This also is one of the most reprehensible pieces of propaganda I have seen it quite some time -- and that really is saying something given what passes for a newspaper these days.
A taste:
"Men convicted by military tribunals.... Human rights groups have criticized the Hamas military tribunals, saying they often rely on confessions obtained through torture"
Well, then, ALL the 9/11 CONFESSIONS will have to be THROWN OUT then, huh?
And NOTHING can capture my DISAPPOINTMENT at the human rights groups that are obvious tools of Zionists. I feel so betrayed by their agenda-pushing selectivity and emphasis.
"Hamas executes 2 convicted informants" by Rizek Abdel Jawad, Associated Press | April 16, 2010
GAZA CITY — The Hamas government yesterday executed two men accused of collaborating with Israel, signaling an escalation in the militant Palestinian group’s method of controlling the Gaza Strip.
It was the first time the death penalty has been carried out in Gaza since Hamas violently seized power in the coastal area in 2007.
OYup, THERE THEY GO AGAIN!!!
They KNOW "Hamas overwhelmingly won Palestinian Parliament elections in 2006," but they keep repeating the same garbage!
Btw, Hamas foiled a COUP ATTEMPT!!!!
So WHY SHOULD WE BELIEVE THEM about ANYTHING -- especially all things Israel!
Answer: I DO NOT!
The bullet-riddled bodies of the men, convicted by military tribunals in 2008 and 2009, were dumped by armed men at Gaza City’s main hospital before dawn yesterday, a hospital employee said....
The killings drew condemnations from human rights groups and were likely to deepen Hamas’s international isolation. Human rights groups have criticized the Hamas military tribunals, saying they often rely on confessions obtained through torture.
Hey, it's a Zionist mirror of a newspaper; the only ones being isolated these days is USrael.
Amnesty International called the military proceedings unfair and said it was “gravely concerned’’ about the fate of other Palestinian prisoners held by Hamas....
I really am not interested in anything AI has to say anymore, and they will never get another cent from me so stop snail-mailing me stuff.
What about the PALESTINIANS ISRAEL has IMPRISONED -- including ELECTED LEGISLATORS!? Are they CONCERNED about THAT?
Hello?
In addition, Amnesty International and other human rights organizations accused Hamas gunmen of killing suspected collaborators during the chaos surrounding Israel’s Gaza offensive in the winter of 2008-2009.
And what of ISRAEL'S USE of WMD in their WAR-CRIMINAL KILLING SPREE, 'eh, AI?!
It is almost as if they are BLAMING Hamas for what ISRAEL HAS DONE, isn't it?
During the war, 17 people were found dead after fleeing a Gaza prison damaged in an Israeli air strike. Most had been held as suspected collaborators.
You know what I think? I think it was the air strike that got them.
You certainly do not expect me to believe the story, 'er, report that the Israelis, 'er, the newspaper gave us, do you?
Palestinian law allows the death penalty for those convicted of collaborating with Israel and other offenses. Technically, execution orders require a signature by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Since taking office in 2005, Abbas has signed such an order once, approving the execution of four convicted murderers in June 2005.
United States has the death penalty, right?
Oh, just checking.
The feeling I got from this article was that it is wrong -- at least, when Muslims exercise it.
