Legislation initiated by far-right Otzma Yehudit party drew mounting criticism from opponents and rights groups as it moved through the Knesset

Israel’s parliament has advanced a contentious bill to impose the death penalty on Palestinians convicted of terrorism to its final vote, after the Knesset’s national security committee approved the measure on Tuesday.

The legislation, initiated by the far-right Otzma Yehudit party led by the national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, has drawn sharp criticism from opponents who warn it would mark a significant escalation in Israel’s penal policy. Members of Otzma Yehudit have worn noose-shaped pins in support of the bill.

      funny thing is that the bible paints Jews as victims who never did anything wrong. while recorded history paints a horrible picture of Jews being shitty people and then crying victim when people fight back. does that sound familiar? it should because that’s what Israel, Trump, MAGA, and the rest of the American Nazi party do.

      And then they use social media and laws made by genocidal zionists to convince you that everyone who doesn’t suck their diseased cocks are evil.
