Supporters of the proposed death penalty bill for terrorists in Israel argue that executions would prevent future attacks and hostage exchanges. However, critics warn that such legislation would not deter terrorism and could instead inspire more attacks by turning perpetrators into celebrated martyrs. The bill is seen as a grave miscalculation that risks damaging Israel's moral standing and fueling antisemitic sentiment worldwide. Opponents urge lawmakers to reject the death penalty, highlighting its violation of human rights, potential for wrongful executions, and incompatibility with Jewish values.
