Netanyahu green lights the death penalty for convicted terrorists

It's about time--Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday green-lighted legislation for courts to make it easier to impose the death penalty on convicted terrorists. He announced the decision at a coalition meeting, according to Kan Bet.

Naftali Bennett, leader of the Jewish Home Party who also serves as minister of education, pushed the prime minister to advance the bill. Evidently, he wants to give terrorists a different kind of education that will last a lifetime.

The death penalty bill for terrorists, [aka: "The Martyr's Fast-Track Bill"] passed a preliminary vote in January. It's the flagship legislation of the Yisrael Beytenu Party led by Defense Minister Abigdor [aka: "A Very Big Door"] Liberman. He blamed Bennett and Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked also of the Jewish home Party, of delaying the legislation.

But now Bennett reportedly told Bibi during his conversation that he was fine with the bill.

The Likud Party whip Dudi Amsalem agreed with Bennett's version of events saying the Jewish Home Party wasn't behind the delay of putting in the legislation.

The last time Israel imposed the death penalty was in 1962 in the execution of Nazi SS Officer Adolf Eichmann.

It's time to bring it back.
