Too steep plus Hamas did not commit to stop kidnapping prisoners.
A really bad, stupid move by the Israelis. They must have gotten their advice from Hillary and Holder.
It is amazing the suicidal depths to which the Israelis sometimes sink in order to pander to stupidity.
Objectively and logically, I disapprove of the swap. Emotionally, however, its hard to argue with seeing that poor kid freed. Its a tough one.
Get our guy back, then carpet bomb every hamas enclave. They have proven time and time again that they are less than human.
Way back when, Rome had a policy that if you attacked a roman citizen Rome would destroy your city. Everyone feared Rome and Roman citizens were free to go wherever they wanted in safety.
We need to start implementing that policy. The moslem savages (but I repeat myself) only understand fear. We must make them fear us again.
If they prize being martyrs than we should martyr as many of them as possible, as quickly as possible. If it is genocide to kill every adherent of a political-religious system, then lets do genocide!
More Israeli families will be mourning because of these releases. Also, this is more evidence that prisoners that are given life sentences under existing law should be executed instead. If the crime is such that incarceration forever is appropriate, the state should not create prizes to be released by future terrorist acts.
The worlds sane population has to see that a people that would accept these terrorists back in their presence is not a people that should have a State or a country to lead.
How can the UN take seriously an effort by these low lifes to become a state when they want 1,000 murderers and killers back in their own country.
What does it say to the families of the murdered and mutilated victims of these savages, when the government makes such a deal and lets them go?
Its’ a bit like cutting a cancer from a patient and then deciding to put it back.The cancer goes back and grows.
Should Hamas or Fatah, or the so called Palestinians who welcome back trash like this be a nation? A state?
It’s ludicrous to even ponder.
How many of the released Palestinians are Israeli agents?
I hate to second guess why this lop sided exchange was made. I do wonder, however, in light of the escalating hatred and threats towards Israel in the middle east if it was a logical move. If rockets start flying, the best place for the 1000 terrorists to be is under them in their terrorist homeland.
Trading 1000 cut-throats for 1 captured soldier is the kind of deal made by leaders with too little testosterone. Saving 1 soldier now will cost 10’s of Israeli lives later. I swear the world is run by the insane.
If I were a Palestinian, I’d be embarrassed to have one Jew worth 1,000 Palestinians. And I thought our inflation was bad.......
just give each prisoner a “health screening” right before releasing them. insert some explosives where they cant get them out along with a remote detonator. When they are being debriefed by their bosses, push the green button!
Israel should have been killing ten of the captured terrorists a day until Shalit was released.
