Hamas hangs two 'collaborators' as 'spies' for Israel

Shavua tov, a good week to everyone.

After being condemned by Richard Goldstone's favorite court system, two 'collaborators' were hanged by Hamas on Saturday.
The Hamas-run Minister of Interior said that the two men, who were not identified by name, were executed by hanging after a "military court" in the Gaza Strip found them guilty of "collaboration with Israeli occupation."
A statement released by the ministry said that the executions were carried out "in accordance with our religion and the Palestinian law."
The statement said that the two men had been convicted with "collaboration with a foreign hostile force, killing and espionage."
The executions were carried out in the presence of senior Hamas officials, lawyers, security officers and community leaders and representatives, the statement added.
Sounds like a party....
One of the men confessed to tipping Israel about the whereabouts about a Hamas police patrol in Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip, according to Hamas. An Israeli air strike later killed one of the policemen, Hamas added.
Hamas said the man was recruited as an informant after he had applied for a permit to enter Israel together with his ill mother, who required medical treatment.
The second man, according to Hamas, agreed to serve as an informant in return for a permit to work in Israel. He was accused of providing Israel with information that led to an Israeli military attack on a school and mosque during Operation Pillars of Defense.
Hamas claimed the man had also convinced his wife to serve as an informant.
The attorney-general in the Gaza Strip, Ismail Jaber, announced that the Hamas government would soon execute Palestinians convicted of "criminal offenses."
And I'm sure those confessions were freely given after the suspects had been read their Miranda rights and had the opportunity to consult with a lawyer. Right....
