  2. A quotation from Thomas More

    Well, those are my objections on moral grounds. From a practical point of view, surely it’s obvious that to punish thieves and murderers in precisely the same way is not only absurd but also highly dangerous for the public.
       If a thief knows that a conviction for murder will get him into no more trouble than a conviction for theft, he’s naturally impelled to kill the person that he’d otherwise merely have robbed. It’s no worse for him if he’s caught, and it gives him a better chance of not being caught, and of concealing the crime altogether by eliminating the only witness.
       So in our efforts to terrorize thieves we’re actually encouraging them to murder innocent people.
     
       [Non licere putem. Quam uero sit absurdum, atque etiam perniciosum reipublicae furem, atque homicidam ex aequo puniri, nemo est, opinor, qui nesciat.
       Nempe quum latro conspiciat non minus imminere discriminis duntaxat furti damnato, quam si praeterea conuincatur homicidij, hac una cogitatione impellitur in caedem eius, quem alioqui fuerat tantum spoliaturus. quippe praeterquam quod deprehenso nihil sit plus periculi, est etiam in caede securitas maior, & maior caelandi spes sublato facinoris indice.
       Itaque dum fures nimis atrociter studemus perterrefacere, in bonorum incitamus perniciem.]

    [Quote from Terry #Pratchett]

    The #Knesset, Israel’s #Parliament, voted to impose #death sentence (by #hanging) on #Palestinian #prisoners

    - It is State #Execution based on #ethnicity. Students of history will realise that the world has been here before – in the #Germany of the 1930s and 40s

    Israel runs an #Apartheid system

    When most people think of Apartheid ...
