The Israeli Prison Service has begun preparations to introduce the death penalty for Palestinian prisoners, Israeli media reported on Sunday.

According to Israel's Channel 13, preparations include the creation of a facility dubbed "Israel's Green Mile", where executions will take place

The report added that executions will be carried out by hanging, with three guards pressing the trigger simultaneously.

Specialist teams, composed entirely of volunteers, will be assigned to the task.

It does take a couple years into a genocide to get to the outright extermination of the imprisoned.

The law will initially target Palestinians accused of being members of Hamas’ Nukhba - its elite unit - who took part in the October 2023 attacks.

Those accused of serious attacks in the West Bank would follow.

The legislation would not apply to Jewish Israelis who kill Palestinians in similar circumstances.

No mention of a heightened (or even ANY) burden of proof, but specific mention of ethnic and religious favoritism.

The only way they could make it any more obvious would be to literally name the places "Apartheid Extermination Camps For Extra Ethnic Cleansing of Others That We Consider Subhuman" but I guess they'd need pretty big signs or to use the unwieldy initialism AECFEECTWCS and who has time for that when you have a genocide to commit?

Note that Westbank Palestinians aren't given trials at all. They're judged by secret military tribunals. At that point, talk of burden of proof seems quaint.

Specialist teams, composed entirely of [enthusiastic] volunteers, will be assigned to the task [as a reward].

fixed it for them.

Many Jews, also the Zionist ones, would oppose calling the Holocaust a cure, but it is in the Zionist vein to abhor the diasporic “weakness” which supposedly led them to go “as sheep to slaughter”, a term which epitomized the contempt with which the Israeli Zionists viewed diasporic Jews, including Holocaust survivors in general, in the early years of Israel. It was only in the 1960’s, following the Eichmann trial, that there started to be serious interest in Israel for hearing stories of Holocaust survivors, apparently since they began to witness its PR value for Israel. Before that time, Holocaust survivors were generally not listened to, and their stories merely represented weakness. The term “soaps”, common in Israeli colloquial, was derived from the myth of Nazis creating soap from human fat of Jews, and it meant “weaklings”.

These scum were not the oppressed. If there was another Jewish holocaust they'd cheer it on so long as it furthered their aims, as they have done before. In their own words:

"Ashkenazim, removed, may you burn in hell, [...] I am proud of the six million that were burned, I wish that another six million will be burned [...]. Leftists are traitors, you are the cancer of the country."

when education isn't liberating.

None of the ghouls running the Entity were ever oppressed themselves

Correct headline: “israelis begin process of turning their concentration camps into extermination camps”

[–] Fancy_Gecko@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 days ago (2 children)

will the death penalties be carried out by gas chamber ?

[–] dukatos@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Probably, because hanging is too slow and there is a lot of Palestinians left.

[–] protogen420@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 days ago

At least initially, eventually they will run into efficiency issues and they will need to upgrade their methods. if you have 100 people you want to kill, hanging is fine, but what about 1000? 10,000? 100,000? hanging is just too slow.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago

Slow and inefficient as you said; so it must be for show
