Prosor characterized Castellucci’s remarks as ‘arrogant lectures’ during a time when Israelis face threats from states seeking their destruction, referencing the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023. The Israeli Knesset recently approved a law permitting the death penalty for Palestinians who kill Israelis for terrorist motives, while exempting Israelis who kill Palestinians. Castellucci criticized the law as discriminatory and indicative of Israel’s departure from shared moral values, expressing hope that courts would intervene to halt the legislation.
