Israeli right-wing activist Baruch Marzel called for the execution of all Palestinians who are shot and injured during alleged anti-occupation attacks instead of providing them with medical treatment.
In an interview with Arutz Sheva Marzel a rabbi said “I’ve noticed that the State of Israel has been deteriorating since the Elor Azariya affair. Terrorists are not killed and soldiers do not finish the job and do not make sure that the terrorist is dead. The terrorist is evacuated by MDA to our hospitals and receives treatment for hundreds of thousands of shekels alongside the wounded Jew.”
“The time has come for the Israeli government to stop humiliating its victims and the people of Israel. The terrorist must not be treated. A terrorist must die as soon as he comes to harm Jews” he continued.
“Have we gone crazy? To give treatment to a terrorist instead of killing him – that’s our morality? ‘He who comes to kill you pamper him first.”
The Israeli soldier Elor Azariya who shot and killed a wounded Palestinian who was incapacitated having already been shot has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for manslaughter.
The March 24 shooting in the occupied West Bank city of al-Khalil was filmed by activists from the Israeli B’Tselem human rights group.
That video shows the young Palestinian lying on the ground while bleeding.
Azariya then delivers the fatal blow shooting him again in the head without any provocation.
