PA sentences six to death for collaborating with Israel
By Lamia Lahoud
GAZA CITY (April 8) - A Palestinian military court sentenced six Palestinians to death yesterday for collaborating with Israel. The sentences were handed down in a secret session held in the pre-dawn hours in Gaza City, Palestinian security officials said.
The sentence of one of the accused, 15-year-old Abdel Khalim Hamdan of Khan Yunis, was commuted to 15 years at hard labor because of his age, the officials said.
"It is a way of boosting the morale of the Palestinians... showing the people that the Palestinian Authority is still active and is still resisting Israel by taking to trial and sentencing people" who are accused of collaboration with Israel, a PA source said.
The other five, all adults who had been arrested over the past six months, were sentenced to death for violating Palestinian security by giving information to Israel on Palestinian security installations and details on Palestinian men who were later assassinated by Israel, the court ruled.
Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat must approve the death sentences before they can be carried out. About 40 similar sentences await Arafat's approval.
Palestiinalaisten puheenjohtajan Yasser Arafatin täytyy hyväksyä kuolemantuomiot ennen kuin ne pannaan täytäntöön. 40 samankaltaista tuomioita odottavat Yasser Arafatin hyväksyntää.
Killings of Palestinians suspected of collaborating with Israel have become almost a daily occurrence as the fighting with Israel has intensified in recent weeks. Last week, 10 Palestinians were killed on one day for allegedly cooperating with Israel.
siis
Viime viikolla 10 palestiinalaista tapettiin yhteistyön tekemisestä Israelin kanssa.
Three collaborators were dragged out of a jail in Bethlehem and executed publicly and then dragged through the city, after PA police prevented Palestinian militants from Fatah from hanging the bodies from the municipal building in Bethlehem's Manger Square in front of the Church of Nativity. In Jenin, the other seven people were taken out of jail and killed in public.
Lyhyesti:Kolme palestiinalaista yhteistyöntekijää Israelin kanssa teloitettiin julkisesti Betlehemissä. Heidän ruumiinsa raahattiin kaupungin läpi. Palestiinalaisten poliisi esti Fatah terroristijärjestön sotilaita ripustamasta ruumiita Betlehemin kaupungintalon ja Jeesuksen syntymäkirkon eteen.
Jeninin kaupungissa (palestiinalaisten alueella) seitsemän muuta tuotiin palestiinan vankilasta ja tapettiin julkisesti.
In Ramallah last month, the corpse of an accused collaborator was strung up from a monument in the center of town. Since the IDF entered West Bank towns in the search for terrorists, several collaborators were reportedly killed in Jenin and Nablus. During the first intifada, both places were hotbeds of Fatah militias, who made it their goal to hunt down and kill those suspected of collaboration.
Also, Palestinian gunmen recently stormed a court session in Jenin when they heard that one of three accused collaborators had only been sentenced to hard labor, instead of getting the death penalty, because of his young age. The gunmen beat and killed the suspects in the bathroom and later dragged the bodies through the streets.
Palestinians said the killing of collaborators is the result of Israel's policy of assassinating wanted terrorists, the lack of confidence in the PA's legal system, and growing lawlessness as result of the intifada and the PA's reluctance to intervene.
Palestinian militants took advantage of the vacuum created by the Israeli invasion and took the law into their own hands, a PA source explained. He said the PA opposed such killings without trial and Palestinian security chiefs have urged Palestinians to let the PA deal with collaborators. But they have done little to punish those who take the law into their own hands.
In the present situation, there is nothing the PA can do, since the killings are taking place in areas that have been taken over by the IDF, the PA source argued. "There are no policemen to enforce the law, since most of those in uniform have taken off their uniforms, put down their weapons, some even have surrendered not to be killed," the PA source explained. The PA leadership also has no way of communicating with its security people on the ground and Arafat's isolation makes it impossible for him to enforce any law on the ground, the PA source added.
