Israel’s Ben-Gvir Posts Gallows Video as Death Penalty Law Takes Effect
The Spin
A minister preening beside gallows built exclusively for Palestinians is obscenity staged as spectacle — propaganda for extermination. Worse still is the law behind it: a Jim Crow lynching statute engineered to hang Palestinians while shielding Israelis who commit identical crimes. This is not justice or counterterrorism — it's apartheid twisted into rope, and impunity written into statute.
Executing convicted terrorist murderers is the only punishment that guarantees they never kill again. Yahya Sinwar got a life sentence, ran terrorist operations from inside prison and masterminded Oct. 7 after being released. DeterrenceRoughly aside, execution permanently ends recidivism, and roughly 80% of convicted murderers released in prisoner swaps returned to terrorism, while execution permanently ends recidivism.
