Hamas continues to execute its own subjects

It's not just people suspected of collaborating with Israeli authorities that the Hamas is murdering. It's also looters:
Hamas has executed several individuals accused of looting as part of a harsh crackdown amid growing lawlessness in Gaza, according to sources close to the group, Reuters reported.

A wave of violence this week allegedly saw armed gangs raiding food stores and community kitchens, highlighting the breakdown of civil order under Hamas' rule. Hamas claims that some of those targeted were collaborating with Israel—an allegation not independently verified and not addressed by Israeli authorities. [...]

Ismail Al-Thawabta, spokesperson for Hamas' media office, said executions had been carried out against individuals allegedly involved in looting. He further claimed, without evidence, that some of these individuals had backing from Israel, a narrative often used by the group to justify its crackdowns.

To tighten control, Hamas has imposed nightly curfews and mobilized a 5,000-member force to target looters and dissenters. However, Israeli drone operations have reportedly hampered the group’s efforts, particularly when armed personnel are detected.
And all the while, anti-Israelists vehemently refuse to acknowledge any of these serious issues. The double-standards at work are utterly repugnant.
