Palestinian gunmen execute 'collaborator' in Ramallah street

RAMALLAH, West Bank (AFP) - Three masked gunmen executed a fellow Palestinian in the centre of the West Bank city of Ramallah after accusing him of being a collaborator, witnesses and security sources said.

The three said they were from the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, an armed offshoot of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat (news - web sites)'s Fatah (news - web sites) movement, witnesses said.

"The guy had a mask on and had his hands tied behind his back," one witness told AFP.

"Before they shot him, they took off his mask. They then said he was a collaborator and we sentence him to death."


The trio pumped around 10 bullets into the victim's back before fleeing shortly after 4:30pm (1330 GMT), witnesses said. The gunmen were armed with kalashnikovs, they added.

ah...that excellent palestinian judicial system at work again.

yep...they seem ready to govern themselves.

Al-Aqsa MURDERS Brigades...DOING WHAT THEY DO BEST.

4. collaborator deaths in Iraq are not reported - PA has a free press
but I suspect that will end under Bush as the region becomes Iran times 5 when we pull out and run after the 04 election.

5. What will end?

The Free Press? Or not reporting collaborator deaths?

Your point about Iraq is well taken. I suspect that the colonial
administration there does not want that sort of News disseminated,
and I don't know how many reporters are anxious to run around in
Iraq at this point.

Islamic states seem fond of the public dispensation of Justice,
so I would expect to continue to see this sort of thing. Like the
Saudis and their public beheadings. They have a somewhat different
notion of judicial process too, but given that we have the highest
incarceration rate in the World, it's hard for me to get worked up
about the wonders of our "fair" courts. After dragging the dead
bodies of Saddams little darlings through the media, it's harder to
get much traction with charges of barbarism, too.

We need to buy them some bulldozers and helicopters with Hellfire
missles so they can pursue this sort of business in a civilized way.
No sticky residue left behind.

6. Al-Aqsa = Armed "offshoot" of the Fatah movement.
This is not a government judicial resolution, drdon, as you might suggest with your "excellent palestinian judicial system at work again," remark.

7. Dont you run the risk ....
Of saying something SO bad about SO many with SUCH a broad brush that eventually we come to only expect you to say that same thing over and over again: .. to the point where we may begin to question your objectivity in regards to the question: ..

"Are Arabs a moral people" ? ....

Can I guess what you will say to this question ? ....

I will be SHOCKED to the point of infarction to see a single post of a positive nature about ANY arab from you ..... ever .......

It "ALL devils! ALL the time!" on this radio dial .....

8. Interesting
Edited on Thu Aug-07-03 05:06 PM by drdon326
there are 3 or 4 posters who RELENTLESSLY post
any bash-israel thread but for some reason THAT
doesnt seem to bother you.

One recent poster said these MAGIC words:

"who said that any pro-Israeli partisans were grounded in the slightest bit of logic, morality, historical knowledge, or any sense of humanity or concern for others?"

did that bother you??

as for:
"I will be SHOCKED to the point of infarction to see a single post of a positive nature about ANY arab from you ..... ever ......."

the full 300 joules pending your infarction:)

10. You're going to wave that thread around as your defence?

It illustrates the opposite.

and the "I support a 'peaceful' palestinian state" statement for the record is enough for me. Why don't you take other simple statements for the record at face value? That's because they are a load of shit, right?

You only shed light on your own intent.

11. Well....stopped by for a visit??
last time we talked it wasnt much fun....for you that is.

"You only shed light on your own intent."

you just have a problem with anything that doesnt agree with
your one sided view. And any deviation from that seems to make
you get bent out of shape.

BTW...hows school going?

13. Brilliant retort

speaks volumes by the absence of any.

"last time we talked it wasnt much fun....for you that is."

Just another example of how you have lost track with any real sense of reality.

Can't even defend yourself.

Its just not fair.

Or of little interest.
