Hamas vows to keep executing 'collaborators' in Gaza
GAZA CITY — The Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas ruling the Gaza Strip said on Monday it will keep up executions of those convicted of spying for Israel despite the outrage of human rights groups.

"We will continue to implement the death penalty for all those who are so sentenced," Hamas interior minister Fathi Hamad told a press conference, adding that spying for Israel was a "red line" for the Islamist-run government.

"Anyone who finds himself in this treacherous condition is an agent and a spy. He is providing information without regard to who he really is, and should be brought to justice," he said.

"If there is a death sentence we will implement it immediately in order to preserve our people and its project of jihad (holy war) and liberation."

Rights groups roundly condemned the Hamas government's pre-dawn execution by firing squad of two alleged "collaborators" last Thursday, saying there was little chance of them having been given a fair trial in the besieged territory.

1. Just because Israel is wrong, that doesn't mean that Hamas is right.
Uncompromising extremists are running the show on both sides.
