JERUSALEM (VINnews) — Knesset member Limor Son Har-Melech, who initiated a bill to impose the death penalty on terrorists, said on Tuesday that the law would apply only to those who “harm the State of Israel.”

When asked whether the law would also apply to Jewish attackers, the Otzma Yehudit lawmaker replied, “If there are such Jews, then yes. But there’s no such thing as a Jewish terrorist.”
Son Har-Melech lost her first husband, Sholi Har-Melech, in a terrorist attack in 2002. In the past she called Amiram Ben-Uliel, who was convicted of murdering the Dawabsheh family in an arson attack (but still claims his innocence), a “holy righteous man.” She insisted that the bill is “very clear and unequivocal. There’s a simple truth: a dead terrorist is a terrorist who won’t return to the cycle of terror.”
Addressing another bill she proposed, which sought to delay Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ongoing trial, she said it was introduced “during wartime.” Responding to government secretary Yossi Fuchs’ statement that Netanyahu opposes promoting the measure, she said, “As far as I’m concerned, we’re no longer in an emergency situation. The bill was tabled during the war. Its purpose is to prevent the persecution of the right-wing leadership.”
Son Har-Melech also rejected the U.S. proposal to establish an international force in Gaza, recently submitted to the UN Security Council. “I see things differently from President Trump,” she said. “We’ve often sacrificed our interests just to be part of the game. I didn’t join the celebrations when Trump came here. I’m deeply concerned that Israel is losing its sovereignty.”
Finally, a voice of reason and integrity!
The issue is that the Supreme Court will sentence yidden too and they don’t have any halchic right to do so
