Signs in Jerusalem: Death penalty now
Activists from Im Tirtzu hang signs across
Jerusalem calling for the death penalty for terrorists in wake of murder of Ori
Ansbacher.
Hezki Baruch, 11/02/19 04:04
Activists
from the Im Tirtzu movement on Sunday hung huge signs across Jerusalem with the
portrait of 19-year-old Ori Ansbacher, who was murdered by a terrorist from
Hevron near Jerusalem last Thursday.
The signs
were accompanied by a Hebrew and Arabic script demanding the death penalty for
terrorists, as well as figures hanging on a string illustrating the death
penalty.
The signs
were hung on the walls of the Old City near the Jaffa Gate and the Damascus
Gate, on the Chords Bridge, on the Malcha Bridge as well as in Ein Yael, near
the site of Ori's murder.
The Im Tirtzu
movement was active in the last Knesset in order to promote a "deterrent
package" against the terrorists.
Among other
things, a preliminary reading of an amendment to the existing death penalty for
terrorists was approved, which seeks to change the composition of judges who
rule on the death penalty for terrorists from an absolute majority to a normal
majority.

Matan Peleg,
Chief Executive Officer of the Im Tirtzu movement, said that "the time has come to continue to advance the deterrent
package against the terror that is raging throughout Israel. Ori’s blood cries
out from the ground. Without a strong deterrent package against terror, the
potential terrorist has no reason to abandon his decision to go out and murder.
Without expelling the families of terrorists, demolishing their homes to the
ground, offsetting salaries and the death penalty for despicable terrorists who
murdered innocent girls and whole families, we will not succeed in stopping
terrorism."

Israeli
officials call for death penalty for murderer of teen Ori Ansbacher
February 11, 2019 by JNS
February 11, 2019 by JNS
Justice Minister Ayalet Shaked and
former Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman are among the high-level Israeli
officials calling on Israel to execute Arafat Irfayia, the Arab man believed to
have murdered 19-year-old Tekoa resident Ori Ansbacher in a what has been
described as a grizzly and gruesome slaying.
Ansbacher, who was serving in National
Service in Jerusalem until she was reported missing, was discovered unconscious
and unresponsive with multiple stab wounds in her chest in the forest of Ein
Yael on the outskirt of Jerusalem on Thursday.
Additional details have been censored,
but authorities said the attack was exceptionally gruesome.
Irfayia, who was found near Ramallah on
Friday morning and arrested, is from the Abu Sneina neighbourhood of Hebron.
Local Jewish residents called for a protest outside his family home, which was
mapped and prepared by the Israel Defense Forces for demolition, in accordance
with Israeli policy pertaining to the perpetrators of murder against Jews.
On Saturday, Shaked told Channel 13 news
that “the military prosecution needs to ask for the
death penalty, and that Irfayia, who had previously served time for possessing
a knife while in Israel illegally, “killed Ori because she was a Jewish girl.”
Avigdor Liberman took to Twitter,
declaring: “It is inconceivable that a 19-year-old girl
is murdered on nationalistic motives and her vile killer will live for many
years in the luxurious conditions of Israeli prison. We must change this
reality; we need a death-penalty law for terrorists!”
Ansbacher is the first terrorist victim
of 2019.
Lieberman attempted to pass
death-penalty legislation before abandoning the coalition, but did not make
sufficient headway. Shaked did not provide significant backing for the law,
stating that one already exists. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has
expressed his support for using the death penalty in the past.
National Union Party chairman Betzalel
Smotrich praised security forces for the arrest on Twitter, and said that the
Justice department should be responsible for “speedy justice and the death
penalty for the terrorist, the immediate destruction of his house and the
expulsion of his whole family to Gaza.”
The only time Israel has utilized the
death penalty was on Nazi officer Adolf Eichmann, one of the architects of the
Holocaust. He was hanged in Jerusalem in 1962 and then cremated.
Use of the death penalty can only be
made in specific circumstances and requires a unanimous decision from a panel
of three judges.
“The terrorists are no longer
afraid,” Bennett
said in a statement. “At this moment, [they] are
preparing the next terrible murder of Jews,” he said, urging the
government to implement legislation that would subtract the amount of money
paid to the families of convicted terrorists from the amount of taxes Israel
collects for the Palestinian Authority.

“The Wicked Must be Put to Death”
Monday, February 11, 2019 | David Lazarus
The brutal
slaying of a teenaged girl, Ori Ansbacher, has stirred government officials and
Israelis across the nation to call for the death penalty for the 29-year-old
Palestinian who murdered her in cold blood.
Unlike most
modern democracies that reject the death penalty, in Israel there are two
specific crimes that are punishable by death: crimes against the Jewish people
and humanity (the law for the punishment of Nazis and their accomplices), and
murder in the context of a terrorist act (under the emergency regulations act).
According to
Israeli law, the death penalty requires a unanimous vote by the Supreme Court.
The caution
against rashly implementing the death penalty in Israel is based in large part
on Jewish tradition, in which, despite the existence of this punishment, it is
almost never invoked. As it is written: The Sanhedrin that kills one person
every seven years is considered damaging.In other words,Jewish law requires
moderation in dealing with murder cases.
In scripture,
God provided Israel with a detailed toolbox for determining the crime and
punishment in murder cases (see for example Numbers 35). As the Children of
Israel were about to enter the Land, knowing that setting up a nation would
require dealing with the complexities of human sin, cities of refuge were
established to which a murderer could flee until the case was properly judged.
A major
breakthrough in the laws that governed ancient civilization came with the
biblical allowance for Israel to discuss a person’s intent in crime, not only
the results of his or her action. The Bible makes a distinction between
malicious and accidental murder. The concept is found first in Leviticus 4,
where the person who acted without intent is given an opportunity to pay for
the murder, but not with his life. Today, we distinguish between manslaughter
and murder, wrongdoing and malice. Incredibly, the Bible had recognized all
these scenarios a long time ago.
The basis of
the Bible’s approach to these laws is to protect the sanctity of life, while also
taking into consideration the weaknesses and complexities of humanity. Yet,the
biblical guidelines would not be considered “humane” by modern
politically-correct standards. In the Book of Numbers, chapter 35, we have the
clearest standards for judging murder. The chapter concludes with a strong
warning not to go easy on the “wicked criminal.” There is a severe prohibition
against any kind of plea deal, payment or political considerations to ease the
punishment of a convicted murderer. The murderer "which is wicked must be
put to death.” However, it is also commanded that the murderer will be
executed, not killed for revenge.
All of the
scriptural regulations were given to protect the “sanctity of the land,”to
maintain personal security for the individual and the public, and to prevent
further bloodshed. What will happen to a society whose leaders renounce their
responsibility to protect the sanctity of life when there is “wickedness in the
land”? Perhaps it is the chaos, mayhem and anger we see on the streets of
Israel, and around the world. God help us in these troubling times.
