And what about israelis that commit deadly attacks? Separate laws for separate people is wrong

Yes before even this law existed the isralies got civil court the Palestinians got military court

In the past Israelis also got administrative detention, but the current government changed that. No longer any reason to appeal to western ideals when you're invincible and will face no consequences.

Colonialism and the inequality and brutality that come with it are western ideals

jagdpanzer45 Mar 31, 2026 +41
Other way around: the west holds colonialist ideals, but it does not own them. Colonialism is not solely committed by the west in the modern day nor has it been historically only a western tradition.

Whats fascist about denying people a civilian hearing, forcing them into a military court, refusing to give them visitors, defaulting to the death penalty, and executing them within just 90 days? oh wait, never mind

There was already talk of a ["special tribunal" ](https://www.dw.com/en/israel-passes-controversial-death-penalty-law/a-76586475)\- e.g a show trial - for anyone they select as being responsible for Oct 7th. "execution tonight at 6 all net all channels, would you like to know more?"

There's a bipartisan agreement that it's "Antisemitism" to ever accuse any Jewish person or group of Jewish people of behaving like Fascists or Nazis. Apparently Jewish people are the only people on the planet immune from behaving in a Fascist way, according to the US government.

I mean, Israel is an apartheid state. It has always maintained separate law and enforcement for Palestinians, typical through military kangaroo courts

WhileCultchie Mar 30, 2026 +55
They get let out of jail later the same day, if they even get arrested at all. That's assuming the IDF hasn't actually assisted in settlement attacks as has been documented. Collusion between the IDF and settlers is even more egregious than the collusion between Loyalist Paramilitaries and British state security forces in the North of Ireland.

FalafelSnorlax Mar 31, 2026 +16
And this is probably _the_ most apartheid law Israel has ever had. People labeled as "terrorists" in the west bank will be judged based on different laws to people within Israel, and they will be faced with a death penalty charge _by default_, without option for pardon. The minister that promoted it also has the option to decide under what law the defendants are prsecuted (ie, he can decide to prosecute settler terrorists under Israeli law, so that they won't have to face the death penalty). This also only seems to apply to terrorism in the west bank (where Ben Gvir's voter base lives) and not elsewhere, so for example people that participated in the massacres on October 7 aren't even in this. Literally just a law by a person who was convicted of terrorism charges to personally exact revenge on people doing harm to his own voters. Again, probably the worst law Israel has ever had.

no it's okay when israelis commit deadly attacks because literally everyone else is either Hamas or Hezbollah and also it's antisemitic to say israel is in any way in the wrong /s not /s: israel is a terrorist state committing a systematic genocide and should be treated like the rogue nation it is.

Expect this to get blocked by the Supreme Court. They already know it will happen. The Supreme Court will either force them to apply this law to everyone, including Jewish terrorists, or it will outright cancel it. This isn't the first time they've tried to do something like this. Edit: Not even an hour has passed and the first petition against this law [has already been filed.](https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/civil-rights-org-files-petition-against-death-penalty-law-calls-it-unconstitutional-discriminatory/)

I wonder why the only democracy in the Middle East would create different sets of laws for different groups of people, especially a group of people they argue does not actually exist by any discernable measure...
1120
hotsexychungus Mar 30, 2026 +595
Some people might call having different rights for different groups of people depending on inherent traits "apartheid", but that can't be right since this is the only democracy in the middle east.
595
Mathisonsf Mar 30, 2026 +192
Well, but, surely all citizens are at least allowed to freely traverse the borders of the nation they live in without being subjected to different restrictions for different groups. No need to look into it further.
192
Dependent-Poet-9588 Mar 30, 2026 +117
Yeah, all citizens. If you don't let Palestinians* become citizens, then nothing's amiss right? * Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza are treated as citizens of the Palestinian Authority, not Israel, but the PA isn't a functional state like the Israeli government is. They're effectively stateless.
117
Wiseduck5 Mar 30, 2026 +36
Which is exactly what South Africa did with the Bantustans.
36
Pack_Your_Trash Mar 30, 2026 +57
The Israelis like to argue that the PA is an independent government despite their inability to raise an army, levy taxes, administer civilian infrastructure... aka do the things that governments do. Oh also there is a hostile foreign military patrolling their streets and arresting people for laws they don't administer, and in the case where their citizens are arrested instead of just outright murdered they are tried in a foreign court. Totally independent though.
57
rookie-on-the-road Mar 30, 2026 +33
And they also condemn and criticise other states for recognising that Palestinian state as an independent nation.

