Finally, Israel has passed a law allowing the death penalty for murder.

It uses a phrase, quote, with the intent of rejecting the existence of the state of Israel.

It appears to be a binary system of punishment, right?

It seems that the death penalty is only going to pertain to Palestinian people here.

Yeah.

It's worth noting the Palestinians, the West Bank, tried in military courts and they face a very high conviction rate.

Often people will admit, I think we can safely say that they admit under duress in conditions that would not generally be considered applicable with justice, right?

This is, I mean, this is an apartheid legal system on top of everything else, right?

Israel previously hadn't had the death penalty other than for certain war crimes, which is in and of itself quite amusing given...

Stuff we will talk about later in this very episode.

One of the really bleak things about this is, oh God, Ben-Gavir, who's the Minister of National Security, the unbelievably unhinged right-winger who's been campaigning for this law, has been going around with a bunch of his parliamentary factions wearing yellow noose pins.

Yeah, this is their thing.

And in support of this, so it really truly cannot be clearer what this is about.

Yeah, no, that's their version of the Maga Hat, I guess.

Their branding of their movement is this noose pin.

Yeah, well, specifically it's the thing that they've replaced the ribbon they were wearing for the hostages has now just been replaced with a noose.

Yeah, it's pretty disgusting.

Jesus Christ.

There's one more little thing I'd like to mention.

There was a Daily Mail article that went viral.
