But couldn't you make the same argument against seizing the assets of American gangsters? I think most people would agree that seizing the assets of gangsters is a necessary tool in the fight against organized crime.

You're a huge idiot if you think seizing the assets of criminals is anything similar to this.

His family wasn't sent to jail. They were living in the home of a convicted criminal who had his assets seized. Bad luck for them, but the state has the right to take away your things if you're going to throw slabs of marble onto its soldiers from the top of a building.

No, he wasn't. He was arrested and charged (by a military court) with murder, but has yet to face trial. I'd love to see their proof, given that the death happened in the middle of a loving riot in a refugee camp, and that none of the dead person's squadmates saw who threw the rock.

It's a military court, though, a kangaroo court run by Army officers with a 99% conviction rate. So even if he goes to trial, it's not a fair or legitimate one.

So punishing the entire family? Like the hanging in "The Sixth Sense?"

I personally believe RICO, asset forfeiture before conviction, is a violation of due process and the constitution.

The Fifth Amendment says to the federal government that no one shall be "deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law." The Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in 1868, uses the same eleven words, called the Due Process Clause, to describe a legal obligation of all states.

it almost always involves asset forfeiture before conviction, because you're rolling up the leadership of a criminal organization, but they're separate things

The important thing here is that the home demolitions are not based on or tied to any kind of legal action. There is no requirement that the target be convicted of a crime or even being charged with one. It's an military action, not a legal action, and is routinely used against people who have not been convicted of any crime.

Hamas doesn't do that though. They don't do war crimes or murder children at comparable rates at all.

This is hilarious. Imagine if people ascribed this much agency to a people being genocided anywhere else. Why didn't the Jews just find the Germans guilty from their concentration camps and destroy their homes? Oh yeah.

Not directly. The demolitions themselves are a military administrative action that doesn't go before any judge. The targets have a short window to appeal, and can appeal it to the High Court...which generally holds that the demolition is a military administrative action with no particular ties to the legal process, and that they'll defer to the judgement of the military.

For example:

quote:

The Hamid family asked the court to nullify the IDF’s demolition order because their son had not yet been convicted of killing Lubarsky, while arguing that demolishing the entire building would cause disproportionate harm to the other occupants who were not involved in the attack. The family also argued that the IDF only moved to demolish the entire building at the urging of the Lubarsky family.

However, Justice Yael Wilner rejected the Palestinian family’s petition, saying that Israeli military courts are not legally required to wait for a conviction before issuing demolition orders.

In the unanimous decision, Wilner acknowledged that razing the entire building would unfairly harm some residents, but said Israel’s security considerations and the need to establish deterrence against future attacks “did not justify reducing the scope of the demolition order.”

That's what Netanyahu wants. Without an existential threat his policies and mindset would be deeply unpopular.
