Itamar Ben Gvir, Israel’s far-right national security minister, has called for the execution of Palestinian prisoners to ease overcrowding in the country’s jails.
Writing on social media, he welcomed a decision by the Israeli army to build 936 additional prison places for “security prisoners”. “The additional construction will allow the prison service to take in more terrorists, and will bring a partial solution to the prison crisis that exists in the Shabak,” he said, referring to the Israeli Prison Service.
“The death penalty for terrorists is the right solution to the incarceration problem, until then - glad that the government approved the proposal I brought.”
During a visit by members of the Public Defender’s Office, squalid conditions were noted, including “intolerable overcrowding”, with less than three square metres of space per person, poor sanitary conditions, pest issues, inadequate ventilation, and a lack of basic necessities for the incarcerated.
I wonder if they will concentrate all of the prisoners in one spot before they implement Ben’s solution
With so many prisoners it’s gotta be hard to process all of those death penalties. I wonder if there is a fast and efficient way to apply the death penalty. Maybe they can do it in groups
They could look into repurposing farming equipment and supplies given all the shortages they’re experiencing
Everyone knows that gases are the most convenient option, too. None of the logistical issues of solids and none of the messiness of liquids.

He just wants a bit more Living Space.
בית גידול?
When the Nazis were invading Eastern Europe prior to WWII they told the other European powers they only needed “lebensraum”-“living space.” This comment thread is pointing out the similarities between the actions of contemporary Israel against Palestinians with the actions of Nazi Germany against Jews and other groups they considered “undesirable.”
I know very well what it is. I just wrote the same thing in Hebrew. Why translate Lebensraum to Living Space instead of בית גידול?
I can’t read Hebrew and it got translated to “habitat.” I assumed the question mark indicated a genuine request for clarity.
Me neither. One translator gave me that word.
Another gives me גידו.
Just want to add that I’m a native German speaker as well.
hallo, wie ghets
Hallo! Gar nicht schlecht. Und dir?
Most people here don’t speak Hebrew or German.
They will if they’re from his camp
