A bit harsh maybe by modern western standards, but happy to be corrected if you can cite a genuinely ridiculous case such as a 14 year old hanged for touching up or snogging a 14 year old girl or something similar (which is what your post suggested happened).
And let's not forget that by a statute of Henry VIII, sodomy (including oral sex!) was a capital offence in the UK and US until the 1860s

Meanwhile Bibi is in Moscow admiring Vlad's muscles...

Moscow (CNN)The May 9 Victory Day parade is a major public ritual in Russia. It's a showcase of military might that marks the defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945. This year's event, however, is about more than just historic commemoration.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to view the parade on Wednesday. His high-profile visit to Moscow comes amid fallout from the US' decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal.
Russia and Israel have complex ties. Russian President Vladimir Putin is a military ally of Iran, Israel's sworn enemy. And at Wednesday's parade, Netanyahu will be watching some of the hardware that Tehran seeks to boost its own arsenal.
The Kremlin wants to keep the Iran deal intact; Netanyahu is a vocal critic who says Iran has lied about its nuclear program.
Yet Netanyahu has a strong working relationship with Putin, and the two leaders have kept open lines of communication amid the escalating confrontation between Israel and Iran."Is someone you don't like allowed to say something you don't like?

I somehow don't think that we, by that I mean the Western world, can morally attack Iran for funding terrorism when throughout recent history, Western governments have funded and supported what could reasonably be called terrorist groups as long as it furthers their ideals.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Recent events have shown the scale of the breakdown of trust and support for our governments and media, and no amount of labeling dissenting voices as [worst person ever] and no-platforming will stop it."Is someone you don't like allowed to say something you don't like?
