1. prisinor release
davids ,   belgium   (07.24.13)
Palestinian prisoners will dictate th rules. How crazy can it get? And Israel will play this game?
2. They should NOT be released in the first place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (07.24.13)
3. Israel needs the Death Penalty
Jacob ,   Los Angeles, CA   (07.24.13)
If Israel had the Death Penalty for terrorists which had blood on their hands, then Israel would not find itself in this situation. It is ridiculous to have any negotiations for criminals. Israel needs to stop this arrest and release process.
4. "Palestinian" murderers don't have to threaten to
A ,   Belgium   (07.24.13)
stop the "peace process", Abbas and his ratpack will do their best to stop it for them.
5. No more prisoners
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (07.24.13)
With idiots letting mass murderers go free the IDF should stop taking any prisoners whatsoever. Shoot to kill on sight
6. This is lunacy. Anymore stupid decisions this week?
NudNik69   (07.24.13)
7. Monitor their release
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (07.24.13)
if they caught again engaged in terrorist acts, EXECUTE ON THE SPOT
8. Keeping in mind, of course....
William ,   Israel   (07.24.13)
that such monitoring will also implicate these prisoners when they return to a life of terrorism thus negating the terms of their release and providing justification for Israeli re-arrest.
9. Only equal 'gestures' - nothing else.
David ,   Hartford USA   (07.24.13)
Releasing convicted terrorists for nothing in return? FORGET IT. And getting 'good will' from Abbas and ilk is a fool's errand. How can Israel expect to earn their good will when PA television programming shows young girls proclaiming their hearts out for the glorification of jihad and the demonization of Israel?? BIBI- let the PA's facts on the ground determine your actions. And the PA's 'facts' are instilling hatred in the CHILDREN towards Israel. You must DO NOTHING until Abbas cleans up his act (which he never will). Abbas is Arafat in better clothes- nothing more. Get Dahlan into power and then work with him to make peace. Abbas is old school and cannot be retrained to be a human being.
10. Prisoners call the shots in their own release????
Harry Wright ,   UK   (07.24.13)
So they want to dictate their own terms and conditions for their release? Leave them to ROT in jail. Israel is undermining its own justice system and should never be even putting this on the table as a pre-condition for talks. Kerry has no moral authority to demand this of Israel - but then, there is no right and wrong in the US anymore. Everything is honky-dory and OK so long as one person, communist Obama, wants it.
11. Insane
Ron ,   oc us   (07.24.13)
Absolutly nuts. The only prisoners that should be released are those that are infirm or will be released into Gaza. There should be no rewards for terrorism what so ever. The Arabs are having a field day.
12. INSANE Is Right
(07.24.13)
Many posts are correct, Don't Release Convicted Terrorists with blood on theirs hands, does this include those who Planed Such Deaths of Israeli citizens. Prisoners Don't Have ANY rights, they forfeited them The Day They were Convicted. Any prisoner released, arabs MUST REINBURSE STATE For Monies Spent to incarcerate them! However Nothing Should Be Finalized Until Johnathan Pollard Lands At Ben Gurion Airport!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This All like watching an episode of Fantasy Island. Da Plane Da Plane Cry's The Little Midget Oy Veys Mir
13. Prisoners demands..
Malone ,   Hfx   (07.24.13)
..I guess the inmates really do run the asylum.
14. Which country releases mass murderers in mass but
Adam Smith   (07.24.13)
Israel?
15. Gee . . . You Think They Are Afraid To Go Back?
emanon ,   USA   (07.24.13)
They realize they have it good in Israeli jails: three meals a day, a clean place to live, lots of idle time and no one trying to assassinate them because their political party is out of favor.
16. the lunatics are taking over the asylum
zionist forever   (07.24.13)
The decision to release any prisoners is a criminal act in its own right but the idea that the prisoners themselves will refuse to leave prison if they are not happy with the way Israel handles it is just plain crazy. Abbas also has a nerve demanding that arab Israelis and residents of Israel's capital be released as part of this package. He might represent terrorists from Judea & Samaria but he does not represent terrorists living in Israel. We need changes in the law whereby any terrorist who kills will be executed and any who commits violence that leads to serious injury should be locked up to serve a full term and the government should not have any authority to release them. Only in the case of low risk terrorists should the government be allowed to release in a goodwill gesture. Do that there will be no more kidnapings of soldiers or goodwill terrorist early releases.
17. if they don't like the terms of their release . . .
mira ,   nyc   (07.24.13)
they should stay in jail. Who ever heard of prisoners dictating the terms of their own release? This is absurd.
18. Israeli government has gone insane
Jacob Mendlovic ,   Toronto, Canada   (07.25.13)
Netanyahu is dishonest, just like the many Haredi rabbis in Israel. Netanyahu was always talking tough against terrorists, especially since his brother was killed in Entebbe. Now he appeases brutal murderers. He has brought Zionism to a despicable level. The Arabs must be laughing their heads off - Israel is a paper tiger.
19. prisoners
larry ,   Israel   (07.25.13)
why do they want to get out, the isreali prisons are far better then where their homes are, free food free education,, visitor rights .. no taxes, great life.
20. no more prisoners
larry ,   Israel   (07.25.13)
YES i Agree 100%
21. They ASK , they THREATEN !
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.25.13)
They must be happy that they will be released and are NOT in a position to put conditions on this
22. summer camp for terrorists?
