i have been here for over two weeks and i have not met one persons that supports any release of any prisoners as any gesture without the release of gilad. who are the morons that call themselves the gov erment govonering for they do not represent the people in anyway. they should be ashamed for what they are doing. to think that they act as they are guilty of something and feel they must make gesture of one sort or another. this is such a horrible manuver and it will not be in israels interests. I for an act of G-d to stop this kind of behavior. doesn't Olmert have prostate cancer? C'mon already

why should we release ONE more terrorist before we see shalit walk across the border????? This is disgusting.

goodwill gestures of releasing terrorists with blood on their hands besides more terrorism? ELI YISHAI, the only sensible person in the government, MUST REPLACE Olmert IMMEDIATELY.

as a "goodwill gesture" of course.

Israel’s enemies, using guerilla organizations such as the terrorist group Hizbullah and Hamas operates outside the legal framework of the laws of war – routinely committing war crimes such as indiscriminate attacks (the deliberate targeting of civilians as such) and perfidy (disguising combatants as protected individuals such as civilians). The organizations’ fighters are unlawful combatants who are not entitled to the protected status of POWs, and are subject to prosecution as war criminals. More at : http://xrl.us/kj6sj

forced to release 11000? SOON.

Olmert & Barak and Livni keep talking about how we will have to pay a painfull price for the release of Gilad Shalit. At the same time of trying to decide how painfull that price should be they are releasing hundreds more terrorists free of charge as a goodwill getsure. Just show the palestians we are such nice guys, we dont want anything in return this one is on us because we love you Mr Abbas. Livni is showing her true colours that she is Olmert in a dress. She tries to talk tough to try grab the right wing voter to who Mofaz would be a more logical choice as Livni has no millitary experience. At the same time she like Olmert say the Kuntar for corpses deal was a good one. She is very proud of her part in negotiationg 1701. She is all for the painfull concesions for Gilad Shalit even if they will damage security. She wants to give up the Golan and Jerusalem. Now she is backing the goodwill gesture of releasing another 200 terrorists. In the 90s we were releasing thousands of prisoners as goodwill gestures and hundreds of them went on to commit more terror attacks including the mastermiinds of the Park Hotel bombing. Is there anything this stinking corupt regime wont do to show they love the palestians. Elections now not just simply Olmert handing the crown over to Livni

We certainly don’t have a government we can trust and the arabs are a thousand times worse. We trusted that giving up the Gush would help security; at least that’s what the government told us. Every goodwill gesture has ended up costing Jewish lives and the insane leaders are not a bit pragmatic! Lets release Olmert and company into Gaza.

MY MY, is sarcasm another form of the hebrew language,as it seems..

This will lead to more blood on their hands. Israeli will die because of these selfish peoples actions. HAve they once even asked Abass to change the wording on the PA Charter, that callls for Israels destruction?? NO! These actions do bolster Fatah....yes....to kill more israeli! Utterly disgraceful! The people demand general elections NOW!!!

How about the whole government dropping dead as a gift to the Jewish people! How about freeing all Jews that killed arabs as well as Yigal Amir? How about a law to protect Jews who kill palis from prosecution?

Why not free all Palestinians in Israeli jails??? Israel is getting weaker by the week with these imbecilic decisions. Israel has shown the world that it lacks backbone and thereby it lacks deterrent. We threaten and that is all we do. Israel must learn to win. Win the public relation war and win the war in Gaza. One can only accomplish this by curbing appeasement and demonstrating that Israel is capable of routing the enemy on both fronts. Each government member should open the dictionary to the following three words: Win Appeasement Shame

for what? Is this intended to please Abbas? Has Abbas become the king of Israel? It is time the Leftist government understands that their job is to please their own nation by defending and protecting their national interests, and not to please their enemies. Shas and Mofaz did the right thing in opposing it.

Predictably the "Queen of Surrender Drippy" Livni voted in favour . A vote for Kadima is a vote for more of the same. Once again nothing is received in return except more violence towards Israel

Let's not forgot what he has done, Amir should finish his life in jail.

You forgot to mention that they are returned in a Beautiful Casket!!!!!!! For after all this GOVERNMENT can't be that Stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

terrorist. OOOPS - I'm sorry - their kids don't serve in the IDF. Maybe Chaim Ramon will send a love-child to the IDF to re-capture the terrorists

For our attonement day, Kippour... Egypt made a gesture. For Pessach few years ago... Suicide bombing at the Park Hotel, in Netanya. Rosh Hodesh of last Adar (Marbim Be'Simha), we got a terrorist attack in Merkaz Harav yeshiva... We could make a full list of those "gestures" we got from arabs or from palestinians. Let me tell you they really don't care about Ramadan. This is a period where the most barbaric attacks are used to take place in Algeria, and Iraq. We're the only stupid persons who think about gestures towards people who DON'T DESERVE them.

As much as lies are part of islam and the arab world. You should look in the mirror first before you post anything on here. When being two faced is not welcomed and endorsed then a person from where your from may have any sort of credibilty.

more left! go go go! I heard Abbas is planning to run for Kadima chair too, since the Knesset seems to do more for pals than anyone else, including their own government.

Appeasement didn't work in our favor in Oslo, the Disengagement or the Annopolis disaster. Why won't our so-called leaders ever learn anything??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Does anybody here support this?

Mass murder and atrocities of Christians including horrific 'The Massacre and Destruction of Damour' by PLO in Lebanon was REWARDED by importing barbaric PLO into Israel to perpetrate terrorism and mass murder. THAT IS WHAT TERRORISTS DO. Damour's Christians treated Muslims from nearby villages for free in their hospital and were rewarded with great horror. See: http://www.free-lebanon.com/LFPNews/psa/psa.html

Or they were 'moderate' killers? What would our forefathers say about this? What would G_d say?
