The Jerusalem Post this week carried the story of Mohammed Abu Kainas and his son, Rami, both of whom were arrested by the Palestinian Authority for allegedly "collaborating" with Israel.
Both men, along with seven other alleged collaborators captured recently in Gaza, are currently being prosecuted by a PA "court".
If convicted, they will be summarily executed by their "government".
This is not a new phenomenon. The PA regularly hunts down those residents under its control who are suspected of cooperating with Israel's security forces in the battle against Islamic terror.
But while this scene is not uncommon, what continues to amaze is the lack of attention it receives from Israel, Western governments, the international media and so-called "human rights" agencies.
The Palestinian Authority - Israel's ostensible peace partner and the organization that has pledged itself to root out anti-Jewish Islamic terrorism - is set to execute a Palestinian father and son for cooperating with Israeli forces in their battle against the terrorists.
Does this not bother anyone?
Where are the human rights organizations? Why do they devote so much time to protesting Israel's security fence, but have not opened their mouths publicly over the PA's murder of its own citizens? Citizens who, it should be pointed out, have done nothing wrong but to act according to the spirit of the Oslo Accords, by joining together with Israel to eliminate the scourge of terror.
Where is the international outrage over the fact that the PA would not only violate its signed agreements, but that it would actually kill anyone under its authority who attempted to fulfill those commitments?
How is it that no one cares that the PA behaves in this way?
The PA is actually defending the terrorists by prosecuting and executing those who would protest the use of their neighborhoods and the recruitment of their children by the terror groups by aiding Israel in its war on terror.
And this is not cause for concern for a world so obsessed with Middle East peace?
Does this not speak volumes about the Palestinian Authority's true intentions?
In the United States, regular citizens are encouraged to be on the lookout for possible terrorists, and to immediately report their whereabouts to security forces so that the threat can be eliminated. Palestinian Arab civilians are murdered by their own "government" for doing the same thing.
And Israel is supposed to trust the PA to be a partner for peace? Israel is supposed to place the security of its citizens in the hands of an organization that defends terrorism by executing terror's detractors?
Either the world is insanely naive, blind or continues to harbor a deep-seated hatred for the Jews, not to mention the average Palestinian Arab.
