## Resource

In this powerful interview, Avi Abelow speaks with Maurice Hirsch, a retired IDF Lieutenant Colonel and one of Israel’s top experts on Palestinian Authority lawfare, terrorist financing, and pay-for-slay policies.Maurice Hirsch served 19 years in the IDF Military Advocate General’s Corps, eventually serving as Director of the Military Prosecution for Judea and Samaria. He currently heads the Initiative for Palestinian Authority Accountability and Reform at the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs (JCFA).In this hard-hitting conversation, Hirsch makes a compelling case for why Israel must implement the death penalty for terrorists. He explains how Israel’s current policy of releasing terrorists has repeatedly led to more Jewish deaths, and why executing terrorists is both a moral necessity and a critical deterrent.The discussion goes deep into Palestinian Authority lawfare, the “pay for slay” terror financing system, the failures of the Israeli legal establishment, and the urgent reforms needed to win the war against jihadi terror.With decades of insider experience, Maurice Hirsch exposes how the Palestinian Authority continues to glorify and fund terrorism while using international law as a weapon against the Jewish state. He offers clear, no-nonsense solutions for restoring Israeli deterrence and moral clarity.Essential viewing for anyone interested in Israel death penalty for terrorists, Palestinian Authority supported terrorism, Israeli security policy, IDF legal system, and the future of the war against Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Palestinian Authority.Watch now and share this important interview.Am Yisrael Chai!!!Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMv Follow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelow Join our Telegram Ch…
