Right now much talk of leaving the country can be heard at the moment it is just talk but could become a reality as for many it is just too much to bare the thought of another reign of terror exposing their children to it , I dont believe the statistics of those in favor of the release most I hear are not or prefer to keep that position silent , The trauma experienced by millions has returned

seriousness with the apparent lack of coherent policy on the part of apparatchicks calling themselves ''politicians'' (what an oxymoron in this case!). No need now to pull out our collective hair & give more satisfaction to the Arab enemy. The right time will be, when facing the voting-booth. I know I won't, but good luck to all of you who still regain some semblance of faith in the democratic system!

Barak is a lier. Shame.

for security & justice. 2 things the leaders-olmert/livni/supreme court/barak and now bibi dont provide adequately. lieberman for pm

Israel has violated its promise to its own people, violated the principles by which we have stood all these years. Releasing these terrorists is causing additional pain and sorrow to those who have already known tremendous pain and sorrow. It is not right.

B"H Now that life sentence in Israel has no meaning animore, we want the mandatory death sentence for terror crimes. It is unthinkable that the Fogel killers let go free in a few years. Also, the president must be stopped in his crazy pardoning sprea: hundreds of Arab terrorists pardoned: Insane. Presidents must hava a limit to pardon maximum let's say 5 cases in their tenure!

It is a war story. Sharon ordered in 2002 the reoccupation of West Bank towns , he came to power in 2001 with a declared goal of ending the “War of Independence” of which the war in 1948 was “just one chapter, and in this new chapter we lost so many of our beloved and heroic people, we lost many innocent men, women and children, what did you expect of us? did you expect that Palestinian people will give you flowers for bombing their cities, and killing their relatives and friends ? War is hell. ...It's time to realize that You've started A war you can't win.

shalit not worth enough to set free all these terrorist; Israel is going out of sense. I feel betrayed by weak sentimentalism !

I left, with my wife (who is Israeli-born, unlike me). Yesterday I told her, "I'm sorry, but I really don't want you to go to visit your family and friends in Israel any more." I cannot allow myself or my wife to place ourselves in such danger, in a place where cold-blooded mass murderers are released after just a few years in jail, after being sentenced to multiple life sentences. My alternative plan would be: take these 1027 prisoners to the Gaza fence, and tell Hamas: "In 24 hours we'll start executing them, 1 by 1, until they're all gone - it should take 17 hours from them. You've got 24 hours to bring Gilad here. If you don't, we'll shoot one prisoner every single minute." I tend to be rather anti-Zionist and pro-Palestinian, but, in this case, that has nothing to do with it whatsoever. This is about murderers, people who are proud about what they did - such as Ahlam Tamimi.

I don't know where you get this crap from. When did the IDF EVER bomb any city in the West Bank? I served 3 years in the Nahal brigade, 50th battalion. You make it seem like we just go on patrol gunning down Palestinians in the street. Ridiculous.

your post as well as you are cheap. Israel bombs terrorists after killing israelis or rocketing israeli towns. You misserable specy kills babies wjile sleeping, old, young, women, men, enything that seems to be jew. I do not feel any pitty for your species.

The only solution to prevent the worst terrorists from being freed again in the future is to mandate capital punishment for anyone who kills civilians. The killers of the Fogel family should be the first to be executed.

Europe suites you rather well

We value life and they value death!

Palestinians still making threat they want to kidnap an IDF soldier or an Israeli civilians,so they can make a deal with Israel. Israel should make a law and should be done now,that if the Palestinains will kidnap an Israel soldier or a civilians,Israel will go to war with them, cutting off all electricity and water.

Where to start? 1. Israel opened a war?! 2. Israelis deliberately slaughter women and children?! Until you realize that there's something terribly flawed in your savage mentality, you will get nowhere.

What is the obsession of ynet with this creature calling itself "salma"? It is nausiating just to see her name prominently posted on so many article. Had the era been during the holocaust, would you at Ynet have printed any of IT'S venom against the Jews? IT constanly is preaching for the desctruction of Israel and jews wherever they are. IT is dancing on the graves of all the Israeli terror victims. So true tro form to your behavior at Ynet, I bet that you are going to delete this letter and go on airing this nazi sympathizer writing all IT'S poison regularly and often. Enough of IT. The Arabs papers would put a prize on the head of ANYONE who would write 5% of this crap against arabs amuch as IT writes in this Israeli channel. And please, do not give me the argument of "freedom of speech", "it's a free country"or "even handed reporting" nonsense.

This abominable deal is ripping the Israeli nation apart. This is more lethal than any of the suicide bombers that have exterminated innocent Jews carrying out their peaceful lives. I hate to predict it, but the destruction of morale is going to be enormous, both in the IDF and in the civilian population. This is more devastating to Israel than the retreat from Gaza or S. Lebanon. I don't think that Sharon is the only Israeli leader in a coma. They seem blind and deaf to the dangers that they are going to cause to the Jewish people in Israel and worldwide. Can anyone stop this madness????

Why all the hatred, Ezra ? is it because i said our blood is red too not cheaper than yours ? YES IT IS. I have nothing against Jews , i am not Nazi sympathizer, but i am not occupation sympathizer as well. i know there are many people like you in "Israel" , that's why we have no peace . Ezra, I feel sorry for you.

Your people value murderers Our people do not. This is where the problem lyes.

ahrabs hate jews and always will! they can never seem to hide their hatred like salma's little remarks!

you are sick. Watch your back, there's a bullet waiting for you.

with bibi in their party! Dump him now! bibi,ehud buraq and peres should be banned from politics for life and imprisoned if there is a single act of terror by the freed terrorists. All those in favor of this deal,wait for the wave of terror. You will change your minds at the funerals and bedsides of your family members and friends.

salma, or whoever and whatever you are, once you arabs had no voice. you took away your voice when your ancestors attacked israel on the day israel was born. israel didn't start the war. YOU MURDERER ARABS STARTED THE WAR! you've made your voice to be heard, with lies and murder. we haver an old saying here in the USA. :IF YOU GIVE A STUPID PERSON ENOUGH ROPE, HE WILL HANG HIMSELF"! Salma, i believe that the time for you arabs is approaching. soon, your voice will be no more. the silence of no longer hearing you and your ilk will be such a sweet pleasure. your treacherous lies will no longer soil the world's eardrums. your putrid phrases will be heard by no one except yourselves, desolate, alone, attended no longer.

I just want to say that both sides have killed people and caused death and destruction, and even if the IDF didn't target women and children, they still killed 4 times as many as the Arabs. We need to move on and stop pretending that we are the only victim here. Just end the occupation so we can put all of this behind us.

I was a passenger on bus 405 to Jerusalem that was steered over a cliff and killed 16 in the fiery crash that followed. May the name of the Islamic Jihad terrorist responsible for this ghastly attack be blotted out. By the same token I support the government's difficult decision to release the psychopathic muslim terrorist responsible for the bus 405 attack along with a large group of other psycho muslims in israeli jail. God will pay them back for their crimes.
