1. "Um Abdullah"
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.08.13)
Helluva name, that -- "Abdullah's mother" -- gave birth to a monster who will never be released from prison. Ever.
2. Prisoners
Get Real ,   UK   (05.08.13)
Perhaps Jordan does not want them back. What would Israel get in return for the release of prisoners? Release always encourages other terrorists knowing that they too may well be freed if imprisoned for their actions
3. Murderers in Israeli jails
Abu Yousuf el Dugri   (05.08.13)
Will not get free ever. if they think they can kill and then get hunger strike and get freedom just forget it, let these crap rot in jail for ever inshallah!!!
4. Let them starve
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (05.08.13)
We won't make anybody eat. If they die, that is their choice
5. 67 life sentences??
Tom ,   TA   (05.08.13)
why not bring back the capital punishment instead of 67 life sentences???? These people have killed INNOCENT children should not live. The rest of prisoners who are not directly involved in murdering incconets should be released j to Iraq or Syria or Saudi Arabia.
6. Let the terrorists rot in jail
ACortez ,   CA, USA   (05.09.13)
Then level the golden dome and rebuild the temple that belongs there. See how these terrorists behave then...

Israel does have the death penalty, but for two crimes only: Nazi war crimes and the crime of treason. I agree that terrorism could be a capital crime, but given the number of Arab terrorists, the hangman would be the busiest person in all of Israel. I have a pretty good idea of what the international reaction would be, despite the fact that those countries who do have capital punishment apply it to terrorism. I would not object to life imprisonment -- but no prisoner swaps, no compassionate early releases for the terminally ill and if someone wishes to launch himself on a hunger strike -- go right ahead.
