Israel’s racist execution policy is horrific
I just don’t know what to say anymore…
‘Discriminatory’ Israeli death penalty law would be war crime, says UN rights chief
Volker Türk says bill, which applies to Palestinians convicted of terror charges but not Jewish extremists, must be repealed
A new Israeli law that would allow the execution of Palestinians convicted on terror charges for deadly attacks, but not Jewish extremists accused of similar crimes, would constitute a war crime if enacted, according to one of the UN’s most senior human rights officials.
Speaking amid mounting international condemnation of the bill, the UN’s high commissioner for human rights, Volker Türk, described the law as “patently inconsistent with Israel’s international law obligations, including in relation to the right to life”. He added that it “raises serious concerns about due process violations, is deeply discriminatory, and must be promptly repealed”.
“Its application in a discriminatory manner would constitute an additional, particularly egregious violation of international law. Its application to residents of the occupied Palestinian territory would constitute a war crime,” Türk said.
The legislation, passed on Monday by the Israeli Knesset, has faced a wave of criticism, including from European leaders and human rights groups.

..Race Based executions?
Ummmmmmmm.
You know who else was big on race based executions?
Let’s not got there.
Even when you think to yourself, ‘well, at least the Israelis can’t actually get much worse than this’, when attempting to find some thin silver line to their Genocide, they manage to surprise you don’t they?
Race. Based. Executions?
Wow.
I mean, EVEN FOR ISRAELIS this is pretty extreme.
When you brutally oppress a people, it’s not just the oppressed who become mutilated by the abuse, the violence meted out warps the hand that whips as much and the body that takes the punishment.
The Israelis as a culture have become so drenched in victimhood trauma that they militantly pursue their enemies with a neurosis bordering on the sociopathic.
The Israelis are going to need to heal more than the people they’ve committed a genocide against.
Now that’s Irony.
