(IsraelNN.com) The head of the Islamic Wakf in Jerusalem, Mufti Ikrema Sabri, has sentenced five Arab men to death.

The executions, which have already been approved by PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen), are expected to be carried out shortly.

Of the 51 PA Arabs slated for execution, about half are accused of helping Israel.

The PA has held several public executions in the past, killing "collaberators" with Israel in particularly grisly manner in order to deter other Arabs from helping the Jewish State prevent terror attacks.

Guess he didn't consider "World Opinion" like SCOTUS did.

Execution of children for "helping" Israel.

Will the State Dept reward the Palestinians with $1,000,000
for each execution PROVING that they are NOTHING but terrorists?

or will the State Dept DEMAND the Palestinians turn over the murderers of Americans?

[SunkenCiv]

Uh-oh. I guess this means that the member states of the European Union will condemn these sentences, and all such sentences of death passed by "Palestinian" authorities, just as they condemned the death sentence on the murderer Ira Einhorn, who lived more than 20 years in public exile in France.

Psst...hey towelhead...over here...this Jew needs some help.

They are accused of Treason... Same would happen in the US, Israel, UK etc etc

"Execution of children for "helping" Israel."

Can't be true. Justice Kennedy says the U.S. is the only nation left in the world that executes children. SCOTUS wouldn't lie.

This should be the end of the prisoner release.

"They are accused of Treason... Same would happen in the US, Israel, UK etc etc"

You are kidding right? The US, Israel, and UK don't even execute terrorists, and they give medals to people who help stop terrorists.

The PA doesn't publicly support terrorists either, but by executing Arabs who help Israel stop terrorists, it shows that it actually does support terrorists.

The PA shows itself to be the lying murderous organization that it is. Trying to equate them and what they are doing with the US or any other Western country is both stupid and absurd. There is no comparison.

[Alex Marko]

whats ridiculous about it? Are you that naive? What about Jonathon Pollard? or Ames? Do you advocate the execution of american traitors? If you do, dont even attempt to argue my point because the hypocrisy would be overwhelming. One mans terrorist is anothers freedom fighter. You are looking at it at a US perspective and not a Palestinian one.

I do not advocate any terrorist in any form, however, it is logical for the PA to execute anyone they beleive is feeding israel information. And, you do not even know what the terms of their prosecution was. You are just speculating.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

What an original idea... What if the US adopted that jurisprudential model for those caught helping terrorist nations??? That would wake them up.

[monday]

"What about Jonathon Pollard? or Ames?"

Neither were exposing American terrorists because guess what? There are no American terrorists.

No, I don't think we should execute traitors, I don't even think they should be jailed. I think they should be deported and barred from entering the country ever again.

You said; "One mans terrorist is anothers freedom fighter."

So you approve of the Palestinian terror tactic of killing innocent civilians. Presumably these civilians are enslaving the poor freedom fighters in your mind. That you imagine that this is possible shows just how distorted from reality your world view is.

Just so as to be clear. Freedom fighters fight military targets and politicians. Terrorists kill innocent women and children.

Freedom fighters=good, noble / Terrorist=bad, ignoble

See how easy that is?

[Alouette]

They are accused of Treason... Same would happen in the US, Israel, UK etc etc

What does their "treason" consist of? They cooperated with the Israelis to prevent terrorist attacks.

Isn't that what Abu Mazen is required to do as part of the "peace process"? He should hang himself first.

FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel ping list.

The head of the Islamic Wakf in Jerusalem, Mufti Ikrema Sabri, has sentenced five Arab men to death.

this is the man who the Israelis insanely have given control over the Temple Mount. He should be expelled from Jerusalem.

[Ready4Freddy]

Does the article mention the execution of under age / children? It does say that 5 arab 'men' will be the first to go, actually sounds like a good start....

Guess he didn't consider "World Opinion" like SCOTUS did.

[joesnuffy]

One mans terrorist is anothers freedom fighter

Guess it depends on who the man is....moral relativism is not reality

Truth is truth even if no one believes it and a lie is a lie even if everyone believes it.

[familyop]

How can we (USA) be giving money to the PA? Although I understand the strategy behind it, it's mindbending.

And the General who is going to work with the PA to try to start turning the Palestinians around has a mindbending job ahead of him. I wonder if, situations and time constraints really considered, he'll be able to manage to admin the reprogramming of so many kids who've had so much hatred drilled into them--even in their schools.
