AMERICAN SOCIETY alestinian politics in the West Bank and Gaza Strip is a sinister, brutal and mer- ciless affair. Behind the highly polished sophistication of Hanan Ashrawi and other articu- late Palestinian advocates who have been thrown up by the peace process is a kingdom of fear ruled by armed political gangs with names like Black Panthers and Red Eagles. The business of these small knots of violent ex- tremists is death. For them, life is a commodity to be disposed of arbitrarily and capriciously, the price to be paid for being a Jew — or a Palestinian who is perceived to be a political or personal enemy. The days of stone- throwing, mass demonstra- tions and riotous confronta- tions with the Israeli securi- ty forces which marked the early phase of the intifada have been replaced by these small groups of armed Pales- tinians who coldly plot their "surgical strikes." Symptomatic of the trend is a spate of random attacks on unarmed Jews, culminating this week in the killing of 15-year-old schoolgirl Helena Rapp, an event which convulsed Israeli society and produced an outburst of anti-Arab violence . Symptomatic, too, is the rash of killings by Palestin- ian extremists of fellow- Palestinians, allegedly collaborators, who are often subjected to the most gruesome forms of torture before being executed in public, a deterrent to others who might someday con- template dissent. Since the start of the in- tifada, some 900 Palestin- ians have been killed in clashes with Israeli security forces, while a further 450 have been killed by fellow Arabs. In the past 15 mon- ths, however, far more Pa- lestinians have been killed by fellow-Palestinians than by Israeli security forces.

Four Israeli soldiers were killed during this period. In fact, the overwhelming majority of Palestinian-on- Palestinian killings have been motivated by political, religious or even personal rivalries rather than col- laboration, which carries the implication that victims had passed information to the Israeli authorities which could harm the Palestinian cause. Cells of armed terrorist groups comprise members of Fatah, supposedly loyal to PLO leader Yassir Arafat, and three other movements which oppose the peace pro- cess — the fundamentalist Hamas movement, the Pop- ular Front for the Liberation 0 The days of stone-throwing have been replaced by "surgical strikes." of Palestine and the Dem- ocratic Front for the Libera- tion of Palestine. While inciting and organi- zing attacks on individual Israelis, hit-squads operate primarily against "collaborators" and other perceived Palestinian enemies, despite calls by Arafat to halt the wave of in- tra-Palestinian killings. Their leaders, a senior Israeli military source told me this week, have taken it upon themselves to decide who will live and who will die, as well as when and how executions are conducted. "They are," he said, "very tough, very cool and very c--) experienced. Often, it is 16- or 17-year-olds who decide who is a 'collaborator,' and often it is simply a matter of settling personal feuds or po- litical rivalries." Moreover, the definition of a "collaborator," said the source, is extremely wide and varies from one group to another. For Hamas, it is enough if a man drinks alcohol or a women dresses "immodest- ly." For the political extremists, "collaboration" C 1 could mean almost any con- tact with the Israeli au- 0 -
