Israel's National Security Minister Itamar #BenGvir and members of his far-right #OtzmaYehudit Party attended #Knesset hearings on the Death Penalty Bill on Monday. Each of the three was wearing a badge shaped like a hangman's noose.
The bill is overtly #racist and colonist.
Apart from being dangerously vague, it excludes the #Israeli settlers who terrorise the #Palestinian people of the #WestBank.

A close-up portrait of a person seated at a desk, likely indoors. The person has short, gray hair and is wearing a light gray suit jacket over a white collared shirt. A black microphone is positioned directly in front of the person's mouth. Two small pins are visible on the suit jacket's lapel, and the person is looking downwards with a serious expression. The background appears to be a dark, blurred interior space, possibly a conference room or meeting hall.
Text in the image reads: "Knesset National Security Committee Chair MK Zvika Fogel at the Knesset on Monday" and "Photo: Naama Grynbaum".
