Death Penalty For Palestinians Only

[June, 2026]. On March 30, 2026, the Israeli Knesset passed a new death penalty law, described as “one of the world’s most extreme death penalty laws.” Designed to apply only to Palestinians, the law is situated within a broader history of discriminatory laws imposed under Israel’s system of apartheid. This visual explores Israel’s new death penalty law, highlighting how Israel applies separate legal systems in the same territory—civil law for Israelis and military law for Palestinians. This legal dualism simultaneously strips Palestinians of the fundamental right to a fair trial and ensures that Israeli settlers and soldiers operate with near total impunity.
