1. How long B4 they shed Jewish Blood again
(01.01.14)
2. If Y.Amir was an arab...Release him too? !
Roland ,   London England   (01.01.14)
Blood is different isn't it.We are good to others,but cruel tour own re. justice .Why ? somebody justify his detention for me for I cannot fathom it out,when we have so many arab criminals released,and the Government has not given a clear reason for the murderers among them being released.
3. Bibi expected 2make difficult decisions NOT stupid decisions
Josh ,   Brooklyn   (01.01.14)
Bibi get back to Torah because without Torah one cannot expect to make intelligent decisions.
4. Bibi again sends mixed message by release
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & NYC   (01.01.14)
On Sunday it was announced that Bibi told Kerry that Israeli-Arabs would not be included in prisoner release, but that they might be in exchange for Pollard. The next day they release 5 Israeli-Arabs. This is almost as bad as Obama for killing credibility in the peace talks.
5. read this article Netanyahu
(01.01.14)
cue violins: Mahmoud said "The day I was arrested I left behind very young children. Now I return and see that most of them have already wed. It was overwhelming to hug them and my grandchildren for the first time". Sara Sharon z"l daughter of Moshe and Esther Zanetti, 38 years old when she died, will never see her 7 children orphaned at a young age, and none of the grandchildren will ever know their grandmother. On January 20, 1993, Sara z"l was minding her own business in Holon while Mahmoud happily left his children on purpose to stab Sarah z"l together with his two henchmen. I hope Netanyahu reads this article and his heart burns.
6. Disgusting !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (01.01.14)
Israel is not a Justice State since the Government stands above the Law. Murderers should be put to death. Arn.Sweden.
7. The only culture in the world
david ,   israel   (01.01.14)
That celebrates the release of convicted murderers
8. in the name of peace and also wars....
Calibi ,   Sydney Aust   (01.01.14)
In formality and hopefully there is peace but I doubt so. But in gesture and truth Israel have to give one step backward to prove her sincerity! A painful choice.... well........ultimately if Arabs dealing are base on Roman standards (AD 70) GOD HIMSELF will resort to wars and inspire Israel to fight. I believe GOD will prevail for Israel. May He be THE GREAT AMEN!
9. #7 don't gloat
(01.01.14)
Ours is the only culture in the world that releases those who murder children, mothers, holocaust survivors and senior citizens. I think they are far superior to us.
10. Mr.Mahmoud
(01.01.14)
Murdered a mother of 7,brutally murdered her, beat her, and then slit her throat. Mrs.Sadeh will never get to see her children,or grandchildren, and they will never get to see her like unlike her murderer who got a big heroes welcome home and will get to have a life with his children and grandchildren. And he got this all courtesy of the Israeli government.
11. Death penalty needed for terrorists
Ben S ,   USA   (01.01.14)
Convicted terrorist murderers should receive the death penalty. Israel would not be in this position now.
12. not good enough .... seems it is never good enough
Arnold-Canada ,   Montreal   (01.01.14)
There is a big surprise facing the Israeli negotiating team. As soon as all the prisoners are released all of a sudden the Palestinian side will walk away from the table. This will all be seen as a ruse to get the prisoners released.
13. ..and if all murderers are freed, there will be Peace?
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (01.01.14)
14. If all muderers are relaeased it will decrease Peace chances
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (01.01.14)
15. 12
jonathan ,   adelaide/Israel   (01.01.14)
Actually Abbas wants ALL prisoners released-he has promised that to his people.If Israel is stupid enough to release hundreds then why not thousands.After all he holds the upper hand not Bibi.The peace process was supposed to be without preconditions-and look how Bibi caved in.Why? Because US/Kerry say so.At present Israel does not have a Strong Jewish leader who know how to deal with Arafats thugs.Great tragedy for the Jewish people in Israel.
16. talks are futile, period
CJK   (01.02.14)
they only fuel further animosity. but whatever obama wants, obama gets, within reason. he will not get an arab palestinian state, no matter what.
17. Freedom fighters
Ahmad ,   UK   (01.02.14)
Does not matter what you call them, they are heroes, until you changed your mentality and accept the others and recognise the basic rights of the Palestinians you will live in peace, Palestinian children are killed by Israeli forces and settlers daily since decades. Its Palestine and for the next generations this will be teaching , if you don't like it go back where you come from and if you where born there ask your dad or grand dad where he came from they will till you, its always nice to know our roots, i know jews lived in Palestine for A PERIOD OF TIME 3000 years ago thats always the answer ! does not matter
