Due Process and Fair Trial Issues

Beyond the question of capital punishment itself, the bill raises broader concerns regarding due process.

Military courts in the occupied West Bank have long been criticized by international organizations for failing to meet fair trial standards. Critics argue that introducing the death penalty within such a system significantly heightens the risk of irreversible miscarriages of justice.

The proposed law further limits safeguards by restricting appeals, eliminating clemency, and allowing convictions and sentencing through simplified judicial procedures.

UN experts have warned that the combination of these factors — including vague definitions of “terrorism” — could result in death sentences being imposed in cases that do not meet the strict criteria required under international law.

Let me get this right. *NOW* it is an Apartheid regime? Not before when they created a whole separate road system for Palestinians? Or when they decided to give Palestinians far less rights and worse living circumstances, put them in refugee camps and systematically rib them of life and livelihood? Backed up by law?

Now the _ultimate_ Apartheid has been legislated, allowing Palestinians to be killed (needing. judges cannot deviate from that verdict) *now* it is Apartheid.

Go fuck yourselves. Really

How much more so, then, when it is made the default, must be speedily carried out, cannot be subject to #clemency, & is blatantly #discriminatory - not merely in practice but inherently. The #law passed by Israel’s #Knesset on Monday is worded to effectively apply only to #Palestinians, entrenching what many... have identified as practices amounting to #apartheid."
The Guardian view on Israel’s death penalty: capital punishment is always wrong. This new law is doubly so
