Can a Zionist please explain how Israel having a death penalty law just for Palestinians is good, normal, and defendable. How do we look at Israel & argue it’s not modern day Nazi Germany. A legit apartheid state doing a genocide.

The U.S. is known for having a really bad prison system that incentivizes locking up people & keeping them locked up to use as slave labor. It’s easy to get locked up but hard to be freed even if new evidence that contradicts the conviction is later found. We have 20% of the world’s prison population despite being only 5% of the world population.

First of all an insanely high conviction rating isn’t good anywhere. Second of all Israel has two set of laws one for Palestinians & Jews & is an apartheid. Again a group of Israeli Jews were caught on tape doing rape to a Palestinian& released yet a Palestinian kid throwing a rock at a tank is deemed a terrorist & locked up.
