From Friday, April 19, 2002 Wall Street Journal:



March 12: RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) -- In a grim warning, the blood-streaked body of a Palestinian shot to death for allegedly collaborating with Israel was strung up by the ankles Tuesday in the middle of this West Bank city. Raed Naem Odeh was left dangling in a traffic circle downtown. . .



April 1: NABLUS, West Bank (AP) -- In the West Bank town of Tulkarem, gunmen from the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade entered an apartment where seven suspected collaborators were being held by military intelligence Monday, the officials said. The gunmen took the prisoners into the street and shot them, leaving their bodies behind, the security sources said. . . .



April 5: RAMALLAH, West Bank (Reuters) -- Masked Palestinian gunmen shot dead three men suspected of collaborating with Israeli forces in their West Bank village of Toubas . . . Friday, Palestinian sources said.




It's nice to see how dissenting voices and suspects are treated by those enlightened Palestinians. What is it they're fighting for? Freedom? Democracy? Prosperity? I wonder how many of these "frags" by their own people are blamed on Israel? No moral high ground only violence and contempt towards those that disagree with them... pathetic and sad that people seem to be split over what side to take in this conflict. Is it that all the reasonable Palistinians have all been killed by their own people or have been too scared to debate such a controversial topic?
