Comments on: Australian Jewish leaders stand with Israel but question death penalty law https://www.jwire.com.au/australian-jewish-leaders-stand-with-israel-but-question-death-penalty-law/ Australia, NZ and worldwide Jewish news that matters Wed, 01 Apr 2026 09:42:02 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Liat Joy Kirby https://www.jwire.com.au/australian-jewish-leaders-stand-with-israel-but-question-death-penalty-law/#comment-643375 Wed, 01 Apr 2026 09:42:02 +0000 https://www.jwire.com.au/?p=179394#comment-643375 This is most unfortunate. I understand that an extra two votes got it over the line. Given the fact it’s aimed solely at Palestinian terrorist acts that kill, I wonder, legally, how that would pan out if a radical Jewish person committed the same act? We have to be most careful with this. It’s horrible to see the look of glee on the faces of Smotrich and Ben-Gvir (the latter in an earlier photo). The sooner this present government goes the better.

One only has to look at the Aust. Zionist leadership lack of condemnation of the out of control of the settlers on the west bank .Now the Kahanist ministers death penalty

when the leadership gets some back bone and Jewish ethics to match what the Kids have been taught at school and home .Will they return to the fold
