Israel’s New Death-Penalty Law Is a Counterproductive Stunt

On Monday, the Internet’s anti-Israel outrage focused on a bill passed by the Knesset that mandates the death penalty or life imprisonment for non-citizens convicted of deadly acts of terror. Needless to say, it is nothing like the monstrosity described by those whose minds are deformed by hatred of the Jewish state. Of course, the grotesque spectacle of Itamar Ben-Gvir, who championed the law, celebrating its passage with a bottle of champagne hardly makes a good impression.
