1. executions
leah ,   usa   (01.07.09)
these people are just insane and will not stop at anything. my prayers go out to the idf who are brave soldiers fighting a war w/no front.
2. As Always
Ivri ,   IL   (01.07.09)
It is not about collaborators. It is all about the poor guys possesions ( their women?...cars?...land?...or cellphone? ) or maybe debt consolidation Hammas style. typical usurpers and thieves.
3. good. they deserve it
hz ,   london uk   (01.07.09)
there is nogreater crime than betrayal of fellow countrymen and women at a time of war. The collaborator's information led to the deaths of innocent women and children, almost certainly, no matter whether a mlitant was hit or not. If it was an israeli citizen living in sderot who was giving hamas rocket teams coordinates and information of buildings what would the israeli public call for? The question of the inhumanity death penalty is a stupid one, as israels "guiding light" the usa, practises the death penalty in most of its states, and has in the past EXECUTED people from giving mere information to the 'enemy'. (remember the rosenberg couple anyone?) My last point is what an awful and shameful family these collaborators came from. Four brothers, all traitors? The only person i see to have an ounce of dignity in this story is the sister of the 4 scumbags who summoned enough courage to denounce four male members of her family.
4. What about their bosses?
A human being ,   Detroit, MI   (01.07.09)
GOD will deal with Mohamad dahlan, husni mubarak, Ahmad abulgheit, abu mazen and every murderer/murderer supporter and non-human being out there, both in the arab world and outside.
5. Tibi? Aloni? Amnesty? BBC? The Guardian? Your response?...
Tahl ,   Ashdod, Israel   (01.07.09)
Surely we'll promptly be hearing strong condemnation by all of these, of the horrible violation of human rights, and how Hamas leaders should be tried at the Hague for crimes against humanity. Surely.
6. The hamas boomerang
Joseph D ,   Italy   (01.07.09)
this is palestinian "democracy" guys... this is human right concept by Hamas. But hamas is in great danger... hamas keep the popolation in famine, and they sells information to Israel for eat something. Well done Hamas!! MoronS!
7. Nobody respect colaborator,Israel likes them but does not respect
ibrahim ,   pakistan   (01.07.09)
8. hz from London, lynch mob
Donbury ,   Montreal, Canada   (01.07.09)
Some so called radical activists have strange ideas of justice. Lynch the suspect without evidence or trial. Hz joins the lynch mob. And you complain about capital punishment! You don't know what crime is.
9. #3 Well in that case...
Tahl ,   Ashdod, Israel   (01.07.09)
Mordechai Vaanunu, Tali Fahima, and Azmi B'shara - all deserve the death penalty as well, for aiding Israel's enemies. If you agree with this, you'd prove your honesty. Otherwise you'd prove yourself as a hypocrite. I really have no problem with your opinion, as long as you're consistent with it, on both sides.
10. start an insurrection
mohson   (01.07.09)
Find some gazans and start some raids against hamas. Burn the hamas killers who are killing the true men and children of gaza. People of gaza, rise up and strangle the bastards of hamas who are stealing your food and medicine, killing your children and executing your fathers and doing the infidel work of the filthy shiite regime of the ahmadinejad and larijani.
11. These were good Palestinians
Maria   (01.07.09)
We need more like these, to kick the Hamas out of Gaza.I believe not all Palestinians support the Hamas group. I pray that the God of Israel will protect them.
12. # 11 God of Israel!!!
Ahmed ,   Gaza   (01.07.09)
You have no brain !! Are you saying there is God of israel and god of jordan and god of Costa Rica?? It's one god who will judge all. How sick Israelis are!! They wanna have their own definition of democracy, humna rights, dignity, collaboration, and even their own God!
13. International hypocrisy
Steve   (01.07.09)
Where is the UN resolution condemning Hamas for doing this? Where are the representatives of the human rights groups? Shouldn't they be condemning this? How come no governments are condemning this? It seems that if Israel does something, there is an international outcry, but when a terror group kills innocent people the world is silent. Disgusting.
14. Casualties
Arie ,   BaGolan   (01.07.09)
The UN of course is counting these as civilian casualtis. In fact, I am confident the three brothers executed were counted in the alleged 'family killed' by the strikes. Earlier in the week, 76 fatah men were shot with no indication of where they are or if they are alive. They too have been counted amongst the 'civilian' casualties! Carry on!
15. Their families?
Ed ,   USA   (01.07.09)
What happened to the families of the executed men? Is it reasonable to suppose that Hamas placed them (dead or alive) in the UN school and in other sites? Diabolical, but the sort of thing Hamas would do.
16. # 3 Regarding the sister with dignity
Yael ,   Jerusalem   (01.07.09)
Sure, after losing 4 of her siblings (remember, one was executed last week by the practitioners of the Religion of Peace?) she sure saw herself being their next victim. No dignity here but who could judge her? And you, a man of peace, national pride and justice are nothing but a primitive blood thirsty lynch man.
