Preview of what y'all have to look forward to in the US I guess.

We're all waiting on the midterms to see if the US can reign in the Trump regime. It will be the last point of no return.

The last non-violent point of no return*

The death penalty in the U.S. never went away federally. They are rare though, only 16 in my life. 13 were performed in the last 6 months of Trump's first term.

For the most part executions are carried out by the states, and it's usually in the south. (Texas and Oklahoma like to stand out there, though Desantis wants Florida to be a contender)

Seems like a waste of taxes considering they just shoot them in the streets without a 2nd thought.

I guess they're realizing how globally unpopular Zionist crimes are.

When the iron dome cracked the internet practically cheered.

I guess they thought that building mass graves and executing them would be a bit too on the nose.

It's not a crime if it's the law

Israel runs the USA not the ICC. It's still a crime even if the world police (USA) are too busy shoving menorah up their asses.

Bet these "lethal attacks" include fighting back when some Israeli is trying to murder you and your family...

Still waiting sanctions on the state itself of Israel from the hypocritical west

You can have a 99% conviction rate, as a treat

Death penalties carried out using gas maybe in large 'shower' rooms?

Further entrenching the apartheid unequal enforcement of their laws not even just by action but in the text itself.
