sentenced to five life terms.

5. No to releasing this murderer--ever
alan ,   frisco   (04.08.07)
Think of it Shalit is a teenager who was in his own country when he was kidnapped by terrorists. The Palestinean murderer killed scores of people, innocents all. There should be no exchanges. There should be an all out war to get back all the prisoners immediately.

11. Barghouti
Marc ,   Switzerland   (04.08.07)
Barghouti freed, and by the same token, Yigal Amir too. Justice for all murderers. Israƫl will turn soon to be a Banana Republic.
12. Rashid, an Arab-Wannabe, the proof:
Hani ,   Yafa, PS   (04.08.07)
Hani is a guy's name. This basically prooves you're a disgruntled settler terrorist, cynical, writing Arab propaganda in order to distort and misguide reasonable Israelis into believing your trash ideologies.
13. National Hero 10
Sammy   (04.08.07)
I thougt ?alestinian national hero was the Messenger enroute to heaven, fly-riding on Barak, Bountywarrior Jassir, or Hitler's Mufti in Jerusalem Haj Amin Husseini? How many more national hero's are on the waiting list?

alex ,   arava, israel   (04.08.07)
you poor week deluded fool. If you believe that, you are also likely to believe that the palistinians will be victorious in their struggle against Israel. There has to be a point in time that all these exchanges and freeing convicted murderers and terrorists must stop.

