"Since the uprising against Israel began in September 2000, 71 Palestinians have been killed on suspicion of serving as spies and informers, according to the Palestinian Human Rights Monitoring Group.

Two were publicly executed by the Palestinian Authority after rapid proceedings that made little pretence of being a fair trial. The others were victims of vigilante justice exacted by Palestinian armed groups - mainly those linked to Fatah. They were killed by the mob.

Most of the bodies were dumped in waste ground or in unmarked graves, denied a proper burial in a Muslim graveyard. Rajoub, however, escaped that final insult."

That has already been posted here by Hermit

but I understand that we may have missed something. Is it the fact that rule of law is problematic in Palestine since the uprising, or is it some other conclusion we should draw?
