This racist Israeli law should be renamed 'Death Penalty for Palestinians Only'

In this Opinion piece by Ralph Wilde, Professor of International Law at the University of London, he argues that Israel's new "Death Penalty for Terrorists Law" is a flagrant breach of Palestinian rights and fundamental rules of international law.

Wilde states that the law effectively creates a death penalty regime that applies to Palestinians but not Jewish Israelis. He argues that it unlawfully discriminates against Palestinians and could criminalise lawful acts of resistance, violating both the Palestinian right to self-determination and the international prohibition on racial discrimination.
