prisoners swap

About 10,000 other Palestinian terrorists remain in Israeli jails. Israeli move is meant to thank Abbas for disarming Palestinian militias. PFLP denies Abu Mazen’s claim that its fighters turned in their weapons.

Pardons department announced that at least 17% of earlier released terrorists return to terrorism. Shin-Bet security service routinely provides much higher estimates.
Israeli government releases 250 Fatah terrorists to help Abbas.

Almagor filed a petition with Israeli High Court asserting that government overstepped its limits of power by pardoning the terrorists duly sentenced by Israeli courts.
Other released terrorists murdered or abetted the murder of 177 Israelis in the last seven years.
Parole Board refused parole to Yona Avrushmi, sentenced in 1983 for merely killing a Peace Now activist.

One terrorist scheduled for release will stay in Israeli jail because he has switched from Tanzim to Hamas. Tanzim is way more militant than Hamas and its leader Barghouti stays in Israeli jail. Israel released Tanzim terrorists and refused to release Hamas’s.
Government plans to release more terrorists.

Hezbollah rejected Israeli idiotic offer of swapping hundreds of convicted Arab terrorists for the two kidnapped IDF soldiers. Hezbollah refused to offer sign of life proof – an unreasonable move if both soldiers are alive.

The kidnapping group, PRC recently sprout political wing and will take part in the next Palestinian elections, adding to the Abbas’ rack of moderates.

Israeli government will release another one hundred Palestinian gangsters in a goodwill gesture. Only heinous criminals serving long sentences will be let loose. No Palestinian group stopped terrorist attacks against Jews.

IDF ceased pursuit of hundreds of Palestinian terrorist fugitives in return for their promise to stop attacking Israel. Abbas paid them with Israeli money to surrender weapons. Even though the bonus far exceeded the market price of automatic rifles, most did not surrender their weapons. According to IDF, “many” of the pardoned fugitives ceased terrorist activity. In Israeli parlance, that means that most pardoned terrorists remain active.
Israel supplied Fatah gang with thousands of rifles, but Fatah doesn’t confront Hamas even in the West Bank.

Israeli government congratulated Jewish victims of terrorist attacks with Yom Kippur by releasing 90 Palestinian terrorists. Abbas subsequently declared that no peace is possible with Israel while she holds thousands more of his terrorists in jails.

In Palestine, Abbas has to adopt right-wing stance in order to compete with popular Hamas.
Israel refused Palestinian demands of exchanging more than a thousand terrorists for kidnapped Cpl.Shalit, but released and pardoned almost 500 terrorists by now without exchange.

Formally “without blood on their hands,” all of them attempted murder or were accomplices to murder of Jews.

Ben Eliezer imagines that Barghouti’s release will prompt Palestinians to release kidnapped Cpl. Shalit. Even if it were true, the exchage is not worthwhile given Barghouti’s high stance. Barghouti retained high credibility among Palestinians because Israeli jail prevents him from corruption. Abbas will confront Barghouti who can challenge his leadership. Strategically, Barghouti will strengthen Fatah while Israel needs stronger Hamas which will end the defeatist peace process.

Israel president Peres froze the release of 29 Palestinian terrorists, a goodwill gesture by Olmert’s government. Perhaps the Arabs didn’t pay Peres enough. Normally Shimon Peres pushes for concessions to Arab enemies.
Meanwhile, IDF chief of staff Ashkenazi protests release of Palestinian terrorists while Cpl.Shalit remains kidnapped. Would the release of hundreds of hardcore Palestinian terrorists be more ethical if Dughmush clan releases a single Israeli corporal?

Egyptian newspaper Al Hayat reports that Israeli government abandoned the exchange of more than a thousand jailed terrorists for a single Israeli corporal five months ago.

Hamas arrested 400 of Fatah gangsters and loyalists in Gaza. Israeli government announced the plans for releasing 400 PLO-Fatah terrorists from Israeli jails.

The list of the PLO-Fatah terrorists Israel pardoned in July includes the leader of Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade in Jenin, major terrorist cell that continues operating against Israel.

The release is a goodwill gesture, nothing expected in return. IDF soldiers risk their lives daily arresting similar terrorists.

Israeli government releases another 429 Palestinian terrorists as a goodwill gesture. Majority of the released terrorists immediately return to the only occupation the know: terrorism. The retarded Israeli government requires the released Palestinian terrorists to sign a declaration promising to never-never engage in terrorism again.
Israeli public has previously opposed the unequal prisoner swaps. Israeli government gave in: no more swaps, just unilateral releases of Palestinian terrorists.

Chiefs of IDF, Shabak object to the planned government decision to soften the criteria for prisoners “with blood on their hands.” Israeli government is ready to release all terrorists with not a lot of cheap Jewish blood on their hands.

Vilnai announced Barghouti will be among the hundreds of Palestinian terrorist prisoners to be swapped for the Cpl Shalit. Mubarak called Barghouti, the leader of murderous Tanzim, the worst man in Arafat’s entourage.

Israeli government, media grew hysterical in the recent days over Hezbollah’s claim of holding partial remains of a single Israeli soldier. A sensible person won’t understand what’s the big deal: okay, let Hezbollah enjoy the remains. Israeli government is desperate to conclude a prisoners swap with Hezbollah to get one to three Israeli MIA’s for at least 1,400 of Arab terrorists.
