….absolutely nothing besides ungratefulness:
Muhammas Hussein was waiting for his nephew Fayez, who has been jailed for five years. “It’s hard to say we are happy,” he said. “It’s true we are satisfied with Fayez’s release, but it’s hard to say that this move is even a drop in the sea, because it’s much less.
“What are 200 prisoners out of more than 10,000? I don’t know how they can talk about a gesture? What gesture? Where is the gesture?”
This is exactly why peace negotiations are describe as far from possible.
Did I mention that two of the Palestinian men released today were serving life sentences for murder?
Said al-Atba was convicted for his part in a 1977 explosion in Petah Tikva’s market that killed Russian immigrant Tzila Galili, 54, who had made aliya four years earlier. The longest-held Palestinian prisoner, Atba had been convicted of bomb-making, planting explosives, illegal military training and membership in a illegal organization.
Muhammad Abu Ali had been jailed for life for the fatal shooting of 20-year-old yeshiva student Joshua Saloma, a newly arrived Danish immigrant, in Hebron in 1980. He was later convicted of killing a Palestinian in jail whom he had accused of collaborating with Israel.
I can’t see how any of the prisioner releases will be worthwhile in the end. As long as Hamas is in control of Palestine, peace negotians will never conclude and Olmert will continue to go down in history as the most damning Israeli Prime Minister ever.

Aw crap.. there goes the neighborhood… well there it goes again or something. That sucks… I don't get why the murderers get to go free?? Now to endanger any perceived "collaborators" ugh.
Also, randomly thought of your pithy wesite when an adorable Jewish Princess was bending her ear to listen to my hubby and I conversing about a friend whose fam lives in Golan Heights and other things… it was funny cuz this chic musta been surprised or something. Then again Rob and I aren't conventional folks… I'd kinda rather kick these dudes in the knee caps with steel heels.
The exchange wasn't even for their soldiers in return or like a day of peace or something? Free hummus?
