Hamas carries out public executions after returning to the streets of Gaza

www.independent.co.uk

This show of force, welcomed by some Palestinians after months of lawlessness, could now threaten the fragile ceasefire, especially as all living hostages from Hamas’s 7 October 2023 attack have been released.

The Hamas-run police maintained a high degree of public security after the militants seized power in Gaza 18 years ago while also cracking down on dissent. They largely melted away in recent months as Israeli forces seized large areas of Gaza and targeted Hamas security forces with airstrikes.

Ignoring that the IDF killed 6 people yesterday during this "ceasefire" -_-
Jesus christ why can't Hamas and the Zionist party just trade for each others leaderships so they can be executed and we can move past these old fucking religious extremists who keep us busy killing each other?
FFS I hate what religion enables us to do to each other.

  it’s not religion. it’s class.

  religion is used as lubricant in the class machinery

  I'm sorry, dude, but this is cope from the religiously indoctrinated.
  Right-wing ideologies and religious participation are intrinsically linked.

  Dude take a break from the Marxist revolution to recognize there is more than one dynamic in the world.

  Hamas said it would disarm once the occupation end. They accept the two state solution based on pre 67 borders. There is all kind of militant in Palestine there is not only muslims fighting the occupation. From thr palestinian side it was never about religion but liberation from settler colonialism
- xyzzy @lemmy.today 1mo ago
  Do you really, truly believe most Israelis don't want exactly this? The vast majority of Israelis identify as Zionists, and specifically the kinds of Zionists that would at best support expelling Palestinians.
  
  SoftestSapphic @lemmy.world 1mo ago
  Yeah, the propaganda is pretty strong, and it seems they've insulted their people from reason.
JamesTBagg @lemmy.world 1mo ago
Powerful local families and armed gangs – including some anti-Hamas factions backed by Israel – stepped into the void. Many are accused of hijacking humanitarian aid and selling it for profit, contributing to Gaza’s starvation crisis.
Nahed Sheheiber, head of Gaza’s private truckers union, said Hamas was acting against gangs that had terrorised people in areas controlled by Israel.
“Those gangs looted aid and killed people under the protection of the [Israeli] occupation,” he told The Associated Press, saying they operated in so-called red zones where Israel had ordered people to evacuate. The Israeli military did not respond to a request for comment.
[...]
Residents of the area, who spoke on condition of anonymity out of security concerns, said the gang, led by Hussam Doghmush, was known to loot aid convoys and rob abandoned homes in areas controlled by the Israeli military. They said Doghmush was among some two dozen people killed in the clashes with Hamas, including a local journalist and a son of a senior Hamas official based outside Gaza.
Hamas-linked Telegram channels said Hamas had targeted “collaborators and traitors” working with Israel. The Hamas-run Sahm security force, which says it targets looters and other criminals, shared footage that appeared to show its forces killing eight people execution-style in the streets as people cheered. It said the detainees were gangsters.

"Could now threaten the ceasefire"
Lol, yeah sure. This is what will do it im sure. Nothing else at all...
By the way, for those that actually read the article you'll notice it's super interesting the parts that OP quoted there and the parts that he left out.

  Nobody batted an eye when Israel killed 5 Palestinians a day or two ago

You guys do understand that Israel has been funding ISIS gangs to rape and kill Palestinians? How exactly should the people of Palestine deal with this issue? Ask them politely to leave?
- ReCursing @feddit.uk 1mo ago
  I dunno, but I'm pretty sure the right option is not public executions without due process perpetrated by a bunch of religious extremist nutjobs hours after ironically fascist nutjobs stopped publicly executing civilians without due process only they didn't actually stop.
  
  Not_mikey @lemmy.dbzer0.com 1mo ago
  Due process would be great if there was a functioning court and prison system, but Israel bombed all that
  
  mrdown @lemmy.world 1mo ago
  No, fuck anybody who support the state comiting the genocide.
  
  BCBoy911 @lemmy.ca 1mo ago
  
  Please. There's never been an anti-colonial movement where collaborators weren't punished harshly. Nelson Mandela's ANC executed collaborators in famously brutal fashion.

  Oh, of course, Hamas should just turn them into the police. Silly me. Oi Hamas, this Britbong bloke says you ought to call the fuzz!
kittenzrulz123 @lemmy.blahaj.zone 1mo ago
Liberals when the Zionists kill civillians and label them terrorists: "Israel has a right to defend itself from terrorists"
Liberals when Hamas acturally kills terrorists except they're backed by the GDF: "Wahhh this is a violation of international law which I suddenly care about now"
- absentbird @lemmy.world 1mo ago
  I don't consider myself a liberal, but personally I would prefer everyone to stop killing each other. Such a waste of life.
  
  boonhet @sopuli.xyz 1mo ago
  I do consider myself something that many on Lemmy would call a shitlib (I'm a socdem basically) and I concur. Would be nice if people stopped killing each other, regardless of who's doing it to who.
  
  kittenzrulz123 @lemmy.blahaj.zone 1mo ago
  These people are guilty of terrorism, murder, rape, theft of critical supplies during a genocide, complicity in genocide, and collaboration with the Zionists. What are they supposed to just apologize and everyone moves on?
Formfiller @lemmy.world 1mo ago
This seems like Israeli propaganda. Are they allowing impartial journalists into Palestine? Israel killed over 250 journalists.
- BCBoy911 @lemmy.ca 1mo ago
  It was interesting to see all the mainstream outlets suddenly talking about extrajudicial killings in Gaza like they haven't spent the last 2 years cheerleading for an extrajudicial genocide in Gaza. The articles are all meant to present an implicit message - "look at how scary and violent these Arab barbarians are. This is what happens when you let them run their own country instead of killing them all".
  
