Israel's death penalty is an 'apartheid law' says Knesset member Aida Touma-Suleiman https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/bd971674-4758-46d6-94be-5f4522951a55 In an interview with MEE’s Carolina Pedrazzi, member of the Israeli Knesset Aida Touma-Suleiman says the passing of Israel’s death penalty law for Palestinians was “a celebration of blood, a celebration of fascism and apartheid.” “History has shown that the more oppression of occupation exists, the more resistance there is … We understand that the minute that international law vanishes, then it is a wild world and there is no other way to protect those who are violated in the world,” she added. The new law passed by the Israeli parliament on Monday makes the death sentence the default punishment for Palestinians convicted of a deadly attack through military courts. It has been widely condemned by rights groups for exclusively targeting Palestinians, enshrining separate legal rights based on national identity. __ Support stories that matter.
