Hamas kibbutz killers face hanging if convicted in Israel

Israel has compiled a thick dossier against the suspected killers who unleashed the Oct. 7 bloodshed

For the first time in more than 60 years, Israeli prosecutors say they are poised to hang Hamas terrorists who raped and slaughtered residents of a kibbutz.

The last time the country executed anyone was when Nazi henchman Adolf Eichmann was hanged on June 2, 1962.

According to the U.K. Sun, Israeli intelligence agents have uncovered a mountain of evidence since the Hamas death cult unleashed the latest Mideast war on Oct. 7, 2023.

The newspaper reported that Israel has compiled a thick dossier against the suspected killers who unleashed the bloodshed after the surprise attack. Using evidence recovered from laptops during operations in Gaza, analysts have pinpointed who was responsible.

Sources said that at least 22 suspected Hamas terrorists will be charged and face the rope.

The monsters were all members of a group who attacked the kibbutz Nir Oz. The kibbutz less than 2 km from the Gaza border was the scene of some of the most heartless violence that day.

On Oct. 7, 2023, an onslaught unfolded from three directions, with Hamas killers laying waste to everything in their path.

Homes were torched with terrified families inside.

When their bloodlust was sated, the killers dragged hostages — including Shiri Bibas and her sons Ariel and Kfir and Oded Lifshitz — back to long captivity and death in Gaza.

Israel has long been reluctant to use the death penalty, but because of the sinister nature of the crimes, there is a desire to see those responsible executed. If convicted, the guilty parties will hang.

The world’s only Jewish state is no longer concerned about international pressure in such cases.

“About 30 years ago, I was the prosecutor on the trial of a particularly nasty and cruel terrorist, and I managed to get him convicted with the death penalty,” former Israeli ambassador to Canada and onetime military prosecutor Alan Baker said.

“It wasn’t carried out at the time, because of a theory that it could encourage terrorists to do more horrific acts, if they feel like they are going to die anyway. There is, of course, also always the concern of what the international community thinks, too.”

Baker added: “In these particular cases, because of the cruel nature of these atrocities, I don’t think the sensitivity of what the world will think will be considered, as there is now the feeling that the rest of the world inevitably hate us whatever we do.

“We are still as hated as we were 80 years ago.

“These people not only crossed the border illegally, but there are thousands of residents of Gaza who tagged along, who stole whatever they liked, televisions, etc. and set fire to houses.”

Baker said that “crimes against humanity will have to be dealt with seriously.”

Since the crimes were committed in Israel, the killers must face Israeli law in front of Israeli judges.

Baker said: “I would tell them not to take into consideration what the Pope, the French government, the British etc, will say, because inevitably, whatever we do, whether we keep them in prison or we hang them, Israel will be condemned anyway.”

In addition to the 22 with targets on their back, Israel is holding at least 300 other terrorists who took part in the sickening attacks.

One Israeli legal expert said that because the attacks were the most horrific acts against Jews since the Holocaust, the death penalty is the likely outcome for the guilty.

Fifteen years had passed since Medina's conviction for the murder of 52-year-old Dorothy James, and McAndrew's responsibility was to oversee the administration of lethal electrical currents to his brain. Having already supervised two previous executions using the identical procedure and raised in a community that strongly supported capital punishment, he expected a swift conclusion with justice delivered.

North Korea | 'I was only 9': North Korean defector recalls childhood memory of public execution

Kim Eun-joo was 9 years old when her teacher stopped their lesson and told the class to follow her outside. The children were marched to a public execution ground in North Korea. “I would cry even when our family dog died,” Kim said in a recent interview with The Korea Times. “But the first time I watched humans killing a human, I had no words for what I was feeling. It was the most brutal scene I have ever seen, in any movie or in real life.” The memory has stayed with her ever since. Now a human rights advocate after defecting from North Korea, Kim recently brought that childhood scene to the 9th World Congress Against the Death Penalty in Paris, where North Korea’s use of public executions and capital punishment was officially placed on the agenda for the first time.
