I just saw in the news that they’re considering the death sentence for the spies who gave over info to Iran
Maybe it’s just me but I feel like it’s a little too harsh, no? I mean a lifetime in prison I understand but to kill them?!

That had no problem with Iran killing all Israeli people. Let them die!

My only question is why they don't give a death sentence to every terrorist. Instead they put them in prison only to be exchanged for hostages.

IMHO, a death sentence is less harsh then rotting in prison for the rest of their lives.

Those prisons isn't that much rotting. They'll get fed, get medical care, can even get a degree while there.
I don't understand how Jews could do it. Azeri Jews are traditional, not assimilated, probably not liberal.
How??

They are not Jewish and They need to be harsh to deter others

The US has not fought a war on its own land for almost 200 years. I don't think you understand just how serious the charge "spying for the enemy during war time" is.

How do you know they aren't Jewish? I thought they came to Israel on the "right of return".

Even if they are Jewish, even if they are "frum", anyone who spies for Iran during a time of war is a rodef who should be put to death.

The appropriate penalty for treason is death. And that goes double for treason that endangers innocent lives.

We are told to kill someone who is approaching to kill us, and in my mind, at this time, this is the same thing. The info they were giving was meant to be used to harm us.

Endangering our people and our soldiers on behalf of Amalak should be put to death publicly and their families should pay a heavy price would be an excellent deterrent for others considering the same crimes absolutely disgusting!

The Law of Return, sadly, does not coincide eith halachicly Jewish.

I think UAE is considering death penalty for those recent terrorists. I wish Israel would take a lesson!
