Itamar Ben Gvir, Israel’s far-right national security minister, has called for the execution of Palestinian prisoners to ease overcrowding in the country’s jails.
Writing on social media, he welcomed a decision by the Israeli army to build 936 additional prison places for “security prisoners”. “The additional construction will allow the prison service to take in more terrorists, and will bring a partial solution to the prison crisis that exists in the Shabak,” he said, referring to the Israeli Prison Service.
“The death penalty for terrorists is the right solution to the incarceration problem, until then - glad that the government approved the proposal I brought.”
During a visit by members of the Public Defender’s Office, squalid conditions were noted, including “intolerable overcrowding”, with less than three square metres of space per person, poor sanitary conditions, pest issues, inadequate ventilation, and a lack of basic necessities for the incarcerated.
Do you think the dead notice the difference?
What kind of asinine comment is this? What does it even mean? It just seems like a snarky thought-terminating cliché to avoid actually having to engage with difficult ideas. The dead don’t notice anything, they’re dead. Do you think the living notice they weren’t murdered?
You tell me.
A meaningless, empty statement.
I think you’re lost Norbert, we’re not talking about your head.
Wow you sure showed me with your insightful commentary! Snark is definitely a substitute for a well-reasoned discussion!
My dude, dudette, I’m not here to argue with you nor am I obligated to teach you anything. Genocide has very little to do with the quantity of people killed. According to the other person’s estimate 30,000 Palestinians have been killed so far. Even if this wasn’t a genocide, that’s 30,000 people that are no longer with us. We just need a little empathy.
I never said it wasn’t a genocide, read harder. I just said your original comment was shit, I still think it was.
