Palestinians ask Red Cross to help release terroristsThousands gather before Red Cross office in Gaza Israel to Hamas: kidnap our soldiersSwapping hundreds of terrorist prisoners for corporal Shalit sends clear message to Hamas which stated today, “kidnapping soldiers and exchanging them for prisoners is the best solution for releasing our heroes”. Hamas demands return of Fatah leader Barghouti in exchange for ShalitTwo factions appear not so rival. Moderate Fatah profits from Shalit’s kidnapping. Stalin famously rejected German offer to exchange his POW son for Friedrich Paulus, saying he won’t exchange lieutenant for a general. IDF attempts arresting two Al Aqsa operatives, kills them “in gunfight”In the wake of prisoners’ exchange, arresting two more was not feasible Members of Terror Victims Association boycott national ceremony to protest prisoners’ releaseStudy by the Almagdor association shows that earlier released Arab prisoners killed 177 Jews in the last five years. Israel is close to prisoners swap with HezbollahAccording to al-Itahad newspaper, Israel will release Hezbollah’s security prisoners, including convicted terrorists. A thousand terrorists is too little for moderate FatahEgyptian mediators will push the Palestinian government to swap Cpl. Gilad Shalit for a thousand of Arab terrorists. Israel is set to release BarghoutiWith the recent poll indicating that Fatah will score 59% with Marwan Barghouti while 49% with Abu Mazen in early elections, Israel is hard pressed to release the convicted terrorist. Shimon Peres will press to pardon Barghouti and include him, among hundreds of other terrorists, in prisoners swap for a single Jew, Gilad Shalit. Back to jail: IDF arrests Izzadin Kassam founder in RamallahSaleh Aruri left Israeli jail just months ago after serving 15-year sentence. Israel rejects Hamas’ demands for prisoners’ swap, will release terrorists unilaterallyFacing the Palestinian refusal to accept a prisoners’ swap which doesn’t include high-value terrorists, Olmert announced unilateral pardon of 250 convicted Palestinian terrorists. High Court tests prisoners’ exchangeMother of Pinhas Levy, murdered in Jordan Valley, appeals the Israeli government’s decision to transfer his murderers to Jordan. Israel lacks innocent Palestinian prisonersOlmert’s government didn’t yet approve a unilateral release of 250 jailed Palestinian terrorists “without blood on their hands,” as Olmert promised to Egypt’s Mubarak, because it cannot find enough of them. Olmert intends to release Palestinians who are not murderers and served long jail time – an unlikely match. Olmert found 250 reformed Arab prisonersOlmert announced the unilateral release of Palestinian prisoners as a gesture of goodwill toward Fatah. Fatah criticizes the list as containing the Arab prisoners whose sentences are soon to expire, anyway. Government claims the release of Jordanian terrorists an extraditionIsraeli government opposes the petition by mother of one of the Jews killed by the Jordanian terrorists soon to be released from Israeli jail to Jordan. Terrorism, however, is not crime but an act of war, and no country extradites terrorists to their welcoming homeland. Prisoners release won’t hurt. Maybe.Kadima and Labor voted to release 250 of would-be Arab terrorists held in Israeli jails. The terrorists “lack blood on their hands” – a condition of the release – mostly because Shin-Bet and the IDF cuaght them before they managed to kill Jews. Olmert asserted that prisoners’ release wouldn’t diminish the chances of rendering the kidnapped IDF’s soldiers. Shin-Bet’s Avi Dichter muttered that no prisoners’ release ever helped Israel. Traditionally, the released terrorists are welcomed back to Palestine as heroes and return to the ranks of acting terrorists. Olmert hopes to build goodwill with terroristsIsraeli PM claims the release of 250 convicted Arab terrorists will expedite the release of captured Israeli soldiers. Historically, Arabs never reciprocated Israeli gestures. Hamas demands rewards for all of Shalit’s kidnappersHamas rejected the Israeli list of Arab prisoners to be released in exchange for Shalit because the list includes no members of Popular Resistance Committees which also participated in the kidnapping and are entitled to its fruits. Peace process is not Olmert’s top priorityOlmert reschedules the meeting with Egyptian, Jordanian foreign ministers. Olmert, an acute politician, realizes the discussion is worthless, but conducts it for the world’s media and his American sponsors. Israeli government released 250 terrorost prisoners as a welcome for the Arab League delegation which did not arrive. Killing Hamas is more important than killing JewsIsraeli government confirmed Palestinian report about Israeli ceasing hunting 178 wanted Fatah terrorists to free their hands to fight Hamas. Since fighting Hamas is dangerous, Palestinian terrorists will actually continue murdering Jews to liberate Arab homeland. |
