1. No Shalit - No release!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (10.01.07)
Olmert MUST listen to the people. We give into everything the USA, EU and the "Quartet" wants and what do we get in return? Threats of terror attacks. When it comes down to brass tacks there is no difference between Fatah and Hamas. They, with all the other "factions" have all sworn to destroy Israel. For this we reward them by releasing terrorists? The Government is like a lunatic asylum being run by the inmates!
2. They celebrate - we cry....
Z Lando ,   Tekoa, Israel   (10.01.07)
Tell me YNet: This is news???? What the &%$#$% do we care if the release is delayed... Squeeze the rock for all you can... make money on other's misfortunes... what a bunch of losers....
3. IGNORANCE IS NOT BLISS!
ROLAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (10.01.07)
IS IT TOO MUCH TO KNOW WHAT THEIR CRIMES WERE? ARE JEWISH PRISONERS ALSO AMNESTIED AT THE TIME OF SOME MAJOR FESTIVAL?WILL THIS E MAIL FALL TO BLIND EYES SO THAT I WILL REMAIN NONE THE WISER .WHAT ARE THE CHANCES THAT I WILL RECEIVE AN INFORMATIVE REPLY ?
4. Shalit
Richard ,   London UK   (10.01.07)
For a start it is arguable whether any of the relaeased prisoners are 'terrorists'. The definition of a terrorist is a memebr of an organisation who supports or administers indiscriminate violence to a people for ideological reasons. Therefore the captured Isreali is also a terrorist. the Palestinians are defending themselves against overwhelming violence. That is not terrorism.
5. Release to Appease Abbas..but wait Abbas wants more
Obama ,   Washington DC   (10.01.07)
6. #2 - Wrong, the "palestinian" people are
(10.01.07)
not "defending themselves against overwhelming violence", that's the Israelis. Idiot.
7. Ramadan Kareem
Go in peace   (10.01.07)
Inshallah your release will bring peace faster and the prisoners on both sides to their homes.
8. Delay it? Just cancel it altogether.
(10.01.07)
9. Goodwill?
chaim ,   Tzur Hadassa   (10.01.07)
They'll be back. This time in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, etc. This time with a bomb belt. Haven't we been down this road before?
10. #6
Richard ,   London UK   (10.01.07)
That overwhelming violence is being perpetuated against the Palestinians is not in doubt to the majority of world opinion. Let us state some of the facts on the ground. Gaza is surrounded and the inhabitants are denied freedon of movement. The West Bank is actually behind a concrete wall - I repeat A WALL, and subject to illegal settlements. The Isreali air force fly regular sorties over Gaza and the West Bank and fire air to ground missiles on 'suspected militants'. The IDF control the borders, the sea and the airspace over Gaza and the West Bank. No-one enters or leaves without their permission. The IDF reguarly infiltrates the controlled border and kills and kidnaps Palestinians. Houses are bulldozed. Olive groves are destroyed. So what have the Palestinians done in the face of that provocation? resisted.
11. #6 Wrong- You IDIOTS get out & kill each other!! And now we
in the west r pass'n ,   out the candy!!!!!!   (10.01.07)
12. They didnt even smile for the Camera.
Alan ,   SA   (10.01.07)
13. WHY CATCH THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE?
ROLAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (10.01.07)
IF YOUR PHOTO OF THE RELEASED PRISONERS DEPICTS A LESSON THAT WAS LEARNT IN JAIL, THE JAIL WAS TOO CUSHY!
14. Freed to bomb again another day
Chaya ,   Bat Yam, Israel   (10.01.07)
15. their signature isn't worth the paper it was signed on
Mike ,   Jerusalem   (10.01.07)
these prisoners have no honor whatsoever and have no intention to never engage in terrorism, maybe thy have a different definition of terrorism!
16. NO RELEASE
HAGIT ,   ISRAEL   (10.01.07)
RELEASE ALL THE TERRIORIST AND LET THEM TO ATTACK ISRAEL AGAIN?
17. on the same day Barak will "act against draft dodgers"
Moshe ,   Beit Shemesh   (10.01.07)
why go to the army if: i) Olmert's kids didn't have to; ii) Olmert's coalition partners from Shas don't send THEIR kids; iii) if you are lucky enough to capture a terrorist, Olmert will free him for his personal political agenda. Why should we be cannon fodder?
18. US pressured Olmert to release terrorists
Marcel ,   Florida   (10.01.07)
It's always the same .Israel is suposed to do something to help bolster a supposed weak Abbas . Even after all the good will gestures over the years by Israel have been seen as weakness and emboldened Israel's enemies. Even after so many of these Palestinian terrorists have gone to kill Jews after their release,Bush pushes Israel to do more of the same . He is an evil man with innocent blood on his head. The Palestinians are never required to do anything except continue the lies of this fake peace process. The trampling of Israel's sovereignty by the U.S. IS NEVER ENDING AND MOSTLY DONE IN SECRET BEHIND CLOSED DOOR. This allows the blind fools who see America as a friend of Israel to continue in their delusion One example of evil agenda the US is playing here; http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1189411521978&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull Will the decieved Bush boot lickers ever wake up ? I doubt it.
19. Appeasing Terror and Crime
B ,   Us   (10.01.07)
Appeasement of terror and crime is not goodwill. It is the empowerment of sick and hateful intent and actions. It is foolishness and lack of understanding of the dark path and interpretation of a scripture that is holding the world hostage to its violent, intolerant, hateful ways and means. Bringing darkness, fear, suspicion and lunacy in the name of religion.
20. REMEMBER THESE FACES...
(10.01.07)
21. Unilateral peace?
eliyahu   (10.01.07)
A new level of stupidity, so bad that Peres and Olmert don't even pretend to give a reason for their actions. Unilateral peace does not even make gramatical sense. It is like saying " I have a great love life. All it is missing is another person". This is a great move towards peace. All it's missing is the other side. I'd like to see statistics on how many of the prisoners already released that have signed intent statements have already violated those signed statements.
22. #7
(10.01.07)
what prisoners on BOTH SIDES????? we do not have shalit released, do we? where is golwasser and regev? where are the "remains" of ron arad twenty years ago since we heard from him. you palestinians, inshallah, got all the goods, while the israelis got nothing in return. shouldn't our prisoners be returned also since yours are returned in the hundreds? what do you mean by prisoners on BOTH SIDES RELEASED. i only see them release the palestinians, not the israelis on the pali side.
23. The irony: Arab criminals released, peaceful Jews arrested
Canadian Otter   (10.01.07)
At the same time Olmert is releasing these criminals who will go on killing Jews, he's ordering the arrest of Jewish loyalists who want to set up peaceful communities in their own land.
