Only a fool of a Jew would even think of it. Shoot him in the head: yes: release him: never!

If Barghouti is such a terrorist with "such blood-soacked hands", then what would you call Sharon, Netanyahu, Peres and even Olmert, given all the blood they have on not just their hands...?

His hands aren't soaked in blood! NO! He joyously bathed in Jewish blood and drank it down like a drunken murderer.

lets put it this way,Arab killer releasing jewish killer

this person should not even be in jail to begin with i say we let him go, follow his whereabouts for the next 6 months and then assasinate him he will die a martyr, his family will be happy, israel will be happy its a win-win situation

for asking and Israel would be insane for agreeing.

who orchestrated Der Yassin, kofor qasim massacres. As for Sharon, well he's the king of massacres.

Now they are handing lists of demands? They are ALL thugs, clansmen and criminals (and their supporters) and do not deserve a state. Free Gaza now! Brauner for PM.

With Israel's self hating leaders willing to deal with and surrender to the demands of terrorists.

and make it clear there can be an exchange of hostages. Haniyeh and Abbas would be a good start. Either or both of these could have Shalit released if they wanted to. The rumored exchange is simply insane, it saves a single life at the cost of untold additional Jewish lives from the killers to be released.

As much as we would like to see Shalit to be freed, The release of barghouti will be a very big mistake . Barghouti will weaken Abbas and will reinforce Hamas and the terrorism....How many people will be killed in Israel because of this bad deal.

Why people even think of giving this criminal a release is beyond most.

Barghouti should be released and be part of any Israeli settlement with the Palestinians. Fatah has become a group of figureheads that has lost its credibility among the Palestinians - as it was shown in the Palestinian elections. It will be much wiser for the Israelis to deal with Palestinian leaders admired by their people - not with the monolithic Arafat cadre. As for Barghouti's past? It is not better or worse than any other Palestinian or Israeli leader. All have blood in their hands-directly or indirectly. The former Israeli prime ministers Begin and Shamir had blood in their hands as guerillas, but they served their country because they were elected. Let the Palestinians decide Barghouti's worth among themselves. Peace cannot be had when the stronger party at any peace talks choses the representatives of the opponent they prefer to deal with. That is ideal for Israel, but those ideals haven' t worked so far, and new venues and new thinking is needed. I sincerely think that Mr. Olhmert should wake up, smell his 3% approval rating, and change direction. Depriving the Palestinians the leadership of a leader they love and admire won' t make any deal better because such a deal will be hollow, unrepresentative, and it will lack a solid base and lasting power. And lasting peace is better than idealsitic concepts that perpetuate a war, because life can be much better without it.

Barghouti or any other individual, because they can't afford leaving more than a thousand prisoners in Israeli jail and withstand the international pressure about Shalit.

I have just met a news about them. The photo of univercity girls scared me. (Students at a university run by Hezbollah listen to a speech by the group's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, during a graduation ceremony in a Beirut suburb on Sunday. (Reuters )and I made a comment there. Let me copy my post here below. --- How I wish to see them in a NORMAL WAY. They think that they are fighting against to DEVIL. Have you heard PINK FLOYD ! I just cant take these losers while listening the song in high loud. Heaven to Hell, Middle is Pain Do you think, you can understand HOW I WISH TO STOP THEM TO THE DARK CENTURIES. NO MAN FROM MOON. WE ARE NOT UNDER AN ATTACK FROM MOON. WHAT IS THESE DIRTY WARS, FIGHTS. DO NOT MAKE DIRT YOUNG BRAINS WITH YOUR OLD HATES. THEY ARE NOT YOUR PLAY TOOLS. ISINT IT ENOUGH YOU HAVE LOST YOUR OWN CHILDREN ISINT THESE BLOODS ENOUGH. EVEN THERE WERE NO JEWS, YOU WOULD STILL FIND A ENEMY TO BLOW YOUR CHILDREN FUTURE. have you heard Pink Floyd ? what nice it would be to listen while relax and drinking a few cold beers. but, its monday morning, no time for been stupid, LETS WORK AND BE POSITIVE. Chilren dont belong anybody As I dont belong any religion. love Atilla Karagözoğlu Istanbul 10.05 A.M. Black Clouds on the sky

if weak leaders freely talk after their mistakes, PEOPLE ALSO MUST TALK WITH HIS OWN STYLE. THERE IS NO GREAT SECURITY. ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. COME ON YOUNG PEOPLE, LETS MAKE ALL FAKE LEADERS SCARE TO GO INTO PUBLIC. Enough Childreen killed. Enough PEACE RAPED. So, what you waiting for ? Atilla Karagözoğlu

This story explains a lot of my questions on the complex nature of a Barghouti release and why Hamas favors it.

Lol all these comments shows the real hatred you have for Palestinians. It doesnt matter if Israel doesnt release any prisoners. Because for every dead or captured Palestinian a hundred more will come in their place. In the end all these prisoners will be released and peace will prevail in the holy land under the banner of truth and justice.

Barghouti is a leader in Israeli prisons...and he should be part of any-- Hamas, Hizbullah or even Al Qaeda- deal. IF he's released thanks to Hamas, then it's good. If Fatah is a healthy organization, it would not fear mass-migration to Hamas from its ranks in such a situation....

10,000 Palestinian prisoners in israeli jails.most just political activists. Teenagers who threw stones at tanks.Children,400 currently held.Subjected to psychological.physical and sexual abuse.Many in administrative detention,held without trial.Democratically elected ministers held without trial. Israel's terror in shooting down innocent civilians and the daily violence of the Occupation.Retaliation by the Palestinians. END THE OCCUPATION.FREE THE PRISONERS.

When you are in a country with law and order, stone throwing is not allowed. If you know it, which you do, then why entice your children to throw stones? Do you have so little respect for your children that you encourage and teach them to hate? G-d gave you life enjoy it. The parents should serve time for any childs stone throwing. The PA won't declare statehood because they would have to take some responsibility for their actions.

The illegal Occupation of Palestinian land and the daily violence against a defenceless people has led to many responses. Teenagers have only stones to throw at advancing armoured tanks. What do you expect ?

Your whining is getting old. No one cares about your cries of "Occupation" anymore. Isarel has left Gaza and the West bank and the Palis still resort to terror. The fact that you don't see reality only shows your ignorance and bias when it comes to this matter. Maybe you should advocate Palestinians to start teaching their kids math instead of hate. Maybe they should take their international aid and use it to build, not destroy. Why are their chidren in the streets throwing stones instead of playing soccer, reading a book, going to school??? Answer these questions before spewing your nonsense.
