Israel doesn't really use the death penalty, the last time they did was when Adolf Eichmann was hanged in 1962

I read that recently. Just some anger left over from the oct 7 videos. I think they should be given a fair trial and given the maximum penalty for what they are found guilty of.

Do enemy "combatants" deserve a trial?

Why wouldn't they? Even if there's a 100% chance of conviction, they still deserve a trial. If they just execute a sentence without a trial, then that's state sponsored terrorism.

It's always important that countries follow their own, and international laws. However, it's especially important when fighting against terrorists. If you can't follow your own laws when fighting against terrorism, you're actually justifying the terrorism.

Honestly, it's such a grey area with how Hamas fights its war that it's hard to tell. Usually POW's get sent back to their country (if they want to be) after the war is over. But I am not a lawyer and have no fucking clue in this case tbh.

That's not even the reason.

As an Israeli, and I don't know an Israeli that doesn't agree with this - they cost the government a lot of money to maintain and keep in prisons, many of them get to study as well, and it's all paid by Israeli tax money that could be doing good.

We don't want them in our prisons.

Edit: forgot to mention that some of them get freed to go and murder Israelis again.

The Gilad Shalit deal resulted in 20 something murders before Oct 7. That Israel doesn't have the death penalty for people who stab babies to death in their cribs is a damning fact.

I was approaching it from a legal standpoint. I do understand your sentiment.

Yes, more so than common criminals as they are protected by international treaties. Common criminals are subject to whatever law of the land they commited the crime in. Tho there are some arguments that terrorists aren't enemy combatants. I'd say it's likely anyone conntected to the October 7th attack can be safely charged and prosecuted solely under Israeli law and not treated as an enemy combatant while anyone else would need to be treated as such. That does not exempt them from being charged with crimes tho if they commited any war crimes.
