Comments on: Israeli government agonizes over prisoner release http://samsonblinded.org/news/israeli-government-agonizes-over-prisoner-release-15335 Breaking Israeli News from the Jewish perspective: Israel, the world, Arabs, war, and dirty politics Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:54:33 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Zhann http://samsonblinded.org/news/israeli-government-agonizes-over-prisoner-release-15335/comment-page-1#comment-3595 Zhann Tue, 22 Dec 2009 13:56:34 +0000 http://samsonblinded.org/news/?p=15335#comment-3595 It is difficult to comprehend what Israel is thinking. On the one hand, they have no problem destroying Palestinian territories with complete disregard for civilian life (yes, civilian is a relative term), but to release upwards of 1000 prisoners for a single soldier? This is ridiculous. What would be an interesting response is a public execution of the people requested for by Hamas, since obviously these men hold some importance to Hamas or their constituents. If such a response became common, these prisoner exchange lists would disappear fast. What ever happened with the rule, "We don't negotiate with terrorists"?
