Orthodox Jews

• • Death penalty is allowed in the Torah, some Orthodox Jews believe that it should be allowed for certain crimes. 
• • Many Rabbis and Jewish scholars said the guidance in the Torah makes it nearly impossible to issue a death sentence.(shows, where the death penalty is permitted, should only be with greatest caution.)
• • Israel allows death penalty for acts of genocide, treason and murder, but it's rare and there's wide debate about abolishing it.
• • The death penalty exists as a deterrent, not retribution.
