Israel passes death penalty law; critics point to discrimination
Tamara Ceaikovski
March 30 (UPI) -- Israel's parliament on Monday passed legislation legalizing the death penalty as a punishment for Palestinians convicted of terror attacks. Critics of the law said the bill was worded in such a way that it would be used disproportionately against Palestinians. Palestinians convicted under the law would have no path for appeals or clemency, while those in Israel would be able to have their sentences commuted, The Guardian reported. Executions would be carried out within 90 days
