Another fella told me/he had a sister who looked just fine/instead of being my deliverance/she had a strange resemblance/to a cat named Frankenstein....
Apologies to the late, great Sam Cooke

An unsuccessful suicide bomber released from prison as part of the deal to free Gilad Shalit, the Israeli conscript, on Wednesday vowed to fulfil a childhood ambition by "sacrificing" her life for the Palestinian cause. As she returned to her family home in northern Gaza, Wafa al-Bis insisted she would seize any opportunity to mount another suicide mission and encouraged dozens of cheering schoolchildren to follow her example.
Bis was one of hundreds of Palestinian militants freed by Israel on Tuesday in the first phase of a prisoner swap agreed with Hamas, Gaza’s Islamist overlords, to win the freedom of Sgt Maj Shalit after five years in solitary confinement.
Her words will chill critics of the deal who argue that many of the 1,027 Palestinians who are to be released from prison will return to violence once they have been freed. For most Israelis, such fears have been consigned to the future as an anxious nation watched to see how the 25-year-old conscript was faring on his first full day at home in Mitzpe Hila, his home village in the hills above the Sea of Galilee.

She’ll have her opportunity to die, no doubt.
I really don’t understand why they would trade 1000 homicidal maniacs thugs for 1 guy.
“ambition by “sacrificing” her life for the Palestinian cause.” Help her out and give her a can of gasoline and a match.
I’d love to see interviews from Shalit on this subject. Somehow, I don’t feel he would approve of his life being exchanged for untold lives of Jewish innocents who will die or be taken hostage.
At least we now know the exchange rate. The Palis think they are worth ~1000x less than Israelis.
