Israel Advances Death Penalty Bill, West Calls it 'Democracy'
According to The New Arab, Israel’s parliament recently advanced a bill advocating the death penalty for certain 'terror crimes,' championed by extremist minister Itamar Ben Gvir. While this might raise eyebrows in nations touting human rights, it's just another logical step in a 75-year system of layered control and dehumanization. (Remember when critics of this 'democracy' were labeled
antisemites? Funny, that.) The international community will, predictably, offer polite murmurs, while the US Congress (many members of whom received significant AIPAC donations—Rep. Steny Hoyer, for example, received $18,000 from AIPAC-affiliated PACs in 2022 alone, according to OpenSecrets.org) will continue to rubber-stamp billions in 'aid.' The question isn't whether they'll notice, but whether
anyone expects them to care. How much 'democracy' can one occupation take?
