Stop racist executions

17th April sees a global action in solidarity with Palestinian hostages in Israeli goals.

In the past days the Knesset ha shown itself to be a fascist echo chamber when it passed a law that Palestinians convicted of terrorism faced the death penalty.

This discriminatory and racists law provided slightly different approaches in Israel and in the occupied territories:

Within the civil court system in Israel, the bill imposes the death penalty for the deliberate killing of a person with the intention of β€œnegating the existence of the State of Israel.” It mandates execution by hanging, restricts access to legal counsel and visits from family members, limits external oversight, and grants immunity to those involved in carrying out executions.

Within the military court system of the Occupied Palestinian Territory, the bill imposes the death penalty for killings classified as acts of terrorism, as defined under Israeli law, even without a prosecutorial request. The bill only allows courts to order life imprisonment in unspecified exceptional cases where β€œspecial reasons” are found, limiting judicial discretion. It also prohibits commutation of sentences and mandates execution within an accelerated timeframe of 90 days.
