Three More Signs Israel Is Falling Apart
*Knesset Legislator Toma-Suleiman stood at the podium in the Knesset today and declared that “East Jerusalem will become the capital of Palestine, that Palestinian flags will fly over the city, and that a street will be named for Sheerin Abu Akala” (the Al-Jazeera reporter who was killed in Jenin).
*”Defense” Minister Benny Gantz canceled all IDF training in the Israeli-Arab city of Umm Al-Fahm. Gantz said that such training “would hurt the feelings of residents in the city.”
*Knesset member Itamar Ben Gvir proposed a bill today that would impose the death penalty on any terrorist who murders an Israeli, and that any terrorist who receives a death penalty can not have his or her sentence shortened. In proposing the law, Ben Gvir noted that it has no chance of passing in the current Knesset because of opposition from the Bennnett-Lapid-Gantz led Coalition.
