Palestinians leave Ketziot prison in the South to their release. (AP)

Don't expect any thanks from Arafat/Abbas or Hamas. All they'll do is bi*ch bi*ch bi*ch that it's not enough. Should be amusing to see these brain dead Jihadis repeat their mantra for the umpteenth time

We'll have to wait to find out the recidivism ratio...

THIS JUST IN: In Gaza, a new generation of Palestinians
financially and materially supported by another $26,000,000 by President Bush
here this week idolizes Saddam and his dead sons, as they mourn the terrorists deaths.
All Palestinians mourn America's triumph in Iraq,
even as they cheered the 911 Atrocities which murdered thousands of innocent Americans.
Will history repeat itself? Probably because
several branches of Palestinians promise to use all money obtained
to further murder more Israelis, Jews, Christians and Americans
along their "Road Map (against America and the Free World)".

Security sources said the 339 Palestinians to be released include 182 security prisoners currently serving their terms and 157 administrative detainees. The list includes one woman. Security officials insisted none were involved in lethal attacks on Israelis.

It sounds like no actual terrorists are being released. Certainly the IDF will be watching to see if any of these 339 people are re-arrested, and if they are the "later date" for the 99 will be pushed back.

It's interesting that the IDF is worried about attacks on the convoys by Israelis.

Each prisoner will be obligated to sign a form promising not to be involved in any further terrorist activity against Israel.

Is this like the form high school athletes sign saying they won't drink any alcohol? Because we all know, those are very effective. /sarcasm

I'm sure the White House is "just shy of giddy" this morning.

OF COURSE...this is not enough and Israel must do more! /sarcasm off

[veronica]

I am so relieved to see them all flashing the peace sign. I am sure they are all nice boys and that their incaceration was a big misundestanding. /sarcasm

[Sir Gawain]

I wonder what we would say to Israel if they told us to release our prisoners from Al Qaeda.

[Mr. Mojo]

The vast majority of these (339) terrorists will soon be either strapping on homicide belts or in other ways assisting the ongoing Jihad against Israel. They'll probably end up being responsible for at least 1000 additional Israeli deaths. ....Well actually, the responsible parties are the ones who released them while having full knowledge of this.

[lilylangtree]

Too bad the IDF did put sensors under these pali terrorists unbeknownst to them to track their a**es. araRAT and Abbas will not be happy until they get all their murderous buddies released which I hope Israel will not do except in body bags.

[M 91 u2 K]

Thanks you George Bush the blood of countless Israelis and Americans are on your hands. Hope you enjoy your landslide victory in 2004 so you can continue aiding the destruction of America and Israel.

Israel begins release of 339 Palestinian prisoners
