In April, for the first time, Israel convicted Palestinian citizens for chanting slogans. Local Call Reporter Baker Zoubi wrote about how a Haifa court found two men guilty of “indirect incitement to terrorism” after they joined an anti-war protest, and lawyers warn it sets a dangerous precedent.

The hypocricy is staggering,

Well hey convicting them instead of just shooting them or dropping bombs on them is progress I guess.

I wouldn’t be so sure

Last week, Israel’s death penalty drive entered its next stage: Lawmakers in the Knesset voted 93-0 to create a special military court to try Palestinians accused of perpetrating the October 7 attacks. As Sari Bashi argued, the new tribunal will be designed to subvert due process rights — and by allowing for confessions extracted through torture, will likely lead to mass executions.

On April 29, the Haifa Magistrate’s Court convicted 31-year-old activist Mohammad Taher Jabareen and 42-year-old attorney Ahmad Khalifa of “indirect incitement to terrorism” and “identification with a terrorist organization,” charges that carry a combined maximum sentence of eight years in prison. The decision came after more than 30 months of legal proceedings — during which Khalifa and Jabareen were held in administrative detention for four and eight months, respectively, before being released to house arrest.

So bringing the death penalty for “terrorists”, then politically run courts to label people as “terrorists”. It’s just genocide with legal backing, and now Israel found another way to genocide the Palestinians with Israeli nationality.
