A Jerusalem Post column, “Legal Affairs by Steve Adler” features an article, “Putting the October 7 Culprits on Trial.”  Adler who is a retired judge of the Labor Court in Israel proposes that the “monstrous acts of sadistic murder, torture, sexual violence, rape, kidnapping and other horrors that go beyond what we typically associate with terrorism or war crimes” that were committed by Hamas in the Israeli settlements in southern Israel on October 7 deserve a “special court.” “A special law and court would underscore the uniqueness of the crimes committed.”

Adler reviews the history of the Nuremberg Trials following World War II, the Frankfurt Auschwitz Trials, Israel’s  Eichmann Trial, the Iraqi Special Tribunal and the Tokyo War Crimes Trial, and argues that these all provide justification for the special court he is proposing for the brutal Hamas murders of Israelis.
