Poll Shows ’Israelis’ Support Immediate Execution for Palestinian Stabbers

Local Editor

Over 50 percent of "Israelis" think that Palestinians suspected of carrying out operations "should be killed on the spot," said a new think-tank poll. The hardening stance comes as 6 more "Israelis" were injured and 2 Palestinians martyred over the weekend.

New shocking data revealed that a majority of "Israelis" [53%] ... said they agreed that any Palestinian who commits an operation against settlers should be "killed on the Spot" an "Israeli" institute stated.

The extrajudicial killings were supported even after the suspects had been arrested and "no longer pose a threat," the think-and-do tank said on its website.

The poll involved 600 adults and was carried out over two days in October.

Moreover, 80 percent of the "Israeli" respondents also stated that they would like to see the family homes of those Palestinian carrying out the operations demolished.

The survey reflects a toughening "Israeli" attitude amid increased "Israeli"-Palestinian tensions throughout the "Israeli" annexed Palestinian territories.

Despite rapid responses by "Israeli" police, Sunday proved to be a bloody end to the weekend, as six "Israelis" were injured and two Palestinian were killed in several confrontations throughout the day.

In a new wave of heroic operations, a Palestinian woman was shot by "Israeli" forces after accusing her of attempting a stabbing operation.

She eventually died from her injuries, media reports said. The incident was captured on video that was later released by "Israeli" authorities.

Four more people were injured at a bus stop near the "Israeli" settlement of Tapuach in the occupied West Bank when a Palestinian man crashed his car into it.

Later in the day, another "Israeli" settler was stabbed in the stomach by two Palestinians in the village of Nabi Ilyas. "Israel's" war ministry said the victim survived after receiving help at a nearby checkpoint.

"Israeli" politicians had been encouraging security forces to take on a tougher approach to Palestinians, with some urging them to shoot suspects on the spot.

One Israeli legislator from the center-right Yesh Atid party, Yair Lapid, told "Israeli" soldiers in October that Palestinians who threaten "Israeli" troops or civilians "should be shot to be killed. Another "Israeli" governor urged settlers to carry their firearms with them.

The latest operation came as "Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was scheduled to have a meeting with US President Barack Obama in Washington on Monday, their first in over a year.

It has become a flashpoint in the conflict, with Palestinians fearing they will be deprived of their rights at al-Aqsa. Under current arrangements, "Israelis" are allowed to visit the site but non-Muslim prayer is banned.

In October, the "Israeli" apartheid regime reintroduced a ban barring Muslim worshipers under 50 from entering the mosque for Friday prayers. The move was announced by "Israeli" police as part of broader measures focused on tightening security in the Old City.