Every democracy in the history of the world has experienced this issue. Doesn’t exactly take a rocket surgeon to discern that a democracy is only as liberal as its population.

Gentle_Snail Mar 30, 2026 +71
Sadly democracies don’t automatically make people good if the population itself is racist.  Famosly a lot of the most racist policies in the British Empire were actually brought in after Dominions became self governing. Australia implemented its White Australia policy literally immediately after federation for example.

Democracy has a hard time when its really not democratic and for service of the people. Instead, people are marginalized, manipulated, and power concentrated in the few. People don't really have the power when every bit of narrative is made to believe its all democratic. Its just the rational and reasonable voices of the masses get distorted and hijacked by the few, powerful, and extremely corruptly rich. America, Europe, Israel etc... all the same..
11
Handgun_Hero Mar 30, 2026 +3
Australia also had and was allowed to keep its program of abduction and slave trading of South Sea Islanders despite the international Empire ban of it. That program was basically responsible for the successful settlement and growth of all of North Queensland through the cotton and sugar industry directly leading to cities like Townsville, Mackay and Cairns. It was directly responsible for the success of CSR as a company. The trade continued until the 1930's.

Karffs Mar 30, 2026 +29
Isn’t the comment you’re replying to explaining that they *don’t* have different rights and that’s why it will be blocked? Like it sounds like they’re explaining a benefit of a robust judicial system in a modern democracy. Am I misunderstanding?
29
ScientificSkepticism Mar 30, 2026 +28
Except they kinda do. For instance, Palestinians don't have access to bomb shelters [Less Than 1% of Public Bomb Shelters in Israel Are in Palestinian Communities](https://zeteo.com/p/less-than-1-of-public-bomb-shelters) Israel has separate schools for Jewish students, and gives them far more money than schools for Palestinian students. >When it comes to education funding among lower socioeconomic segments of the population, Arab primary schools receive 30 percent less funding than Jewish primary schools, intermediate schools receive 50 percent less than Jewish intermediate level schools, and secondary level schools receive 75 percent less than Jewish secondary level schools. [interactive encyclopedia of the palestine question – palquest | the education of palestinians in israel](https://www.palquest.org/en/highlight/14378/education-palestinians-israel) Jewish people are favored in business, housing, and other government initiatives. You might remember these sorts of policies from part of America in the 1940s, 50s, and 60s.

christhomasburns Mar 30, 2026 +14
So because it might be stopped later its not a problem to create a law that is inherently racist and violent?
14
thenutstrash Mar 30, 2026 +12
The law of death penalty already exists, it was just (almost) never applied, and reverted when it was applied. This is populism, you pass a law in a variation that wont pass the supreme court or the security forces in Israel and then blame the court for everything wrong when terrorists do bad things. Politics, in short.
12
Common-Second-1075 Mar 31, 2026 +8
All countries have different laws for citizens and non-citizens. Palestinians are not citizens of Israel. Israeli Arabs are, but this law doesn't apply to them. It's a military law enacted in relation to a military occupation. I personally don't agree with the law or how Palestinians are treated, but the argument that countries don't have different laws for different groups of people based on their legal status is simply incorrect.

onarainyafternoon Mar 30, 2026 +11
Look man, I'm all for shitting on the Israeli state; but Israel is by far not even close to the only democracy that has tried this sort of bullshit. The fact that their supreme court is functioning enough to block something like this should be seen as a positive.
11
Rhye5 Mar 30, 2026 +12
Unfortunately, Israel’s SC has been under attack from the right wing coalition for almost 5 years now- this law is meant to try to derail the discourse in the country even further. The law itself is worded terribly- plus the fact that the SC won’t approve a law like this if it doesn’t apply to every terrorist in this country. So when this inevitably gets rejected, the right wing party can start the whole “See?? The SC loves and protects Arab terrorists” and thus another discourse will begin. The in-state politics in Israel are in this loop for a very long time now…

sevenleggedspider Mar 30, 2026 +11
Whether this is struck down by their Supreme Court doesn't matter. Israel wants to be an apartheid state. This proves that they've elected racist psychopaths to run their country. It's absolutely sickening that their genocidal crusades are funded by other countries who are scared to sanction them, let alone condemn them.
11
PuertoricanMofongo Mar 30, 2026 +371
So with this law, if it's a Palestinian in the West Bank, the death penalty is automatic? But for Israelis it's "an option"? This is a law is written in a way that it will apply almost exclusively to Palestinians? My tax money is being wasted in a place like this?
371
Clockwork_Orchid Mar 30, 2026 +245
It's not even an option iirc, it has to be a crime "against the Jewish people or the State of Israel's right to exist" which means that Jewish on Palestinian violence is ineligible for the death penalty.
245
PuertoricanMofongo Mar 30, 2026 +113
Insane, man. It's only a matter of time until they execute a child for throwing a rock. Well, they kind of have done that, technically.
113
Diplomatic-Immunityi Mar 30, 2026 +84
They do this all the time, everyone knows it. This is just a legal mechanism to force them to be executed by the state even if they surrender. 
84
Electronic_Topic1958 Mar 31, 2026 +14
They already executed, raped, bombed, bludgeoned, and forced out millions of people in 1948 for the crime of not being Jewish. They’re a terrorist society from the very beginning. Murdering children for throwing rocks and destroying their homes is not even the worst of it of that place. 
14
Clockwork_Orchid Mar 30, 2026 +11

A straight up apartheid law
573
scheeeeming Mar 30, 2026 +107
they will obviously continue to deny it, but hoping this pushes more sane people in the middle to confidently call them what they are. An apartheid state. "But muslims can vote!" can only go so far. Israel is only going to get more extreme and eventually people will be shocked that there was ever a debate over this
107
ThePlacidAcid Mar 30, 2026 +26
Palestinians in Israel propper can vote, however the vast majority of Palestinians under pretty much direct Israeli rule live in the west bank, and these people cannot vote. The reason these people are not allowed to vote is so that the Palestinian voting block in Israel can never be a threat to the ethnic domination of Jewish people in the politics of the country.
26
Beyond_Styx_ Mar 30, 2026 +34
Israel might straight up build concentration camps and call it "Auschwitz" and people would still defend it.
34

They would call if the anti-Auschwitz doctrine. Fox News would be saying it’s a Preemptive Holocaust. 
18
JacobK101 Mar 30, 2026 +39
it's more insidious than aparteid. Any palestinian detained by israel for any reasons is basically assumed terrorist until proven innocent, and there's essentially no due process to achieve "proven innocent" Even if explicit proof comes out to support a palestinian's innocence, the government is at liberty to ignore it if they would like to do so(and believe it or not, they tend to like to do so) This law is a route to "process" those palestinian prisoners, so that their jail cells can be used for new palestinian prisoners, who can then be "processed"...

I don't think the US even had laws this blatant under Jim Crow. On paper, it was supposed to be "separate but equal." We do have racial disparities in the use of the death penalty (one of many reasons to oppose it), but in theory, it's applicable to everyone equally.

I expect that if passes it’ll be another evil way to do atrocious things and say it’s legal therefore moral. F*** THESE ASSHOLES.

What about a law that gives the death penalty to israelis convicted of lethal attacks?

As if you didn't need any more proof that Israeli is a hypocritical apartheid ethno-state.

Remember: if Israel didn't do genocide because they had trials and due military process of law, then neither did Germany. Kangaroo courts and "security actions" were always legal and papertrail'd.

They’re gonna say words can be lethal too

Remember - the law is only for Palestinians. That means an Israeli killing another will get jail time

And an Israeli killing a Palestinian will get nothing at all

Marcysdad Mar 30, 2026 +13
I have to correct you there. The Israeli gets media coverage and is celebrated and possibly gets a medal for killing a Palestinian
13
RoscoeSantangelo Mar 30, 2026 +11
> found guilty of intentionally carrying out deadly attacks deemed acts of terrorism by a military court. They already kill without provisions, now they get to legally declare anything terrorism in a court that has no due process

Israeli soldiers already use any excuse to murder men, women, and children. For example: a palestinian child threw a rock at a soldier so they shot him and forced him to bleed to death on the ground for over 45 minutes, despite there being a medic present who could have saved his life and his family actively trying to help him. They act like Arabic individuals are beneath being human, which has been recorded on video. In reality, they are the monsters.

