Hamas plans 13 public executions in Gaza

One of the things middle easterners and people of middle east decent (me being one) have to do is let go this concept of capital punishment and executions. Its disheartening to think that after thousands of years. There is still a mob frenzy over watching people get murdered on the streets and cheer it on like the ancient Romans did when the lions ate the prisoners. Iran is on pace this year for a record number of executions. If you consider the the population and the amount of people there planning on executing they seem to be even a head of china per capita.

Hamas plans 13 public executions in Gaza, and not for collaborating with Israel
