SUMMARY EXECUTIONS ON THE WEST BANK: Where’s the outcry from Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, or Mary Robinson over events like this?

Hours later, three bound Palestinians, apparently suspected informers for Israel, were found dead at the same spot where the car was hit.

Palestinian gunmen shot the suspected collaborators in the head, raising concerns of lawlessness in Palestinian controlled areas as Israeli forces withdraw from the West Bank.

Perhaps Arafat should be held accountable.

Or, if executions by death squads don’t arouse the ire of Mary Robinson, perhaps Israel should form some of its own? After all, it’s been savagely criticized for simply arresting Palestinians suspected of terror, while these acts of undeniable savagery go almost completely uncriticized simply because they don’t (quite) bear the open imprimatur of government sponsorship.

You have to live with the incentive structures you create.
