While many countries are abolishing or reducing the use of the death penalty, Israel is doing the opposite, writing it into law. Israel’s Death Penalty Law institutionalizes and legalizes the state’s mechanism for executing Palestinians.
Since October 2023, Israel has killed at least 72,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, and at least 1,050 Palestinians in the West Bank. During this time, more than 80 Palestinian prisoners have died in Israeli prisons, which have turned into a network of torture camps where prisoners are subjected to continuous abuse and violence.
The death penalty law adds another official killing mechanism to existing practices.
The mass incarceration of Palestinians is a feature of Israel’s apartheid regime. As of March 2026, about 9,500 Palestinians are held in inhumane conditions in Israeli prisons, roughly half of them under administrative detention or as “unlawful combatants,” without trial and with no ability to defend themselves.
Death penalty for Palestinians only:
The law is worded to apply to Palestinians only, and it is set to make the killing of Palestinians a normalized, common punitive tool through several mechanisms:
The law gives military courts no discretion. Military judges will be required to sentence Palestinians convicted of murder to death, except in “special circumstances.” There is no requirement for a unanimous decision. A simple majority will suffice, and avenues for appeal will be extremely limited.
Only Palestinians are tried in military courts. Their conviction rate is 96%, based largely on “confessions” extracted under duress and torture during interrogations.
The penalty, execution by hanging, must be carried out within 90 days of sentencing, with no possibility of pardon. A designated prison officer will execute the sentence.
The law, which enjoys broad public support in Israel, is expected to pass in the Knesset tomorrow, Monday, 30 March. The Israel Prison Service has already begun preparing designated execution facilities.
The death penalty is a total violation of the most basic human rights, primarily, the right to life. Israel enforces a comprehensive policy of killing and oppression against the Palestinian people in all the territories it controls. The Death Penalty Law gives Israel’s apartheid regime yet another tool for advancing that policy.
I don't think people understand the gravity of the situation as the UN is preparing for possible nuclear weapon use in Iran.
This is a picture of Tehran. For you uneducated, untraveled, never-served, warhawks licking your chops at the thought of bombing it. It's not some low population desert. There are families, children, family pets. Regular working class people with dreams. You're sick to want war.
Tehran is a city of nearly 10,000,000 people. Imagine nuking Washington, Berlin, Paris, London, or beyond, bombed with nuclear weapons.
I gave up my diplomatic career to leak this information. I suspended my duties so as not to be part of or a witness to this crime against humanity, in an attempt to prevent a nuclear winter before it is too late.
Yesterday, nearly ten million people protested “No Kings” in the United States. The possibility of the use of nuclear weapons must be taken very seriously. It's dangerous. Act now. Spread this message worldwide. Take the streets. Protest for our humanity and future. Only the people can stop it. History will remember us.
Insane framing.
He was anally gang-raped.
He was severely beaten and then anally gang-raped on camera. Both a knife and a taser were reportedly used.
There was a hole in his rectal wall. He got surgery for it.
Because he was anally gang-raped by the IDF (on camera).
He also had 7 broken ribs and other injuries as well.
After it happened, Israelis staged multiple large protests in the streets. Not because they believe these soldiers did anything wrong, but because they were infuriated that the soldiers were arrested for anally gang-raping a Palestinian on camera.
These protests weren’t just random people. They included multiple high ranking Knesset members (their Congress) who defended the anal gang/rapists.
They didn’t stop there. They went after the lawyer who leaked the video. She was publicly smeared, was forced to resign, and was arrested.
And now the anal gang-rapists who were caught on camera have had their charges dropped. They didn’t win in court. They weren’t somehow exonerated. The charges were completely and indefensibly dropped. The Jerusalem Post reports that there was sufficient evidence to take this to trial.
This is part of a larger pattern of torture and impunity. NYT and many other major outlets have extensively detailed the abuses at the Sde Teiman torture factory. NYT reported that Prisoners lose 30+ pounds, a nurse was anally raped by a metal rod, another man was raped by a dog, and another was anally raped by a fiery hit rod until he died. Yes, the NYT reported all of that. I’ll share sources in the replies. Torture and sexual assault are commonplace at Sde Teiman, and many prisoners die in the process.
The UN concluded that rape from IDF soldiers is so commonplace that it constitutes official “strategy of war”.
And of course these monsters virtually never face jail time. Because Israelis by and large don’t have any problem with any of it.
This is just what their society does.
They torture Palestinians.
URGENT AND ALARMING…
A mysterious virus is spreading rapidly among children in the displacement camps, and no one knows its exact cause yet.
Some doctors believe it's being transmitted by the rats that are swarming these overcrowded, unsanitary areas unfit for human life.
The symptoms are severe, and the number of cases keeps rising…with no available treatment or even proper diagnosis in exhausted Gaza.These children have no immunity left too weak to face a new virus after surviving hunger, fear, and constant displacement.
The situation is spiraling out of control, and no one is stepping in.
What’s happening is a crime in every sense of the word, and the world must not remain silent.
"Anti-war populist" Tucker slavishly applauds a war criminal who violently deposed a head of state--at the meeting to sell off the country's oil to corporations
@yazanomarrr Every sentence I try out fails to convey even a tiny speck - a dot's worth of what I feel inside, and how broken I am by the suffering being inflicted upon you. I will never EVER stop talking about Palestine. I will never forget you, or feel normal again until you are FREE <3
Likely raped to death.
A doctor. A stellar surgeon. The embodiment of Palestinian ethics.
Likely raped to death.
The racism of Western media who are not covering this, and Western politicians who are not denouncing this, together with the thousand other testimonies and allegations of rape and other forms of mistreatment and torture that Palestinians have suffered in Israeli jails, is absolutely sickening.
@Heccles94 You are advocating for the British ruling class to use the long arm of the law to restrict citizens' access . . . to the very platform you are speaking from? I guess you think it's harmful for *other* citizens--the unwashed masses; those more primitive than you.
No thanks & GTFO!
No one understands what's happening…relentless, hysterical bombing since dawn until now.
Gaza is collapsing once again, and fear fills the streets and tents.
Explosions are hitting everywhere schools, homes, and even tents are not spared.
Everything is being targeted, as if they’ve decided to erase all signs of life here.
People are running, children are screaming, and shelters are nothing but a distant dream.
A “ceasefire”? Just empty words that mean nothing here.
The war never really stopped it was just catching its breath and now it's back, more brutal than ever.
Who will stop this hell?
Who will prevent the next massacre?
We’re living every moment as if it’s our last, while the world just watches.
Gaza is now completely submerged the scene is unbearably harsh, beyond description.
Water has flooded everything. The tents couldn’t withstand the heavy rain and have torn apart over the heads of women and children, who have nothing but their shivering bodies for shelter.
Just moments ago, a crumbling wall collapsed on a small child who was running to escape the downpour. His condition is extremely critical, and no one has been able to pull him out yet.
Rainwater, mixed with sewage, has flooded the tents, contaminated the food, soaked the bedding and even reached our living, breathing bodies.
We are being bombed from the sky, drowning from the ground, freezing from the cold, and starving to exhaustion.This is not just a storm… this is a deliberate catastrophe, left to finish what the war did not.
We are not asking for the impossible just caravans to shelter us, to protect us from the rain, from the cold, from death.But it seems the world doesn’t care about even the most basic human rights.
Pressure them. Speak out. Do something. Just don’t stay silent.
Because the world’s silence is a partner in what’s happening to us.