Before the Israeli incursions into Palestinian towns and the isolation of Arafat many Palestinians, especially among the middle class, had deplored the degree of lawlessness and demanded that the PA enforce the law and stop such executions of collaborators by gunmen.
But following the IDF assault, Palestinians feel that the killing of these collaborators is a kind of revenge. Also Palestinian militants argued that they killed collaborators who had already been sentenced by the PA, because they feared that Israel would release them during its incursion.
They hold them responsible for the deaths of many Palestinian terrorists assassinated by the IDF and with the growing anger at Israel, the collaborators are easy targets of revenge. That is also the reason why the PA ordered the trials at this time, a PA source said.
Tämä on totta eikä propagandaa! Uskokaa jos haluatte, mutta tämä on totta! Suomalaisten olisi hyvä ottaa toisenlainen näkökulma asiaan. Palestiinalaiset muslimit yrittävät antaa valheellisen kuvan Palestinasta. Rauha ei saada Lähi-itään niin kauan kuin Fatah, Hamas ja muut terroristijärjestöt on tuhottu! Israelilla on oikeus pysyä alueilla. Tämä on sotaa terrorismia vastaan!

Näi on,palestiinalaiset terrorist.soveltavat samaa
julmaa,raukkamaista,pelottelu taktiikkaa kuin
talibaanit Afkanissa,murhattuja roikutetaan
puhelinpylväisiin,katuvaloihin,jalkapallomaaleihin
ja niin edelleen.Kuinka monta sataa on tapettu
salaa.Mitä rauhaan tulee,niin asiahan on ihan selvä,että niin kauan kuin terroristit on alueella
ei kannata puhua rauhasta.Tämähän pitäisi olla itsestään selvä asia kaikille.
No Israelilla siellä kyllä ei ole minkäänlaista oikeutta olla, onhan Israel sotaa käyvä maa palestiinalaisia vastaan.
YK siellä sitävastoin pitäisi olla - välttämättä ja välittömästi j o ajat sitten.
En ymmärrä ollenkaan miksei ole.
No jopas olet sinisilmäinen,ei missään nimessä yk
joukkoja sinne tapettavaksi.Terroristit ei halua
Yk joukkoja alueelle,sen ne on sanoneet monta kertaa,esi.m Hamas ja Islamiska Jihad - Sopiva
esimerkki on Libanon.Amerikkalaiset lähettivät
tuhansia sotilaita Libanoniin suojelemaa muslimi
väestöä,mutta tämä ei ollut terroristien mieleen
(Hizbollah) niinpä ne räjäyttivät 250 amerik.sotil
hengiltä.Ainoa ratkaisu on,israelille "vapaat"
kädet,myöskin libanonissa,antaa israelin murskata
iranilainen hizbollah lopullisesti maan päältä.
Minusta on kovin ihmeellistä, jos YK joukkoja lähetetään sotaa "estämään" ikäänkuin jonkinlaisina kasottain dollareita kahmivina ahneina loisina.
Niitten jotka lähtevät on varauduttava taistelemaan ja jopa kuolemaan ollessaan YK:n sotilaina vaarallisilla alueilla.
Minullakin on tuttuja jotka kehuvat vain ottaneensa Libanonissa ja Kyproksella aurinkoa, juhlineensa ja käyneensä huorissa.
Kun tultiin kotiin ostettiin sitten talot ja Mersut.
En ymmärrä tuollaista touhua ollenkaan.
Sionistit ryöstivät palestiinalaisten maat ja perustivat rasistisen juutalaisvaltion joka on ollut sodassa alueen alkuperäisväestön kanssa jo yli 50 vuotta.
Sotatoimet ovat viime aikoina kiihtyneet.
Mitä sinun mielestäsi pitäisi tehdä sellaisille henkilöille jotka työskentelevät vihollisen hyväksi, hehän ovat maanpettureita ?
Jos tutustut historiaan ja eri maiden lainsäädäntöön, tulet huomaamaan että maanpetoksesta seuraa kuolemanrangaistus.
