men suspected of collaborating with Israel

Is this different than men suspected of terrorizing? Whether it results in dead Palestinians or dead Israelis, if the suspicious prove false, it is simply more of the obligatory collateral damage we are expected to be accustomed too.

"A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly against the city. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in the accents familiar to his victim, and he wears their face and their garments and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city; he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared. The traitor is the plague."Marcus Tullius Cicero, 106-43 BC

You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." Winston Churchill

It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees! Emiliano Zapato

Some of the world’s people need live by words we merely read from time to time and ponder the circumstance that caused their invention.

Israel gave territory back to Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia because those countries were willing to live in peace with Israel. Lebanon, Syria and the Palestinians were not. They did not want peace and so they shall not have it. They want war and they will now get what they've asked for.

They will lose.
