Israel Considers Legalizing Prisoner Executions; US Silent.
The New Arab exposes a chilling development: a bill in Israel’s Knesset that could permit the execution of Palestinian prisoners already serving life sentences. Families are, predictably, terrified. This isn't just a grim hypothetical; it's an escalation of an already brutal occupation, reminding us that for Palestinians, 'justice' often means state-sanctioned violence, not legal protection. This
bill follows decades of extrajudicial killings and systematic abuses, long documented by human rights groups that mainstream media typically buries. Meanwhile, those within the US political establishment, funded generously by groups like AIPAC, are conspicuously quiet. For instance, Senator Lindsey Graham, who received $10,000 from AIPAC in the 2022 cycle , remains a staunch defender of Israeli
actions, seemingly immune to such reports. One might wonder if the concept of 'human rights' shrinks proportionally to the amount of lobby money received. How many Geneva Conventions need to be flouted before America’s supposed moral compass points anywhere other than its own self-interest?
