Tlaib and Hamas Condemn Israel’s New Terrorist Death Penalty Law

Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., the Hamas terrorist organization, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, and left-leaning governments are criticizing a new Israeli law that allows for the death penalty to be administered to prisoners convicted of murdering Israeli civilians.

“The Israeli government is about to pass a law mandating the death penalty, only for Palestinian prisoners. Mass execution by hanging, solely on racial lines,” Tlaib wrote on X in response to the law. “This is apartheid and the next step in the genocide of Palestinians, already systematically tortured in Israeli prisons.”

Hamas claimed the new Israeli law shows “disregard for all humanitarian norms.”

Hamas has been at war with Israel for two and a half years. On Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas was the primary group responsible for invading Israel, brutally murdering more than 1,000 Israelis.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR for short, said that the new law is “racist.” CAIR condemned the law for making the death penalty the “default punishment” for “Palestinians in the illegally-occupied West Bank convicted of deadly attacks against Israelis.”

Other critics, such as the United Nations and foreign ministers of several European powers like the United Kingdom and France, called on Israel to repeal the “discriminatory” bill.

Proponents of the law, however, claim the law is necessary because it stops the threat of terrorists reoffending upon their release.

In a video statement posted on X, Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir defended the law, which passed the Israeli Knesset on Monday. “The State of Israel has taken a historic and necessary step in the global fight against terrorism,” Gvir claimed.

“This law ensures that those who carry out such heinous acts of terror will no longer be used as bargaining chips in future extortion attempts, thereby reducing incentives for further kidnappings,” Gvir added.

In a separate X post, Gvir added that the new law would end the “revolving door for terrorists.”

“This is a day of justice for the victims and a day of deterrence for our enemies,” Gvir wrote on X. “No more revolving door for terrorists, but a clear decision. Whoever chooses terrorism chooses death.”

Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., told The Daily Signal that it is “no surprise” that Tlaib’s remarks align with an “Islamic terrorist organization” because “she’s a terrorist.”

“When you’re sharing propaganda from terrorist organizations, that makes you a terrorist,” Fine claimed. “The terrorist sympathizers are the ones who support it quietly, the terrorists are the ones who support it openly,” Fine added.

“It would kill some of her friends, of course she’s upset,” Fine said of Tlaib’s reaction to the law. “She does not seem bothered to know that it is a death penalty offense for Palestinians who sell land to Israelis. She doesn’t seem to be bothered by Muslim terrorism, but she does seem to be bothered when a Muslim terrorist gets killed.”

“I think that tells you a lot about Rashida Tlaib,” Fine concluded. “She shouldn’t be in Congress.”

Tlaib did not respond to The Daily Signal’s request for comment.
