FUTURE OF JEWISH
When Terrorism Becomes Fashion

…The moral glamor of terrorism among certain classes — especially the privileged classes — may not be new, but it has gained immense momentum over the past 25 years. It began, perhaps, on 9/11, when millions of anti-American and antisemitic radicals the world over thrilled to the mass slaughter of thousands and the decimation of a symbol of the demonic capitalism and “imperialism” they so despised. Silently, Osama bin Laden became a hero to many and, if not that, at the very least a figure of sympathy and admiration: a bold warrior against the American/Israeli empire.

COMMENTARY Seth Mandel: The Real Reason Behind Israel’s Death-Penalty Bill Yesterday, Israel’s Knesset passed a landmark law that will nonetheless never see the light of day. In that case, the motivation for the bill is arguably more important than its content. The bill widens the application of the death penalty to include murders carried out to “negate the existence of the State of Israel.” Israel technically still has capital punishment on the books, but never invokes it, making it something of a dead letter. Nazi mastermind Adolf Eichmann was the last to be executed by the Israeli justice system—and that was in 1962 (and widely understood to be an exceptional case, for a million obvious reasons). There has long been advocacy for a death penalty for terrorists in Israel, but it has never passed. Now it has—and it will soon be discarded by Israel’s high court.
