El Parlamento israelí aprobó hoy, con votos del oficialismo, la Ley de Pena de Muerte, que instaura la ejecución como pena para los palestinos condenados por terrorismo. Además de las objeciones morales a la pena de muerte, la ley en la práctica consagra legalmente prácticas discriminatorias y contrarias al derecho internacional e israelí. Expertos en seguridad advirtieron al parlamento que, lejos de disuadir futuros ataques terroristas, la ley puede de hecho tener el efecto opuesto. La aprobaci��n de la ley fue celebrada con champagne en el recinto por su principal promotor, el diputado multicondenado por terrorismo Itamar Ben-Gvir. "Esta ley no es ni ética, ni judía, ni democrática ni aporta a la seguridad", anunció en el parlamento el diputado Guilad Kariv, miembro del partido Hademocratim.
Publicó el diputado tras su aprobación: "Israel no se convertirá en un Estado kahanista. Presentaré una petición ante la Corte Suprema de Justicia en los próximos días, junto al Instituto Zulat y la Voz Rabínica por los Derechos Humanos, en contra de la Ley de Pena de Muerte: una ley inmoral que contradice los valores fundamentales del Estado de Israel. Cada día que la ley sea parte del boletín oficial del Estado de Israel es una mancha a nuestra imagen y nuestros valores. No lo toleraremos".
La sociedad israelí se organiza para impedir un nuevo ataque a sus instituciones de parte de la extrema derecha en el poder. Compartí para apoyar la causa.
I have a lot of journalists following me and I am imploring you, if you are writing about the antisemitic attack in Golders Green, *please* emphasise these two things:
- Hatzola is a volunteer-driven, no-cost service that is *entirely* self-funded. It relies 100% on private donations and community fundraising rather than government or public NHS funding.
- While operating in largely Jewish areas, it services Jews and non-Jews equally.
You may not deem it necessary to include this information, and in a perfect world it would not be. However, these are the two lies being spread by antisemites in order to justify the attack and use it to spread even more hostility against the Jewish people. Please include these facts.
Contemporary antisemitism is mostly due to antisemites. Yes, the actions of Israel provide "cover" for their words and actions, but the blame here still lies with antisemites and, more importantly, a society that allows and even encourages their views.
SHOCKING: Antisemitic flyers were plastered at the Charlotte JCC and the Charlotte Jewish Day School.
Imagine being a young child and reading that “local Naz*s” want to “swing you by the neck.” Imagine dropping your child off at school and seeing flyers threatening to murder them.
This has absolutely nothing to do with Zionism, politics, or Palestinians. These are death threats from antisemitic cowards targeting Jewish children at their own school.
Utterly vile.

💥𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐄, 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐈𝐬𝐫𝐚𝐞𝐥, 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭. The nation is awash with protests. This sign reads: "The People of Israel will remember what Bibi did after the murder of the 6."

La visita que ofreció el Fiscal Gertz al rancho de #Teuchitlán para familias buscadoras y medios, se convirtió en una exhibición de desprecio, crueldad y maltrato a las víctimas. Lo que se les hace en lo oscurito ahora quedó televisado/1
💥#Breaking: IDF reports that the remains of Ariel and Kfir Bibas have been positively identified. They appear to have been murdered by their captors over a year ago. The third body is not that of their mother, Shiri, or of any other known hostage.
The images from October 7th took me right back. My mother's terrified eyes, my father's haggard face.
We've seen these horrors before. Believe us Holocaust survivors while we are still here to tell you.

🧠 allometry is not heavily impacted by TIV and the sex differences are subtle
🧠 TIV might impact the performance in “verbal and numerical reasoning”, “working memory”, and “non-verbal reasoning” domains 9/10
