Concerning the killing of Palestinians by other Palestinians, a January 2003 ''The Humanist'' magazine article reports:<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thehumanist.org/humanist/articles/waakjf03.htm |title=Violence among the Palestinians |author=Erika Waak |work=The Humanist |publisher=[[American Humanist Association]] |date=January–February 2003 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030211052937/http://www.thehumanist.org/humanist/articles/waakjf03.htm |archive-date=11 February 2003}}</ref>

{{quote|For over a decade the PA has violated Palestinian human rights and civil liberties by routinely killing civilians—including collaborators, demonstrators, journalists, and others—without charge or fair trial. Of the total number of Palestinian civilians killed during this period by both Israeli and Palestinian security forces, 16 percent were the victims of Palestinian security forces.

... According to [[Freedom House]]'s annual survey of political rights and civil liberties, ''Freedom in the World 2001–2002'', the chaotic nature of the Intifada along with strong Israeli reprisals has resulted in a deterioration of living conditions for Palestinians in Israeli-administered areas. The survey states:

Civil liberties declined due to: shooting deaths of Palestinian civilians by Palestinian security personnel; the summary trial and executions of alleged collaborators by the Palestinian Authority (PA); extra-judicial killings of suspected collaborators by militias; and the apparent official encouragement of Palestinian youth to confront Israeli soldiers, thus placing them directly in harm's way.}}

Internal Palestinian violence has been called an ''{{'}}Intra'fada'' during this Intifada and the previous one.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.phrmg.org/intrafada.htm |title=The {{'}}Intra'fada or 'the chaos of the weapons': An Analysis of Internal Palestinian Violence |author=Leonie Schultens |date=April 2004 |work=The Palestinian Human Rights Monitor |publisher=[[Palestinian Human Rights Monitoring Group]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040606055755/http://www.phrmg.org/intrafada.htm |archive-date=6 June 2004}}</ref>
