    You can find more about the bill on official sources like the Knesset, since it was sus the first link to the bill in the article 404'd.

    Israel is a Jewish and Democratic state, I don't see why they can't write laws that impose the death penalty on those that "kill an Israeli citizen with the intent to harm the nation of Israel or the national revival of the Jewish people"

    Every nation has the right to preserve their existence.

      The problem is that this looks like an excuse to just murder people under military occupation. It does not look like it has anything to do with defense.

      If you want this to be about defense then end the occupation. Emancipate all occupied peoples into full citizenship with equivalent protection under the same civilian legal code. Until that happens the government of Israel looks like a bunch of racist savages hell bent on murder.

      "All are equal under the law" is some cute thing?

        I am not qualified to interpret what that means in the context of Israeli law, America's equal protection clause seems to live in its own multiverse of interpretation, so I assume it is the same everywhere else.

      “There is no such thing as a Jewish terrorist,”

        (for context, this is from the article)

        > “There is no such thing as a Jewish terrorist,” said Limor Son Har-Melech, of the far-right Otzma Yehudit party, as she and the other noose-wearing supporters insisted the measure will deter militant attacks.

          Far right parties happens to be the people in power in Israel, for context.

            Sure--I was just adding that quote so it was obvious that it was from the article and not just a repeated joke line or something.

    Israeli government officials wearing golden noose lapel pins is…quite the fashion statement.
