One Israeli soldier is worth 477 Palestinian terrorists!
As I said on another thread, the Israelis are saying that they will release hundreds of murderers who will perform more murders of Israelis in the future in exchange for the release of one Israeli. The Palestinians see weakness on the part of the Israelis, are taking advantage of said Israeli weakness, and celebrating it. As the Palestinians see it, if your enemy is willing to do something monumentally stupid, why would you not take advantage of it?
Of course the Palestinians will happily go with the concept that one Israeli is worth one thousand Palestinians, that will maximize the effect of taking one Israeli hostage. And the hunt for the next Israeli hostages will begin as soon as Shalit is released.
“And the hunt for the next Israeli hostages will begin as soon as Shalit is released.”
I heard a report that the released palestinians were greeted with crowds calling for finding another Shalit.
I’m sure Netanyahu isn’t surprised by that.
