31. Palestinian Mom: My son is a filthy murderer
Alon   (03.31.14)
A walking monster, but Bibi promised to let him out so he should be ashamed. Me, I'm proud to see my child carry on in our primitive and inhuman culture.
32. 24
y Allon ,   adelaide/Israel   (03.31.14)
Actually I hope that there is an intifada and a serious one too-then we can get rid of all the vermin and send them packing to Jordan.Nothing short of war will free Israel of terrorists.
33. Blame Kerry, UN, EU
Ed ,   USA   (03.31.14)
Is this surprising? The Palestinians have been indirectly encouraged toward violence by Kerry's threat that there would be violence if the talks failed, by the UNHRC's repeated one-sided condemnations of Israel (which bear no relation to facts), and by continued financial support and "encouragement" (toward intransigence) by the EU.
34. To 9
Barney ,   USA   (03.31.14)
It is not so easy as you think. However, my financial support and everything else I can do goes to support Israel. Support for Israel from the diaspora is important. It will grow stronger from Jews and Christians as reality of the Arab mentality sinks in
35. Time to transfer all Arabs back to
Barney ,   USA   (03.31.14)
Arabian lands. The peace charade is beyond belief. Bite the bullet and move them back to where they belong. Oh and by the way those other Arab countries don't want them either
36. Sounds reasonable.........
Jacob E ,   Holon, Israel   (03.31.14)
The terrorists are threatening to commit terror attacks if we don't release terrorists from prison who may or may not commit terror attacks when they are released. And even if we do release them there's no guarantee any of them won't just commit a terror attack anyways.
37. Tfadal Anti-fada. Opportunity to return all Arabs top Mecca.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (03.31.14)
38. 3rd intifada
RK ,   Eilat, Israel   (03.31.14)
I do hope Arraba is on the schedule to be swapped for other land when we do conclude a treaty with the Palis. Maybe "Ghandi" was right vis-a-vis transfer.
39. Concessions come back to haunt you
larry ,   Northridge, usa   (03.31.14)
Its amazing that whenever Isreal even considers reciprocal concessions, they become written in stone regardless of whether the palestinians renege on their obligations under the agreement. The palestinians now threaten intifada ,even though they havent lived up to their promises that are supposed to bring about the releases. If Netenyahu releases this last bunch of murderers, he should be voted out of office. I note how the mother of one murderous palestinian prisoner is actually indignant because her murderer son may have to continue serving his sentence. Israel is doomed unless it can change its mindset and resist the threats. Let the palis have their intifada, and make them regret that decision.
40. Why?
Larry ,   Northridge, usa   (03.31.14)
I wrote my last comment on this article before I read the others and realized I was just repeating what everyone else thought( except that nut bernassi). This raises the question; since everyone in Israel seems against the release of prisoners or any other concessions, why cant you exert pressure on your government to listen to its citizens. We dont have a parliamentary system in the U.S., but dont you have votes of no confidence or something approximating Our impeachment?
41. Time to sell our flats &property and get out! Oy vey! We are
tom ,   tel aviv   (03.31.14)
not used to Arab violence, what will we do if they start shooting? Mamma Mia!!!!!
42. ON WHAT GROUNDS SHOULD THEY BE RELEASED
zionist forever   (03.31.14)
These prisoner releases were supposed to take place in exchange for Abbas agreeing to take part in peace talks. Abbas has already announced he has no intention to continue talks beyond the April 29 deadline so if he is not going to agree to talk then whats the point of going him a reward? Certainly we should not be releasing the Israeli arabs he demands. Abbas rules over his own criminals not the ones in Israel sentenced by Israeli civilian courts. The Kerry talks have been a complete joke from the start and if Abbas doesn't want to talk let him just don't reward him for sitting on his backside making demands and offering nothing in exchange.
43. Ooooh!
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.31.14)
I am so scared! Bring it on. Watch what happens. Don't these people EVER learn ANYTHING?
44. perfect timing to introduce death penalty for those whose a
ralph   (03.31.14)
actions resulted in israeli deaths.
45. #40
Robert Haymond ,   Teko'a, Israel   (03.31.14)
You pose a serious question. The left in Israel wants peace at any price. The middle and right of centre do not believe in themselves and in Israel's right to exist. So they allow themselves to be humiliated and the Israeli citizens to be shamed. Only now, with the advent of a strong Jewish Home and dissenters within Likud are we coming to realize that the more we give in (in order to make some fictitious peace) and the more we allow the USA to call the shots the more we lose our identity as Jewish citizens of Israel and the more we become enslaved to the USA. But I assure you, we are working our way out of these traps, the one of foreign dependency and the other of lack of identity. At present, the public's reaction to prisoner release has become increasingly opposed, strongly so!
46. Prisoner Exchange
Aisha Deck ,   Seattle, USA   (03.31.14)
Muslim criminals SHOULD NEVER be imprisoned. They should be executed. Muslims are raised as children to have no conscience. There is no redemption for criminals with no conscience. They should routinely executed. End of problem!
