Itamar Ben-Gvir, the blood-thirsty Minister of Israel’s Ministry of Security, who recently called for 30-40 Palestinians to be slaughtered daily, since they are not human, has now proudly reported the construction of a facility to hang Palestinians.
“We are making history,” he said. “Terrorists deserve only one thing—death by hanging. I took office promising to stop the ‘summer camps’ in the Prison Service. This has been fully implemented. I promised to legislate a death penalty law for terrorists. This has been carried out. And now the death row and hanging facility are also starting to take shape.”
The Guardian posted today: “Ben-Gvir has posted a gloating video of the construction of a gallows complex where Palestinians convicted of terror offences—but not Jewish extremists accused of similar crimes—will be hanged. Ben-Givr… said the new execution site would be equipped with viewing booths for families of victims to watch the hangings.” One observer wondered if he may raffle off a chance for individuals to personally kill a Palestinian.
This move follows the passage of a new law earlier this year, promoted by Ben-Gvir, which, the Guardian notes: “requires military courts to apply the death penalty as the only available sentence, unless the court finds special circumstances allowing for life imprisonment. Jewish Israelis are in effect protected from the death penalty by a provision that applies the law only to murder committed with the ‘intent to deny the existence of the state of Israel’.”
Wikipedia reports that “Capital Punishment has only been imposed twice in the history of the state (Israel) and is only to be handed out for treason, genocide, crimes against humanity, and crimes against the Jewish people during wartime.” The two were an IDF officer convicted of treason and Adolf Eichmann.
