?Collaborator hunter? takes over PA security



By Jerusalem Newswire Editorial Staff

The man most responsible for killing off those Palestinian Arabs willing to cooperate with Israel’s war on terror was promoted to overall commander of the Palestinian Authority’s security forces this week.

PLO chief Mahmoud Abbas promoted “Colonel” Rashid Abu Shabak on Tuesday from head of the Preventive Security Service in the Gaza Strip, a position he held for the past three years.

Abu Shabak spent years in an Israeli prison for his own role in terrorist attacks against Jewish men, women and children, and remained on Israel’s most wanted list until earlier this year, when he was removed as a goodwill gesture towards Abbas.

Since the start of the Arab-initiated Oslo War in September 2000, Abu Shabak and his men arrested more than 100 “Palestinians” in the Gaza Strip for allegedly cooperating with Israel’s efforts to combat terror, earning him the title “collaborator hunter.”

Many of his victims remain behind bars, awaiting sentencing and likely execution.

At least 15 Palestinian Arabs are currently on death row for assisting Israel in hunting down known terrorist killers.

The PA has executed scores of collaborators over the past decade, while many more have been brutally murdered in public by terrorist elements while PA security forces looked on.
