A bill proposing capital punishment for some convicted terrorists would be disastrous for Israel’s global image if enacted
ed note–as always, a volcanic eruption of important info that every war-weary Gentile with a vested interest in his/her own future survival needs to understand about all of this.
Firsto, ladies and Gentile-men, a reminder/reiteration of a truism that appears often here on this humble little informational endeavor, which is that anything that emanates forth from the brain and/or mouth of the Jews must be analyzed CAREFULLY, given the fact, as they have demonstrated now for the last 3,000 years, they are as inclined towards deception and duplicity as a falling tree is inclined to follow the rules of gravity.
Or, as we put it often in rhyme formula–
FISH SWIM, BIRDS FLY, AND JEWS LIE…
Now, what makes the Judaic gravitational attraction to lying so ‘special’ is that they are very clever about how they do it. Yes, sometimes they are loud & proud, bold & brash in their lies, but at other times, they are very careful in the incantation that they concoct, and this is one of those cases.
As the reader will see from the title of the piece, the idea that our deceptive Israelite wants to convey is that somehow killing is antithetical and anathema to Judah-ism. He goes so far as to state how state-sponsored legalized execution would be a ‘betrayal’ of ‘Jewish values’ and ‘Jewish history’, as if this, one of the MANY trophies on the Judaic mantle–
–Were merely a piece of historical fiction…
But it’s not just ‘ancient’ history ladies and Gentile-men, for at the very samemoment in which the Jews launched their Satanic black mass in Gaza known as ‘Operation Swords of Iron’, Netanyahu appeared on national television and said the following–
And his source for this commandment to slay them all every man, woman and suckling child’ wasn’t some ‘secular’ source, but rather, came right from the ‘beating heart’ of the religion that the Jews follow, the Torah.
And this commandment, backed up by religious law, is not some singular ‘one off’, ladies and Gentile-men. The religion of the Jews and the book that functions as its ‘how to’ manual is chock-full of similar ‘commandments, so we can all dispense with the notion that somehow the ‘peaceful’ religion of Judah-ism ‘prohibits’ dealing death to the Gentiles, including down to the ‘suckling infant’.
So what’s the ‘rub’ here, fellow, Gentiles? What is it that truly has this ‘Israelite’ so concerned about the possible ramifications of Israel adopting the death penalty, as if the ‘death penalty’ were not an intrinsic part of Judah-ism’s history for the last 3,000 years?
Very simple, and in his own words–
‘Allowing executions in the Jewish state would only give fodder to Israel’s enemies…’
‘If Israel violates its moral obligations and ethical standards by undoing its historic commitment to not inflicting the one punishment that can never be undone, it will be giving its enemies a gift…’
‘a legal death sentencing scheme also would prove costly in terms of public perception of Israel…’
‘The reputation of the Jewish State as a bastion of moral clarity in the Middle East has dramatically changed in the more than two years since the Oct. 7 attack. The devastation of the war in Gaza, and of increasing violence in the West Bank, has led to a substantial drop in positive perceptions of Israel worldwide…’
etc, etc, etc…
So, as always, ladies and Gentile-men, when it comes to the Jews, there is ‘the truth’ that is what it is, and then there is ‘the truth’ that is there to be molded, sculpted, painted, re-branded and re-calibrated so as to further Jewish interests…
Or, as we say often here, fellow Gentiles–
FISH SWIM, BIRDS FLY, AND JEWS LIE…
By Michael Zoosman for the Jewish Daily Forward
The Knesset is considering a bill that would instate the death penalty as a punishment for convicted terrorists in Israel.
Passing it would be an enormous mistake.
Allowing executions in the Jewish state would only give fodder to Israel’s enemies. Right now, Israel stands apart in the Middle East for its abolishment of the death penalty. Hamas regularly executes Palestinians in Gaza, extrajudicially and otherwise. A court operating under Yemen’s Houthi rebels recently sentenced 17 people to death for allegedly spying on behalf of Israel and others. Iran, which has carried out death sentences against Jews, has executed more than 1,500 people in 2025 alone.
Which means that if Israel violates its moral obligations and ethical standards by undoing its historic commitment to not inflicting the one punishment that can never be undone, it will be giving its enemies a gift.
First, changing the justice system to allow for the death penalty would provide Hamas terrorists incarcerated in Israel with a new platform for their message. Hamas could proclaim them to be martyred heroes — a new layer of effective propaganda.
Terrorists such as the perpetrators of the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre often believe that their spirits will receive rewards upon their physical death. Within that framework, lifetime incarceration is a far harsher punishment. Plus, the notion that executing terrorists will prevent future hostage-taking for prisoner swaps is shaky. Hamas’ relationship with Israel has long been defined by retaliatory action, which means that the state killing of Hamas prisoners is likely to lead to Hamas reciprocally executing future Israeli hostages and ‘collaborators.’
And since Israel seeks to be a transparent democracy that follows the rule of law, particularly within its judiciary, a legal death sentencing scheme also would prove costly in terms of public perception.
The reputation of the Jewish State as a bastion of moral clarity in the Middle East has dramatically changed in the more than two years since the Oct. 7 attack. The devastation of the war in Gaza, and of increasing violence in the West Bank, has led to a substantial drop in positive perceptions of Israel worldwide.
And while the Israeli judiciary has long been one of the country’s most trusted institutions, the deleterious effects of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s pre-war proposals for a judicial overhaul mean that it is no longer held in the same high regard, in Israel or the rest of the world, as it once was.
This bill has already advanced past a first reading in the Knesset. Moving it any further toward becoming law would only hasten the decline of Israel’s image.
Some of those who have argued in favor of the bill have invoked the fallacy of ‘deterrence.’ Shin Bet security service Chief David Zini even told the Security Cabinet that enacting the death penalty for terrorists who kill Israelis would help prevent future attacks.
That statement doesn’t hold up to scrutiny. Recent studies have concluded that when it comes to deterrence, there is no demonstrable link between the presence or absence of the death penalty and murder rates.
But the most profound reason to reject this bill comes from our own painful history as a people. Many Jews, including myself, have long objected to the death penalty in part because of the shadow of the Holocaust.
In this light, it is particularly troubling that the Israeli bill proposes using lethal injection against convicted terrorists. That method of capital punishment is a direct Nazi legacy, first implemented in human history by the Third Reich as part of their infamous Aktion T4 protocol, used to kill people deemed ‘unworthy of life.’
In the wake of the Holocaust and the unparalleled horrors of the 20th century, more than 70% of the nations of the world have recognized the inviolability of the human right to life, and have abolished the death penalty in law or practice.
21st-century Judaism must reflect this evolution, and Israel must never cross this moral Rubicon.
