An alliance of evil?

In this news report, note the shift in tone of the reporting... sometimes perplexed and sometimes downright accusatory. With an unprompted, unabashed confession of guilt – referring to three teenagers as settlers and their kidnap as well as subsequent murder as an heroic operation – one Hamas spokesperson has single-handedly forfeited much of the sympathy and support that Hamas had accrued over the course of the current war. This is not to say that Israel has been or will be widely forgiven for its savage slaughter of innocent civilians. But Hamas has now freely admitted that it was their own savagery that prompted the Israeli response. The only persons likely to appreciate the Hamas announcement, coming on the back of some ruthless, public executions of Palestinians suspected of collaboration with Israel, are the members or supporters of ISIS and Boko Haram. Could this be the beginning of an alliance?

Some sources don't even argue about the alliance of Hamas and the islamic State (IS). Israeli officials make no distinctions between the two. One also finds evidence that the U.S provided weapons to ISIS in their fight against the Shias in Iraq, with the purpose of splitting the country into three ( a British war tactic), Now, of course, they provide weapons to the opposition. The savage executions are brutal and horrifying, no doubt, but they are not the first in History to execute collaborators. for example, the execution of Meir Tobiansky in the 1948 war in a " field court martial", He was accused of espionage, executed with no judges etc...later on found he was not guilty.
the western civilized countries use targeted killing and liquidation as something more humane..well, It is not public.
