ISRAEL:

Death penalty for terrorists who kill Jews


Sir, - One of the main problems in the prisoner release in exchange for
our kidnapped soldiers is that we have Samir Kuntar and many other
terrorists with Jewish blood on their hands in our jails. We need to
introduce the death penalty for these types of terrorists, thus removing
one of the Arabs' main blackmail tactics. After all, the US still
maintains the death penalty for murderers in most states. Until we show
more gumption, this terrible state of affairs will continue ("Government
teams formed to forge future 'kidnapping policy,'" June 22).
