A Palestinian man killed his brother and his father on Tuesday in a family feud over the brother's suspected role as a collaborator for Israel, an Israeli police spokesman said.

The fight erupted in the Omar family in the West Bank town of Baka al-Sharkia when one of the sons - an Israeli citizen who apparently acts as an informer for Israel's security services - came to visit his father, police spokesman Doron Ben-Amo said.

One of the other sons allegedly killed the suspected collaborator and his father, Ben-Amo said. It remained unclear whether the father was killed intentionally or while trying to break up the fight, he said.

During more than three years of Palestinian-Israeli violence, about 60 suspected Palestinian collaborators have been killed by fellow Palestinians angry over the assistance they give to Israeli security services in their search for fugitives, some of whom are arrested and others killed. Masked Palestinian militants have displayed the bodies of suspected collaborators whom they killed. Others have been executed in public, their bodies left hanging in town squares.

6. How true

On the one hand it is the constant fear palestinians live with from all militants, Hamas or the IDF - who can they turn to? Who can they trust? Hamas or the IDF will kill someone - the informant or the the one who was informed on.

neither will have a trial - to some, excuses exist for this.

On the other, any support palestinians receive becomes marginalized by those who use situations as this as some form of rationalization of their racist beliefs.

See...this proves Palestinians are...

a no win situation except for those who feed the fire of hate from thousands of miles away.
