The Prime Minister of Spain, Sánchez, posted today (March 31) stating: "The Spanish government condemns the recent Israeli parliamentary bill that imposes death sentences on Palestinians. This measure is asymmetric, as Israelis who commit the same crimes are not subject to capital punishment. The same crime, different penalties. That is not justice—it is another step toward racial segregation. The world can no longer remain silent."
Commentary: The Israeli parliament recently passed a death penalty law targeting Palestinians, which clearly reflects racial double standards. In essence, this law enforces a double standard: for the same serious crime of murder, Palestinians may face execution while Israelis are almost never punished with death—truly a case of 'judging by the person.' The Spanish Prime Minister put it plainly: this is not fair legislation, but a move toward racial segregation. Such unjust provisions will only deepen hatred between Israelis and Palestinians, further destabilizing an already volatile situation. If the international community continues to turn a blind eye, it will be complicit in injustice and violence.
