Lemur Son Har-Milkh, a Knesset member from Otzma Yehudit, proposed a rule against Palestinian resistance fighters that reads, "Anyone is racially motivated to kill an Israeli intentionally or carelessly would receive the death penalty."

Put aside the legal difficulties that the legal consultant emphasized, and disregard the concern for Israel's standing in the world. Assuming that the death penalty that awaits the person who decided to kill an Israeli will prevent him will be so foolish. This person knew he might die while carrying out the Fedayeen operation.

For the death penalty to be upheld in court, three requirements must be justified. These three elements are the intention (nonchalance), racial motivation, and the target (compromising the security of Israel). Absurdity increases when it is said that killing the settlers helped expand the outpost; many of the killed settlers got a settlement outpost or a neighborhood named after them.

The settlers have lamented for years that their blood is wasted and that there is a different between the blood of a settler and the blood of an Israeli who resides within the state's borders. This disparity will be made legal and sacrosanct by the proposed law, which is a key component in the consolidation of the death penalty. A settler's blood will be as blue as an Israeli's.
