Western anti-Israel activists have increasingly come out in support of Hamass extrajudicial executions of Gazan dissidents in the wake of a ceasefire with Israel, casting those slain as traitors in a narrative that often calls for revenge for the death of pro-Hamas influencer Saleh Al-Jafarawi. In the wake of the Friday ceasefire and partial withdrawal of Israeli troops from portions of Gaza, Hamas has mobilized forces to crack down on dissidents and opposition within.
Clashes have erupted between Doghmush clan militiamen and Hamas operatives, with deaths on both sides. The terrorist organization has fought with factions of the Gazan clan before, such as in 2008. Now, Hamas is branding them and others as collaborators to justify executions. Videos have circulated on Palestinian media of bound and kneeling men being shot dead in public execution ceremonies.
Gaza journalist Motasem A. Dalloul echoed Hamass assertions that these individuals were collaborators, but in a Tuesday X/Twitter post, he leveled a wide variety of charges against it, including stealing aid, attacking aid seekers, monopolizing goods, damaging medical aid, blackmail, kidnapping terrorists, and destabilizing the internal front.
The killings have received backing on social media, including from notable anti-Israel figures. UK National Health Service doctor, Rahmeh Aladwan, remarked that every single one of the collaborators must face justice. Former MMA fighter Jake Shields approved of Hamass actions because these people betrayed their nation and the penalty for treason is death.

Supporting these HAMAS executions is a pretty 'bad look'
for 'pro-Palestinian' supporters---
since HAMAS is executing Palestinians without any trial....
