Uncivilized Israeli Security Minister, Ben Gvir, Sported a Noose Pendant as he Pushed New Death Penalty Law for Palestinians

Israel's far-right national security minister, Itamar Ben Gvir, was pictured in parliament on Monday wearing a noose pendant on his lapel, as he continues to push for Palestinian prisoners to be handed the death penalty.

Posting on X, Ben Gvir boasted about wearing the icon, along with other members of his Otzma Yehudit party, in support of legislation currently passing through the parliament.

"I and the members of my Otzma Yehudit faction arrived today at the National Security Committee discussions to continue advancing the death penalty for terrorists, while wearing a pin in the shape of a hangman's noose - as a symbol of our commitment to passing the law and as a clear message that terrorists are sons of death," he wrote.

"The time has come for the death penalty for terrorists!"

Ben Gvir celebrated last month after a bill allowing the death penalty for Palestinian prisoners passed its first reading. 

The bill was approved by a majority of 39 out of 120 Knesset members, with 16 voting against in Israel's parliament.

It would allow judges to impose the death penalty on Palestinians convicted of killing Israelis on so-called “nationalistic” grounds. [MORE]
