dictates that the Israeli public gets a list of those that were released, the length of the prison term and the reason they were locked up in the first place - and WHY they were released and what for. No-one has the balls to do it - even though they owe it to us to do so.

What did we get in return as a gesture of goodwill from the Palestinians?

This may very well be the LAST release of terrorists & criminals for a very, very, long time. The game is almost over for the criminals who released the criminals as well. The only prisoner release on the horizen is the Israeli citizens who will hopefully be freed from the grip of this bunch of rotten, useless, appeasement-minded politicians that make up the current gov't.

FREE JONATHON POLLARD FREE GILAD SHALIT FREE ALL JEWS WHO IMPRISON THEMSELFS IN THEIR OWN MINDS free of the idea that they, THE JEWS MUST APOLOGIZE for every action taken against terrorist who moments earlier attempted to kill an ISRAELI. or a SUPPOSED civilian who happenes to be standing with the terrorist gets killed '' WE JEWS MUST FREE OURSELFS. WE OWE NOTHING TO ANYONE EXCEPT TO OUR NATION AS 'ONE' AND WE ACCEPT THE YOKE OF TORAH WHICH WILL FREE US FROM ALL

Each and everyone of these sadistic, militant terrorists are ticking time bombs ready to deal death and destruction to Jews in Israel. It would be better for Israel to execute them than allow them to return to active terrorism. Of course Israel should also mix pig parts into the dead corpses of these islomonazis so they will not be given martyr status and huge funerals. History shows that successful campaigns against jihadists always included mixing pig parts into the dead bodies of muslims, it stops the Islomonazis cold in their tracks and spreads fear through their ranks like no other technique!

What about Gilad Shali? Yesterday International Red Cross supported the Nazis. At present, this institution backs Hamas and Al Fatah.

anyone ever heard of such a thing?

By exchanging prisoners with the terrorists as if they were law-abiding states, Israel can be seen as upgrading the status of the unlawful combatants from terrorists and war criminals, giving them the same rights as lawful soldiers, without demanding from them the reciprocal obligations. At the same time, Israel downgrades the rights of its own captured soldiers by overlooking the organizations’ systematic depravation of POW rights for Israeli soldiers under the Geneva Conventions. The damage this does to both international law and the international criminal justice system is considerable. More at : http://xrl.us/kj6sj

Give a Mouse a Cookie, and it'll ask for a glass of milk. Give the Palestinians 227 terrorists and they'll ask for them all. How about in exchange for 227 of your imprisoned people you give us back Shalit? This is so stupid, the release of prisoners only hurts us further. We get nothing in return and some of these people will continue to try and attack Israel. Olmert, stop shooting us in the foot!!!

To release 227 Palis for free while one and only Gilat is still in captivity is absolutely insane. I won't be surprise 11k of them will be free soon

It is dangerous and costly to arrest these thugs. Why waste your time if you are just going to release them?

he'll be dead by now.

free all of them- let their brothers feed them- make sure you close the border behind them- and keep it closed... end the farce!
