Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has called for the execution of Palestinians to make room in Israel’s overcrowded prisons.
Ben Gvir, leader of the hardline Jewish Power party, said he was happy that the Israeli government approved a construction plan to expand prisons but said the best solution would be the death penalty.
“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,” Ben Gvir wrote on X. “The death penalty for terrorists is the right solution to the incarceration problem, until then – glad that the government approved the proposal I brought.”
According to Middle East Eye, the Israeli Public Defender’s Office published a report that said some Israeli prisons have been declared in a state of emergency due to “intolerable overcrowding” and poor conditions. Thousands of Palestinians have been detained in Gaza since October 7, and many have reported severe abuse.
As Israel’s national security minister, Ben Gvir oversees the Israeli Prison Service. He has been pushing for a bill that would mandate the death penalty for Palestinians found guilty of terrorism in Israeli courts.
Ben Gvir is also in charge of Israeli police and border police. Back in February, he said Israeli forces should be able to shoot Palestinian women and children in Gaza who get too close to the border. “We cannot have women and children getting close to the border… anyone who gets near must get a bullet [in his head],” he said.
If Palestinians aren’t human, who else isn’t human?
All of us.
First they came for the Gazans, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t Palestinian.
Israel’s true colors shining bright! Will they stop for anyone or anything? Cold blooded mass murderers , they learned nothing from the holocaust and have become monsters!
Endless disgusting behavior from Israel and its leaders. It is a country of psychopaths. The sooner Israel ceases to exist the better. There is no hope for justice there.
So you want to wipe an entire nation because of a few nut job leaders. That is called genocide.
It’s not a matter of few nut job leaders. It is the overwhelming majority of Israeli. Young Israeli grow up with the idea that Palestinians are Untermenschen. Zionism is an ethno-supremacist ideology and so when you grow up in such a thoroughly sick society you adapt to the sickness. This is what humans do. You don’t see the sickness. So, the sickness doesn’t exist for you. This is why such an overwhelmingly huge majority of Israeli support genocide of Palestinians and are totally behind statements of their chosen leadership who explicitly stated Palestinians are not human. You should be familiar with the psychology here, because you have no trouble getting behind that too.
Now it should not be in any way controversial to wish Apartheid, racism, Nazism or Zionism cease to exist. Those are four words for essentially the same despicable thing. Wishing the thing away that is the basis for genocide is not genocide, it is the exact opposite.
Not at all. Israel as such should not exist, in my opinion. There should be a state of Palestine in which all, Jews, Muslims, Christians, all other faiths as well as atheists can live peacefully, equally and democratically. Not one person should be killed to make that happen. Same as South Africa. I am opposed to genocide everywhere!
The Zionists must have Lebensraum!
Gas chambers maybe? Why not? They have a systematic approach that parallels all of their original victimhood.

Its like condemning a nazi for saying nazilike bs, doing nazi-like crimes against humanity, in other words basically being a nazi.. ‘Rosemary’s baby”
The Liqudnik (and similar) Israelis are defacto nazis.
Ben-Gvir needs a 50 cent solution. Talk about a foaming mad, evil individual. Many of the detainees are children. In another antiwar.com post, Blinken refuses to authorize sanctions on settlers in the West Bank, where is has been determined that killing and rape of Palestinians has been done by settlers.
If there was justice in the world, there’d be a lottery to see who could pull the switch to fry this piece of shit. Hell, make it a world wide lottery. I’ll mortgage my house to buy tickets. And I have a hard time killing insects.
You may have a hard time killing insects but you have no problem rooting for the deaths of people you don’t like.
That would be because I have more respect for insects than certain people. You included.
You have chosen to commit yourself to writing apologies for Israeli genocide. You put a lot of time and effort in trivializing genocide and the suffering of the Palestinian people. I am assuming you do this voluntarily. What do you estimate the height of the moral ground you are standing on is when berating someone for expressing his or her disgust for the latest outrageous call for more crimes against humanity from this murderous Israeli fascist piece of shit.
And all those truly horrible deaths he caused and which you applaud are actually real.
Ya know, baby Israel, time to wash your mouth out with soap or maybe even some kerosene! And maybe light a match! Lol.
“We cannot have women and children getting close to the border… anyone who gets near must get a bullet [in his head],” he said. (with a straight face no less
Time to bring back my “Israel is so nice” routine for my Israeli fans here. Israel is so nice, …just fill in the blank.
Boring.
If anything good comes out of this, one piece will be the documentation that Palestinian-hating Israelis have voluntarily put into the public space.
The German Nazis, by contrast, were extremely circumspect and scrupulously bureaucratic about maintaining a rule-abiding public face. In its own way, that attitude compelled them to keep extensive records about the murders and thefts they committed. But they never advertised it at the time. They kept their mass murders private. Germans are very rule-oriented. Very proper.
While the Israelis like Ben Gvir on the other hand feel no inhibitions about launching into a public foaming-at-the-mouth call for the public murder of anyone accused of terrorism. Which is of course, anyone Palestinian who falls into their hands. That is why the Israeli prisons are crowded with Palestinians.
All I can say is, if there really is a Jewish messiah coming, He ain’t agoin to be wearin a happy face when he get to Jeruslem. An some of the folk there gots a lot of ‘splainin to do.
