Discrimination in favor of Jews

If you're looking for an explanation, I don't know. If you're looking for moral justification, that can be found. I will preface this by saying that there is a legitimate preference for members of my close circle (my family, my people, all of humanity). I am saving my people and citizens of my country from Ukraine first. I am taking care of the health and education of my people first, and of the economy of my family members and then the people of my country/country. In this context, a distinction is made between human rights and civil rights. The prohibition against harming someone stems from a human right (it is forbidden to harm anyone), and indeed murdering a Gentile is a Torah prohibition (easier) and a moral prohibition (the same). But the death penalty for a murderer is not a fundamental human right. It is a sanction greater than the minimum required, and therefore there is no problem with it being imposed only for the murder of a Jew.
