If this is what Palestinians do to their own, can you imagine what they would to to Israelis if they could?
Fatah officials in Ramallah told The Jerusalem Post that Hamas militiamen had been assaulting many Fatah activists since the beginning of the operation last Saturday. They said at least 75 activists were shot in the legs while others had their hands broken. ...
Meanwhile, sources close to Hamas revealed over the weekend that the movement had "executed" more than 35 Palestinians who were suspected of collaborating with Israel and were being held in various Hamas security installations.
The sources quoted Hamas officials as saying that the decision to kill the suspected collaborators was taken out of fear that Israel might try to rescue them during a ground offensive. ...
The Hamas official said that his security forces had launched a massive "preemptive" campaign aimed at thwarting Fatah's attempts to "spread anarchy and chaos." He confirmed that many Fatah operatives had been shot in the legs over the past few days by Hamas "to make sure that they don't help Israel."
Fahmi Za'arir, a Fatah spokesman in the West Bank, accused Hamas of "executing" a number of Fatah detainees. ... Za'arir [also] said that several Fatah members who attended funerals of victims of the IAF strikes were severely beaten by Hamas militiamen who accused them of collaboration with Israel.
Brutal.
Hardcore.
Murderers.
All of which qualifies Palestinians to have their own nation state, obviously. And the sooner the better!
Because if there's one thing the world needs to encourage, it's brutal, homicidal tyrannies.
Update: Another report at Jihad Watch on Hamas murders. Are they crucifying people?
Thoroughly evil people doing predictably hideous things. On the positive side, they're eating their own.
