JERUSALEM, (Reuters) - Israel's parliament passed a law on Monday making death by hanging a default sentence for Palestinians convicted in military courts of deadly attacks, fulfilling a pledge by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's far-right allies.

The law would only apply to Israelis convicted of murder whose attacks aimed at "ending Israel's existence", meaning it would mete out the death penalty for Palestinians but not for Jewish Israelis who committed similar crimes, critics say.

"Israel abolished the death penalty for murder in 1954. The only person executed in Israel after a civilian trial was Adolf Eichmann, an architect of the Nazi Holocaust, in 1962.

Military courts in the West Bank can already sentence Palestinian convicts to death but have not done so.

The measure was promoted by Itamar Ben-Gvir, the far-right national security minister who wore noose-shaped lapel pins in the run-up to the vote.

"This is a day of justice for the murdered, a day of deterrence for enemies," Ben-Gvir said in parliament. "Whoever chooses terror chooses death."

JFC.

Of course hanging is the best way to execute these Muslims.

Muslims don't eat pork.

This is ethnic cleaning two or three at a time that will provide fresh untainted organs unharmed by bullets or poison gas for harvest. .

The younger the Palestinians, the better.

"deliberately or through indifference, from a motive of racism or hostility against a population, and with the aim of harming the State of Israel and the national revival of the Jewish people in its homeland " shall be sentenced to death,"

A good lawyer, not moder8 or Etal, could make the case this would also apply to Israeli's harming the State of Israel, by attacking "palestinians".

Of course hanging is the best way to execute these Muslims.

Goes without saying.

Why wouldn't everyone celebrate it?

The idea is to get rid of terrorism, they don't want the terrorist getting out and committing more terrorism, like they do in the US.

Well, they could have just gone all Chinese and starved them to death.

Even their own people, by the millions. Perhaps you should just stfu every time you get the urge to show your brilliance, eh?

Odd. I remember Trump pardoning J6ers and releasing 5,000 Taliban in Afghanistan.

Take Israel's balls out of your mouth.

Just a reminder about justice:

In 1960, the Israeli Mossad abducted Argentina resident Adolf Eichmann for crimes this German citizen perpetrated in Poland and then was tried, convicted, and executed in Israel, a country that did not exist during the commission of those crimes against humanity, the Holocaust.

This falls under "universal jurisdiction" which NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani can implement when he orders the NYPD to arrest ICC-indicted war criminal Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu. The Queens or Manhattan DA would seek a bench warrant based on the INTERPOL Red Notice for Netanyahu.

Once the warrant is issued, the NYPD ESU will then arrest Netanyahu. Once detained, the ICC will be notified and the NYPD and ICC will arrange the defendant's extradition to the Hague.

Lastly, a few years ago a young Irish peacekeeper in UNIFIL got separated from his convoy at night and ended up in a Lebanese village. Thinking the vehicle was Israeli, the village residents began pelting it with rocks and stones. An individual then opened fire on the vehicle, killing the poor guy.

When Lebanese Hezbollah found out what happened, within two weeks they found the man responsible for killing Private Sean Rooney and handed the suspect over to Lebanese Army G2 for prosecution on the charge of murder.

They should take a page from Islam. Behead or stone them.

How Israel is allowed to participate in the Olympics, FIFA, and Eurovision, while Russia and Belarus are not, staggers the imagination.

The hypocrites are finally being exposed, but this is too little, too late.

- Behead

At least you got what 1Nut didn't; that the method of death, the cruelty and the theatre, is the point.

Perhaps you also know that in the Story, it's the Fallen Church in the End Times that beheads those who don't take the Mark of Mr Beast, er, I mean, Beast.

So, Trumpers.
