Submission statement - The Israeli government has put into effect a law requiring Palestinians convicted killing in order to "negate the existence of the State of Israel or the authority of the military commander in the area" be executed within 3 months without the opportunity of commute or appeal.

The law specifically only applies to Palestinians in occupied territories who are prosecuted only in military courts in which Palestinians have few legal rights; they may be detained indefinitely without charge and may have their right to legal counsel waived by the court.

Conviction rates are 99.75%.

I know this might be an unpopular subject, given the government's poor approval rating and what many people see as a lack of vision or principles, but I want to go against the grain and say that I like Labour under Starmer and think he's the mature choice, and the media is unfair to him.

This topic hasn't really come up much, so Im sure everyone will share some unique and insightful opinions on the matter.
