Israel’s parliament approved a one-sided death penalty measure to execute Palestinians. It’s one of the most extreme laws in the nation’s history, and will exacerbate the far-right government’s illegal system of apartheid.

Some members of the Knesset, incl. ultranationalist National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, were seen wearing noose pins in the Knesset on Monday, and celebrating with drinks on live TV after the bill passed.

Israel’s Knesset has passed a law approving the death penalty for Palestinians convicted of murdering Israelis.

The bill’s passage marked a major victory for Israel’s far right, which has pushed hard for the measure. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came to the chamber to vote “yes” in person.

The law makes the death penalty by hanging the default punishment for occupied West Bank Palestinians convicted of killings.

Right wing tech bros: we love Star Trek but it's too woke nowadays. Too preachy. Kirk's show wasn't like this.

Average TOS episode: AI is bad and should never be allowed to run a society. Also, make peace because nationalism kills and every life form must be respected equally.
