After passing two death penalty laws in six weeks, Israel is investing hundreds of millions of dollars to try to execute Palestinians on live TV. Unanimous support for the laws shows that Israeli society can unite around “death to Palestinians.”
British Member of Parliament Iqbal Mohamed asks if genocide, starvation, and the introduction of a death penalty for Palestinians alone are not red lines for this Labour government, then what is? The UK government must reevaluate its Israel policy now.
The passing of the recent Israeli death penalty law aimed at Palestinians formalizes what Israel and colonial powers have always done: creating new laws to legalize colonial violence.
