Israel’s new crime law punishes Jews and Palestinians differently

Israel’s parliament recently passed the “sexual terrorism“ law, causing widespread criticism for its potential to discriminate against Palestinian citizens. The law allows for Jewish Israelis who sexually assault or harass Jewish women to receive lesser punishments compared to their Palestinian counterparts if there was a “nationalistic motive”. Critics argue that it exploits victims of sexual violence and exacerbates existing inequalities. #Israel #Palestine #News Subscribe to our channel: Middle East Eye Website: Follow us on TikTok: @middleeasteye Follow us on Instagram: Like us on Facebook: Follow us on Twitter:
