Pass the popcorn: Hamas to bring public hangings back to Gaza

The Hamas regime in Gaza may be bringing back public hangings.

Gaza needs to bring back public hangings, senior court official Khaled el-Batash argued this week in an interview with the local media outlet Filistine.

Batash said courts should have their own police, who would implement court rulings by publicly executing condemned criminals.

Public executions would serve to deter Gaza residents from serious crime, he argued.

Other interviews revealed a split between top law officials in Gaza. Deputy head of police investigations Raeed al-Amoudi accused Israel of being behind the wide-scale weapons ownership among Gaza Arabs. Gaza police are trying to keep track of weapons traffic, he said.

On the other hand, top prosecutor Yahya al-Farah said weapons ownership by Gaza Arabs is a necessary part of the fight against Israel. Gaza police must not track weapons ownership, he said, in order to maintain the element of surprise against Israel in case of a military conflict.

Maybe they can bring back defenestration too. Pass the popcorn....