please keep up the fighting and please never give up the right of return cause otherwise the Israelis will be force to serious concession towards the Palestinians.... but your stupidity will prevent such a desaster
18. To Rashid
Shai ,   Israel   (04.08.07)
I've read some really outrageous posts (the hypocritical and pollyanish Steiner comes to mind) but Rashid, you are so past the tipping point of being a fool that you have become a characture of what we think of when we think of "the Palestinian street". You are but one proof, as a representative of a whole school of thinking amongst the Palestinians, that there is no way there will ever be peace between you Arabs and us Jews. You are the product of a society that has taught its children to hate, to be bigoted, to eschew peace in favor of pride, to be incapable of a single complex thought, and to see itself as aggrieved victims without any capacity for empathy for anybody but themselves. You lie to yourselves that if we were under your rule that things would be better, when you must already know that Israel is already the most heterogenous society (that is, lots of races) in the Middle East, and the Arabs who live here have a broader set of rights than any Arabs in any Arab country. And you pretend that we'd have it better than you would have it for yourselves? In your world, to achieve even your low level of equality (equally deficient), we would all have to be Muslims and agree with you that everything is an "inevitability", as if human choices were forces of nature and not matters that we have to take responsibility for. Your arrogance knows no bounds - while you taunt those who have tried to find mutually advantageous solution to our conflict, you assert that we have to agree with your narrative of history BEFORE negotiations can begin. We must first capitulate not just on the terms of settlement, but on history itself, so great is your arrogance. You have been convinced that everything we say is lies, no matter how well documented, and everything you say is truth no matter how incredible (such as there being no truth of ancient Jewish presence here, yet no documentation is necessary for Palestinians to claim they were here "millions of years" and are descendants of the Caananites or Philistines). I can not but grant that you have a lot of UN resolutions in your favor, but your hubris in assuming that your political strength in the UN makes your assertions factual is symptomatic of your selectively narrow perspective on how your People have made this conflict irretrievably entrenched, as though your interests were in conflict and not in resolution. With your "not one inch" attitude, you are more interested in destroying my state than in having one of your own. Symbolic of all this is your post regarding Bhargouti. Here, a man is guilty of 5 murders is for you a hero. Yet, men and women who save lives of non-combatants by neutralizing the likes of Barghouti either by assasinating them or imprisoning them are the "terrorists", and those who collaborate in weakening the terrorists to allow peace on your side are condemend as "collaborators", killed, and mutilated. We Jews have limits to whom we call "heros". We seem to be able to condemn a Baruch Goldstein or a Meir Kahane when they arrive on the scene (rarely), yet there are just waves and waves of bigots amongst your People, all "heros". Your world is exactly upside-down, Rashid. Your ilk are delusional, stupid, misognynist neanderthals. Views like yours disgust me. I find it very difficult to maintain any stomach for peace with Palestinians when I realize that you are not the exception, but rather the rule that has elected the likes of Hamas, and who have made Abbas into a cheap tactical figurehead to achieve your strategic goal, the elimination of my country. I will shed no tears for you. I am not interested in peace with Palestinians if they are like you. If you want a fight to the end, you've got it. There is no peace with the likes of your kind.
19. Should never be released
mordechai ,   jerusalem   (04.08.07)
The reason not to release Barghouti is not because he has blood on his hands; A number of Israeli governments have released thousands of such terrrorists. The reason he should not be released is because it would lead to more blood shed.
20. Shai
Gary   (04.08.07)
you got that right had they some, whatsoever limited, intelligence, they would lay down their arms, pledge total nonviolence and WE would have a PROBLEM! But rest assured, this will never happen kol tov G
21. # 12 Hani
Avi ,   Israel   (04.08.07)
There is no way that "Rashid" is a settler or an Israeli, we don't stoop that low and if you really live here you should know that What you don't like is that "Rashid" is mirror to you soul and you Hani, don't like what you see, and that is a defunct and a disgusting "Palestinian" society. I hope my talk back will not upset you too much, after all we know what gives you people pleasure.
22. Shai - excellent t/b,
(04.08.07)
With people like you we will never fail.
23. one thousand to one
mike ,   Jerusalem   (04.08.07)
that is a laugh, one thousand arabs for one Jew, just goes to show you the value of an arab! One Jew is worth a thousand arabs, now if one shekel was worth a thousand dollars even the poorest Israeli would be a millionaire. So once again this shows what esteem arabs have for each othe and how they recognize the true value of a Jew. Think of how much money we waste feeding and housing one thousand of these murdering vermin who sit in our prisons. If we were smart we would enact shaaria here and go for the old eye for an eye, imagine the money we would save even if we had to pay full slaries to executioners to get the job done and then there would be no prisoners sitting in our jails to exchange> Then there would be no motivation to kidnap Israeli citizens
24. Sharon, Shamir and Begin were all involved up to their necks
Apartheid ,   Boston USA   (04.08.07)
in terrorist activities and had the deaths of many people on their shoulders. Bargouti is qualified to be prime minister of Israel.
25. Bargouti is politcly dangerous to Israel
zionist forever   (04.08.07)
The man is a terrorist who has been convicted of murder yes but thats not the worrying thing. If he is released firstly whenever there is a high level terrorist arrested no Israeli will be safe because the precident will have been set you take our people and we trade you even our most high level prisoners along with the rest of the murderers releasing Bargouti is asking for more kidnapings. The other problem is politcs the man is smart and he is popular on the street and in the west he knows eaxctly what to say to manipulate the Israeli left and the west ... make deals that are in reality very bad for Israel sound very reasonble. Free him and he will replace Abbas ( who is bad enough ) very quickly then he will be making the rules and he will have the kind of popularity Arafat did on the palestian streets but the difference is he will also be popular with the left who dominate Israel right now. Free the murdering smooth talker Bargouti and its the end for Israel when he wants something the Israeli politcans and the west will back it this man is no Arafat politcly he is worse. Somebody has to stop Olmert before there is no jewish state for Gilad Shalit to return to.
26. In the interests of goodwill and understanding of each other
zionist forever   (04.08.07)
Bargouti can be put in the same cell as Yigal Amir. I am sure that Amir will give him the time of his life while they are together give him a few experiences that nobody else will and then we can hand him back to hamas.
27. government is bankrupt already.........
sas ,   israel   (04.08.07)
28. The look of Mercy or Mercy? The Hot Water Test.
Yonatan Koss ,   Chiloquin,   (04.08.07)
The Israeli government strives for the look of mercy but actually harms its own Jewish citizens. They give terrorists many life sentences but use them as bargaining chips when they find themselves in political hot water. Make no mistake, if Olmert, Peres and Peretz were not in trouble they would let Gilad rot. This is not about a returned prisoner. This is about a way to save a bunch of drowned rats from their self made cessed pool of decite and corruption. Everything Olmert and friends do now is only in their self interests, they have no regard for the lives and safety of the Israeli populace.
29. Barghouti will free Israel from the terrorizing extremists
(04.08.07)
30. If Bargouti goes free
Marya ,   sacramento, USA   (04.08.07)
He will constantly be looking heavenward. He will not walk out of his house without scanning the skies. He will have many close calls in his car due to his preoccupation with his review mirror and his predilection to look up. His sleep will be blessedly disturbed. His stomach will cramp and his bowels turn to water. He will surround himself with children and family members because he is a coward. He will long for the security of his prison cell because he knows to the essence of his soul that it is only a matter of time...
