Good. Pity Israel only has the death penalty for genocide.

Doesn't trying to kill mass numbers of Jews count for genocide anymore?

Apparently not - the last person to receive the death penalty in Israel was Adolf Eichmann, in 1960. I personally would favor some modifications to Israeli law. (Mind you, I also think hijackers and terrorists should be summarily hung as pirates.)