Realistic-Lemon-7171 Mar 31, 2026 +6
correction: they CLAIMED he threw a rock. There video evidence that one of the soldiers dropped something that looks like a rock next to the boy, then took a picture of the boy and the item (probably for proof that he threw a rock).

voidox Mar 31, 2026 +3
ya, the liberal zionists are going "the military said it won't enforce this law! the supreme court will block it!" as if that means anything, the issue is that the law passed in the first place + said military is currently committing a genocide killing/torturing/abusing men, women, children on a daily basis, wtf are these ppl on about?

What is the penalty for lethal attacks against children? Asking for everyone who saw what happened in Gaza

Clockwork_Orchid Mar 30, 2026 +8
This bill only allows the death penalty for crimes against Jews, not crimes against Arabs

meister2983 Mar 31, 2026 +2
Strictly speaking it is terrorism opposed to Israel's existence. If you just kill a Jew out of a personal vandetta, it's not eligible

Aren’t they already killing them for simply breathing?

one thing to the liberal zionists who are going "oh well the supreme court will stop this!" as if that makes it all okay, how are you ignoring the issue that this law passed in the first place? a literal insanely evil apartheid law being passed is not an issue cause the supreme court might block it? wat? and here is Ben-Givir celebrating this: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/f48NPN5AFew

Stubbs94 Mar 30, 2026 +10
The Holocaust was legal. Genocide is legal within the country doing it. Israel as a state is designed around denying Palestinians their humanity for Jewish supremacy.

A_Nonny_Muse Mar 30, 2026 +4
While I accept that Israeli police have a right to defend themselves when attacked, it's hard to imagine anywhere else in the world where the police kill over 90% of the people they're supposed to arrest. Why did they feel any need to pass a law? It's already a death sentence over 90% of the time.
4
Shady_bookworm51 Mar 30, 2026 +7
oh because this law will be used to make Palestinians that act in self defence against attacking settlers terrorists.

A_Nonny_Muse Mar 30, 2026 +3
So, nothing changes.

TheInfelicitousDandy Mar 31, 2026 +3
Legal pretext matters, even if the outcome is the same. When the Nazi's first labelled Jews as criminals, it wasn't done directly; it wasn't illegal to be Jewish, but by a series of laws that made it hard for Jews to live. So they couldn't have relationships with non-Jews, they couldn't participate in certain public activities, own certain things, live in certain areas etc. This was done incrementally. Then, when such laws were broken, this allowed them to label individual Jews as criminals, which acted as a sufficient reason for the general public to move these people to camps. Having these kinds of ethnic specific laws is how you get a [Dual State](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_state_\(model\)). So, not only is this more evidence that Israel is a fascist state, but it's an escalation of the prerogative state, which will make it easier to create further anti-Palestinian laws. Invoking the reaction 'so nothing is different' is the point to such a law as they have just taken what was before their unlawful violence and made it law; it's how they boil us frogs.

Dildo_Banging_Me Mar 31, 2026 +3
Oh so now they will just label any palestinian as a "lethal attack commiter" and murder them under their law. Fun fact you executing people behind local laws (Nazis did it) doesn't change it being a war crime or a crime against humanity.

EnemyOfAi Mar 31, 2026 +4
They about to execute 6 year old boys for struggling as they get raped (resisting the Israeli soldier raping them is an act of violence of course). "See how violent even the Palistinian children are? Look how aggresively they attack our soldiers as we r*** them! Evil, evil Palistinians". This sounds like hyperbole but it is literally how they justify the genocide. "If they didn't want to be eradicated why do they fight for their freedom?" Pisses me off so much. Israel can go burn in hell.

lurpeli Mar 30, 2026 +9
What a shock. If they could they'd pass a law killing Palestinians just for being Palestinian. They're just as bad as the Nazis that once killed them. Netanyahu and his ilk apparently took the Holocaust as a lesson in how to commit murder, not a lesson in trying to prevent it ever again. As a Jew I am ashamed of Israel and I frankly don't care if it's wiped off the map Edit: down voted, guess the pro-israel lobby is out in force
