An Israeli parliamentary committee has advanced a bill to allow the execution of Palestinian prisoners.

Under the bill, judges would be able to impose the death penalty on Palestinians who kill Israelis based on so-called “nationalistic” motives.

The law would not apply to Israelis who kill Palestinians under similar circumstances.

The bill - introduced by Limor Son Har-Melech, a lawmaker from Itamar Ben Gvir’s Otzma Yehudit party - was approved on Sunday by the Knesset’s National Security Committee, with four lawmakers voting in favour and one against.

    It’s like kids who got beaten up by their dads, and how they are more likely to beat their own kids.

    Just… You know… Genocide…

      what is more humane, killing people systemically with gas champers or starving and force to drag their shit for 2km then bombing them?
