| Description | MK Avigdor Lieberman (Israel Beiteinu) announced on Wednesday that he intended to propose a bill in the Knesset, whereby terrorists would be sentenced to the death penalty.
Palmah Ze'evi, whose father, former tourism minister Rehavam Ze'evi was assassinated by Palestinian terrorists in 2001, backed the suggestion, saying that Israel must present a tough deterrent against terrorists. He suggested that targeted assassinations were only the beginning of the war against terror. A would-be terrorist would reconsider his plans if he knew that the IDF would destroy the homes of everyone in his clan, Ze'evi asserted.
Former justice minister Yosef "Tommy" Lapid (Shinui) called the suggestion "ridiculous." He noted that, with the exception of the United States, the entire civilized world banned the death penalty. Besides, he added, the terrorists caught were people who intended to commit suicide anyway. |
