Jews can and do impose the death penalty on any Jew who collaborates with their enemies - it is a matter of legal jurisprudence in Judaism that anyone who collaborates with the enemies of Judaism should be murdered:
According to Rabbi Steinsaltz, "The Essential Talmud" (1992):
"Anyone bearing tales against others [Jews} to the alien authorities - even if his evidence pertains to civil law, and even more so if a capital offense is involved - places himself outside the law by his action, and members of the community are permitted and even encouraged to kill him. Even when the death penalty was abolished in certain communities, informers were still sentenced to death. It is interesting to note that in medieval Spain the Jewish courts sentenced Jewish informers, but the sentence was carried out by the Spanish authorities, despite the fact that the informer had been acting on the latter's behalf. The courts continued to judge informers in this severe manner throughout the centuries, and informers have received death sentences within living memory in Soviet Russia and Nazi-occupied territories." (pp 173-174)
