So the worst you could find is a story from 2007 where Hamas killed five collaborators?

Not to mention that it was in the context of a coup attempt against democratically elected Hamas.

Fatah decided to betray its own people. In the West Bank it is helping Israel to oppress their own people and actively fights against Palestinian resistance.

Hamas works perfectly well together with all Palestinian resistance groups from Islamic Jihad to secular ones like the PFLP.

Does Israel also force Hamas and PA to violently suppress dissent too?

The Palestinian Authority is Fatah and yes they are forced by Israel to suppress dissent.

As for Hamas

> Human Rights Watch met with the Palestinian Authority Intelligence Services in Ramallah, but was unable to accept an offer from Hamas authorities to meet in Gaza because Israel refused to grant permits for senior Human Rights Watch officials to enter the Gaza Strip for this purpose. Israeli authorities also rejected Human Rights Watch’s request for senior representatives to enter Gaza during October 2018 to present this report at a news conference.
