I Don't See Any Way That This Could Go Poorly
It's so tough trying to maintain law and order in the West Bank and Gaza Strip these days:
The armed wings of Hamas and Fatah announced earlier this week that they have decided to form an "anti-collaborator" hit team to track down and kill Palestinians who have links with the Israeli security forces... "The Palestinian Authority should implement law and order and arrest those collaborators," Sami Abu Zohri, a local Hamas leader, said
This should go well. And by well I mean "in the most disgusting, shameful, and primitive way possible":
Over the past week, at least four alleged collaborators were killed in separate attacks in the West Bank and Gaza Strip...
The man killed in Beit Rima was identified as Mohammed Husan, 30. Villagers said he was forced to announce through the loudspeakers of a mosque that he had been collaborating with Israel since 1997 and that he was responsible for the killing of wanted men.
Less than 24 hours after Husan was executed in the village center, the al-Aksa Martyrs Brigades published a statement announcing that he had been killed by mistake and that he was innocent. The group also sent an apology to the victim's family, saying a further investigation revealed that he was not a "traitor."
Seriously, the Palestinians are like this close to having a functioning civil society. Just another couple of weeks, build them a courthouse, and they'll be good to go.
