PA SET TO EXECUTE "COLLABORATORS"

PA to resume executing prisoners
The Palestinian Authority has decided to resume executions of prisoners on death row for the first time since August 2002, with 15 due to be carried out by the end of the month, a senior PA official in the Gaza Strip announced Thursday.

At least half of the inmates were convicted of "collaboration" with Israel, while the others were found guilty of murder in criminally-motivated offences. Saeb al-Kidwa, head of the PA military courts, said 15 prisoners currently on death row "will be executed during this month."

He said PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas was expected to approve the executions soon after the PA mufti, Sheikh Ekrimah Sabri, endorses the sentences as required by law.

THAT SOUND YOU DON'T HEAR IS HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH AND AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL CONDEMNING THE P.A. YOU SEE, THE WEST'S RACIST ATTITUDE TOWARD ARABS/MUSLIMS IS THAT YOU CAN'T EXPECT THEM TO ACT LIKE ANYTHING BUT SAVAGES. ISRAEL ON THE OTHER HAND, EXPECTS THEM TO ACT LIKE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY OF NATIONS.
