| Gentle's Paleos Kill Suspected Collaborator |
| 2004-08-28 |
| via Weekend Australian Gunmen kill 'collaborator' August 29, 2004 A SUSPECTED Palestinian collaborator with Israel was executed late today by two gunmen outside a mosque in the West Bank city of Ramallah, Palestinian security sources said. Hassan Abu Sufiya, 27, from the village of Beit Sira, 15km west of Ramallah, died from multiple gunshot wounds to the head and chest, they said. He was gunned down in front of dozens of onlookers outside a mosque in Ramallah's Al-Amari refugee camp by the two men, one of whom was masked. The other gunman was recognised by witnesses as a known member of the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, an armed offshoot of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's mainstream Fatah movement. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the killing but the sources said it had been unofficially claimed by the Al Aqsa Brigades, which said it would issue an official statement later today. Such an execution - in front of a mosque and in full public view - is a common sign that someone is suspected of collaborating with Israel in its occupation of the Palestinian territories. The convenience this practice offers to the guys with guns is hard to ignore... I wonder... think it's ever been abused? Nah, of course not. |

| #5 Going to agree with Mike on that, and Frank too. I thought Gentle and Antiwar were the same person at first, but I think Gentle has a little more brains. That won't stop me from picking on her, but I do think she has a right to say what she thinks without out going over board on her. As for Antiwar, whatEver! |

| #3 Exactly Mr. G, and Stalin was not a real communist or he wouldn't have slaughtered all those Kulaks. Remember Communism means peace. |

| #2 Neither do I. You see Hitler was not a real Nazi, if he was he wouldn't have lost and the world would be happier. He shouldn't have killed all those innocents, remember Nazi means peace. |

| #1 Hey, let's exercise some restraint. Gentle is here participating with us. She truly is a brave person who deserves our respect. She has to answer for her own statements. She doesn't have to answer for the actions and statements of other people. . |
