Analysis: "The prisoner who could unite Palestinians"
Last week, "Ben Gvir called for Marwan Barghouti to be executed once the death penalty bill passes into law."
Of the thousands of Israel's prisoners, Barghouti has near mythical status among Palestinians.
Imprisoned since 2002 & prevented from speaking to the media, Barghouti has suffered repeated abuse & long stretches of solitary confinement.

Maricopa County prosecutors have frequently pursued the death penalty, but just 13% of cases ended in a death sentence, ProPublica and ABC15 Arizona found this year. Experts say the numbers raise questions about the office’s decision-making.

Today in Labor History November 19, 1915: Joe Hill, IWW organizer and song writer was executed by a Utah firing squad after being convicted of murder on trumped-up charges. His final message from prison was “Don’t mourn, Organize!” His ashes were supposedly sprinkled in every state of the union, except Utah, because he had said, "I don't want to be found dead in Utah." They were also sprinkled in Canada, Sweden, Australia and Canada. Some of his most famous songs were “The Preacher and the Slave,” “The Rebel Girl,” “There is Power in a Union,” “Casey Jones, the Union Scab,” and “Mr. Block.” In 1988, an envelope containing his remaining ashes was discovered. Abbie Hoffman suggested that folksinger Billy Bragg should consume them and he supposedly did, washed down, of course, with copious union beer.

Of course.
Death penalty is perfectly legal in the US of A.
To the Fullest extent of the law!
@randahl
btw, Trump resumed the federal death penatly after a 17 years moratorium, just before leaving office in 2020, killing 13 people.
Biden put a moratorium on federal death penalty. He didn't allow anyone to be legally killed under him.
And then one of the first thing Trump did in 2025 was lifting Biden's moratorium.
USA is not Europe, and I think we must respect US culture!

#Trump has been forthright about his intention to bring about a #DeathPenalty renaissance, & now his efforts are coming to fruition. This yr has been a particularly lethal one for the #US’ #DeathRow prisoners. Together, #Alabama, #Arizona, #Florida, #Indiana, #Louisiana, #Mississippi, #Missouri, #Oklahoma, #SouthCarolina, #Tennessee, & #Texas have executed a total of 40 people in the past 10 months by injection, nitrogen hypoxia, & firing squad, surpassing 2024’s total of 25—a significant spike…