  IndustryStandard @lemmy.world 1mo ago
  
  The media cheered on Israel bombing a hospital and killing 20 people because there might have been a "Khamaas camera!". (there was not, it was a journalist camera)
  But suddenly they start talking about due process and law when Palestinians execute Israeli collaborators.
mrdown @lemmy.world 1mo ago
Vietcong executed collaborators and most people today don't deny that they was still a resistance group
- Spesknight @lemmy.world 1mo ago
  The difference between resistance and terrorist is only who wins in the end.
fodor @lemmy.zip 1mo ago
Oh, it's Hamas that's threatening peace? I seem to understand that Israel is already ahead of the game on that. Sigh.
- Fizz @lemmy.nz 1mo ago
  This isnt threatening peace. Trump was aware and said they are allowed to police the strip.
IndustryStandard @lemmy.world 1mo ago
How does Hamas executing Israeli collaborators threaten a ceasefire exactly?
- MrMakabar @slrpnk.net 1mo ago
  In this conflict it is only a matter of time until the ceasefire is broken. Anything could be used as a cause.
  
  Eximius @lemmy.world 1mo ago
  
  I think you're right on your first sentence. Second one is entirely superfluous; and doesn't have substance in support for the question.

  Your antisemitism is active support of Israel. Not all Israelis are Jews and even more importantly not all Jews are Israelis. Antisemitism is the biggest argument for Zionism. As in if Jews are hated by everybody else, they need to have their own country to live without hatred.
electric_nan @lemmy.ml 1mo ago
Israel spent the last 2 years publicly executing hundreds of thousands of civilians. Hamas (legitimate governing organization of Gaza) is finally freed up to deal with the collaborators and criminals who were taking advantage of their already brutalized neighbors.
- WildPalmTree @lemmy.world 1mo ago
  The word "legitimate" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there, bro.
  
  electric_nan @lemmy.ml 1mo ago
  Who is the legitimate governing body in Gaza, if not Hamas, bro?
frustrated_phagocytosis @fedia.io 1mo ago
Same game, different team. Never was about freeing Palestinians from Hamas or IDF. Civilians are just meat for them to express emotion through violence.
Fizz @lemmy.nz 1mo ago
Back to business as usual?
I_Has_A_Hat @lemmy.world 1mo ago

This whole conflict has been like watching a video from halfway around the world of a child molester mercilessly punch and kick the unconscious body of a second child molester after he hit the first one in the face. And then having a bunch of people ask "which child molester do you support?" who then get really upset and confused when you say neither, that you consider them both to be monsters, and don't really care if either, or both, of them die.

  You are completely wrong.
  super power was not trying to get the hostages the were accelerating the genocide.
  There is nothing wrong of killing traitor who steal and collaborate with the genociders.
Cyberflunk @lemmy.world 1mo ago
we have absolutely zero concept of what its like to live in a wartorn bombed out, active warzone. we can assume Hamas is awful, but this article paints Palestinians we the same brush. uhm. the civilians in this genocide don't have the privilege of "options" . this article is for westerners only who get manipulated to believe things. The probably sourced 3 propoganda tiktok videos as "some palestinians"
- Doorbook @lemmy.world 1mo ago
  Hamas is awful based on what exactly? It is a government like any government with the extra of being in the largest open prison since they got elected..
  
  Cyberflunk @lemmy.world 1mo ago
  are you for real, or just ignorant? a "government" that tortures, kills, represses its citizens....
  oh wait, thats us.
  
  Squeebah @lemmy.today 1mo ago
  Ah yes, murdering and raping 1200 people in a matter of hours is nowhere near awful...
- BCBoy911 @lemmy.ca 1mo ago
  It's pure racism. Decades of propaganda has trained people to see violence by Muslims as different from violence from other groups. People here have no issue with Ukraine torturing and executing Russian collaborators, but when Arabs do it they're seen as violent savages who've been hypnotized into ultra-violence by their primitive religion.
  
  cabb @lemmy.dbzer0.com 1mo ago
  The only mention of torture on that page is Ukraine killing someone involved with torture. Do you have a wiki page that talks about the torture done by Ukraine in detail?
  
  couldhavebeenyou @lemmy.zip 1mo ago
  Which 'race' is muslim?
  Do you believe all Arabs have the same or a religion?