17. To: Hz, from London uk
Baalthsr ,   CaNADA   (01.07.09)
Hz, Are You saying that "Hamas" is a lawful organization and their actions at using children as human shields in time of warefare is OK? Are you judging the executed brothers without hearing their side of the story? Did you perhaps consider that this family was fed up with the "Gangster style " ruling of Hamas? More than anything, it appears that your response is awful and shemeful and it is you who is a SCUMBAG rather the 4 siblings that had dignity for their fellow Palestinians who are fed up with being ruled by "GANGSTERS, HOODLOOMS or SCUMBAGS "HAMAS"
18. #12 The Jews are the chosen people
(01.07.09)
you are just a mistake.
19. Are these men counted as "civilians killed in the fighting?"
Zvi   (01.07.09)
These are HAMAS murders, not executions. If he police kidnap you, summarily interrogate you and, without due process, gun you down in the street, then that is not an execution. It is a murder. Tell me, are these men counted as civilians killed in the current fighting?
20. Funny type of "jets" the IAF uses
Daniel Breslauer ,   Jerusalem   (01.07.09)
That IAF jet must be some kind of secret prototype. It looks very similar to a helicopter.
21. #5 ... yes ... bravo
Libyan Guy ,   Italy   (01.07.09)
You are right, they will all condem these killings as they will also condem the Israeli killings of the targets that come as a result of these acts, which inlcude inncocnet children and bypassers which are colateral damages, which are a horrible violation of human rights that Israel lost since long time back and for which its leaders should be and how Hamas leaders should be tried at the Hague for crimes against humanity.
22. a lesson from history
markin ,   usa   (01.07.09)
It may be worth remembering the treatment that Jewish anti-fascists doled out to Jewish collaborators in the Warsaw ghetto. I wouldn't want to stretch the analogy too far, but it is worth giving this a thought. Consider this letter to the editor by Prof. Israel Shahak, published on 19 May 1989 in Kol Ha'ir, Jerusalem: Falsification of the Holocaust .... As one who himself lived through the Holocaust, first in Warsaw then in Bergen-Belsen, I will give an immediate example of the total ignorance of daily life during the Holocaust. In the Warsaw ghetto, even during the period of the first massive extermination (June to October 1943), one saw almost no German soldiers. Nearly all the work of administration, and later the work of transporting hundreds of thousands of Jews to their deaths, was carried out by Jewish collaborators. Before the outbreak of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising (the planning of which only started after the extermination of the majority of Jews in Warsaw), the Jewish underground killed, with perfect justification, every Jewish collaborator they could find. If they had not done so the Uprising could never have started. The majority of the population of the Ghetto hated the collaborators far more than the German Nazis. Every Jewish child was taught, and this saved the lives of some them "if you enter a square from which there are three exits, one guarded by a German SS man, one by an Ukrainian and one by a Jewish policeman, then you should first try to pass the German, and then maybe the Ukrainian, but never the Jew". One of my own strongest memories is that, when the Jewish underground killed a despicable collaborator close to my home at the end of February 1943, I danced and sang around the still bleeding corpse together with the other children. I still do not regret this, quite the contrary.
23. Summary executions -- a war crime -- listed as casualties
DrRJP ,   Maimi, FL   (01.07.09)
Hamas stored munitions in the UN school, and that's what blew up. We have another terrorist-manufasctured Qana. I love how the world turns a blind eye to all of the war crimes that Hamas commits. Prisoners have confessions extrscted from them with torture, then they are summarily executed without trial. And, the chutzpah of Hamas is to list these murders as Israeli-caused casualties!! Hamas has killed more Palestinian citizens in Gaza than Israel ever did. And then, of course, we have a Qana-like "massacre of children" which Hamas caused, and taking a page from Hezbollah's playbook, they show it to the world as a deliberate targeting of civilians by Israel. The IDF gave ample warning for people to leave the scene. Hamas gives no warning, and that's why it's called, "terrorism."
24. In the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king.
adolf ,   germany   (01.07.09)
You are all being betrayed and setup by zionism and are too arrogant to see it. Watch for the planned goyim backlash.
25. HZ
Cato ,   The Great Satan   (01.08.09)
What is ironic is that just about every Arab coutry is a collaborator with Israel too. All the Arab countries know that Israel is not a problem. It does not use its might in an unwarranted way. They do fear Iran and Iranian ambitions. Hamas is a creature of Iran. Don't be surprised when Saudi Arabia funds the Israeli air forces destruction of nuclear facilities in Iran after this is all over. Israel has never had so many Arab friends.
26. crack in tap water
Yo Mama ,   3rd Rock   (01.08.09)
The same people that perpetrated the holocaust on the first nations peoples of the americas, (UK,US), took the "israeli's" by the hand to the shores of the mediterranean and helped them do the very same to the palestinians. One side has rifles, rocks and pipe bombs called "rockets".The other side has everything right up to nukes.The kill ratio is 100 to one or more. My heart bleeds for poor israel, made to suffer under the constant threat of rocks and pipe bombs.Oh how tough their lives must be. It's just like the indians, shooting arrows at those poor american cavalrymen. Oh the humanties, my heart bleeds for poor isreal.When will it end?. BTW, are they putting crack in tap water now?......
