Gideon Levy, Haaretz, December 23:
"On Sunday morning of last week Mahmoud Shawara, a labourer, mounted his mule and set out from his home in the village of Nuaman to look for work in the neighbouring village of Umm Touba. At about 9 A.M., he was arrested by a Border Police unit that detains workers who do not have an entry permit to Israel every morning.
"The Border Police ordered Shawara to get into their jeep. He refused. He did not want to leave his mule unattended. At 9:30 his brother saw him for the last time, healthy and sound. At 4 P.M. a resident of Umm Touba named Mohammed Hamadan noticed a mule galloping toward the village and dragging something behind it. From a distance, Hamadan thought it might be scrap metal. As the mule came closer, Hamadan saw that it was dragging an injured, battered man. The mule, he says, was galloping down the slope and looked frightened. He stopped the animal and then discovered that the person being dragged across the ground was Mahmoud Shawara, from the neighbouring village, whom he knew well. Shawara's left hand was roped to the mule's neck. He was unconscious and barely breathing. His skull and face were smashed on the left side and blood was pouring from him. He managed to utter a few broken, unclear words or parts of words and then stopped breathing."

It is revolting what palestinians do to those they believe collaberated with a Jew.
No idea, but you are a known antisemite. The odds are that you will press the case as if the Palestinians are actually telling the truth.
I, personally, don't know what happened. But Palestinians admit that they kill suspected collaberators (no trial, just a guess)
So glad that you were there so that we now know what happened.
The number of suspected collaberators murdered by the palestinians
Anybody got a stick?
Uppy, nothing in the story stated the Israelis did anything to him.
Whatever the report said of the Government investigation, it didn't say how anyone knew what happened. Sounds like Palestinians tied a suspected collaberator to his ass. Like eddie is tied to his.
Why would anyone take the stick comment as anything other than slightly amusing?
