where is the supreme @TheGreenParty?

You don’t have to be Jewish to stand UP and speak OUT against Jew-hatred. Well done to this Londoner for having a shiny spine and sending a clear email to @haringeycouncil about the Ye gig. And thanks for giving permission to share your excellent example.

“Is it a little bit homophobic to focus on the straights of Hormuz rather than the gays of Hormuz?” No Kings protester, completely serious: “Yes, absolutely, I agree.”

Last night, Internal Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir’s law mandating the execution of terrorists convicted of murder passed 62–48. Ben-Gvir attempted to propose a toast, but before he could pop the cork on his champagne, the Knesset speaker demanded he stop, and the ushers confiscated the bottle. The stunt was much like the law itself: all style, no substance. Contrary to much of the rhetoric, Israel has had the death penalty for nearly 70 years. The original law was designed to execute Nazi war criminals but can technically apply to anyone who commits similarly genocidal crimes. Every prosecutor can request the death penalty, and under certain circumstances, judges may grant it. That’s why Ben-Gvir advertised his law as forcing left-wing prosecutors to request the penalty and left-wing judges to grant it for terrorists—particularly the Nukhba forces, who invaded Israel on October 7. In reality, it does neither. The law explicitly excludes Nukhba terrorists from receiving the death penalty and provides no evidentiary infrastructure or procedural framework to secure convictions. Its wording actually helps judges avoid the penalty, mandating only “death penalty or life imprisonment” for convicted terrorists. Those hoping this law would change the calculus of hostage deals should think again. Not only does it fail to reduce the number of terrorists in Israeli prisons, it does not abolish the president’s power of pardon—the primary mechanism for releasing terrorists in deals. Even if Ben-Gvir somehow manages to secure a death penalty, the law does nothing to prevent the conviction from being overturned or the terrorist from being handed over. The law does more than fail in its objectives—it actively backfires. Despite being marketed as targeting Palestinian terrorists (raising its own legal problem of discrimination), it explicitly allows for the death penalty for Jews. The law defines terrorism as acts “to negate the existence of the state,” a definition that could apply to groups such as extremist Haredi factions and violent members of the “Hilltop Youth” (which Ben-Gvir supports). Its most glaring flaw is that it mandates carrying out a sentence within 90 days—an explicit violation of the Geneva Convention’s mandatory 180-day waiting period. As a signatory, Israel could expose IDF officers to international lawsuits, with no tangible benefit. The IDF warned Ben-Gvir, but he disregarded their advice. Its blatant illegality gives the Supreme Court clear grounds to strike it down, returning Israel to square one while damaging the country’s international reputation. Had Ben-Gvir managed to keep his champagne, I would have proposed a toast—to a self-destructive law that makes Israel look terrible, benefiting no one but Ben-Gvir himself. L’chaim. That said, while Ben-Gvir’s law is essentially a campaign stunt, a more responsible law is making its way through the system. Proposed by MKs Simcha Rothman and Yulia Malinovsky, the law establishes the practical mechanisms—procedural and evidentiary—to secure convictions of Nukhba terrorists, after which the death penalty could be imposed. The Rothman–Malinovsky law was developed in consultation with all relevant authorities. The Shin Bet, IDF, and National Security Council have expressed similar concerns about Ben-Gvir’s law and consulted on this alternative. The death penalty is a complex issue. Personally, I support executing terrorists who attempt to murder civilians—especially the monsters of October 7. Currently, these terrorists face one of two outcomes: spend the rest of their lives in prison at Israel’s expense, or eventually be released in a hostage deal and likely return to terrorism. Neither option is good for Israel. What we can all agree on is that this issue demands a serious, responsible approach—one that prioritizes the security and best interests of the country over personal electoral ambitions.

It’s great that the death penalty is a concerning issue for so many people. Can we talk about how the Palestinian Authority and a dozen other Muslim countries have the death penalty for being gay, atheist, apostate, or even just criticizing Islam?
