[title] Mobilize against Israel's Death Penalty Bill! [sub-title] A move to legalize the hanging of Palestinians while denying legal access, enforcing isolation, and granting total immunity to those who carry out executions. Picture of woman and man standing comforting each other

Violence and torture against Palestinians in Israeli prison camps—widely documented and condemned by international human rights bodies—has been met with impunity.This impunity has now paved the way for Israel to advance a bill for the execution of Palestinian hostages, denying them any right to appeal and holding them in isolation until execution—within 90 days. The world must act to stop this before it's too late. [Picture] Several men behind prison bars; one man in prison clothing with chains around his wrists giving two 2-fingered victory salutes.

Genocide—especially in a globalized world like ours—is never committed in a vacuum. It is normalized through racist propaganda and legitimised with immoral legislation and policies. From the colonization of Australia and Turtle Island, to the transatlantic slave trade, European colonization of Africa, the Herero and Nama massacres in German Southwest Africa, the Armenian Genocide, the Holocaust, and the Rwandan Genocide, history makes clear that law and institutions intended to protect people have repeatedly been used by colonial and authoritarian regimes to legitimize mass atrocities against racialised and vulnerable minorities.

Ben-Gvir, the Israeli far-right minister advancing the bill, has openly called for more lethal, cruel, and collectively punitive measures against Palestinians, further exposing Israel's genocidal intent and reliance on global inaction. This leaves no room for delay. Israel must face immediate consequences, including boycotts, sanctions, arms embargoes, diplomatic isolation, and international legal accountability.

Act Now!
Israel is moving to legalize executing Palestinian hostages while denying them legal access, holding them in isolation, and granting total immunity to those who carry out the killings.
This is the logical outcome of decades of impunity, racist dehumanization... 1/2
