31. Murderers released to appease Obama, Pollard rots in jail
Bozo   (07.27.13)
32. Yoni Netanyahu Died in Vain
DAVID JACOBS ,   HASMONAIM ISRAEL   (07.27.13)
Benjamin, If you were Prime Minister of Israel In 1976 your brother Yoni would probably be alive. The government of Israel would have released the approximately 20 prisoners that the hijackers were demanding to be released. In summary many Jews will die because of your capitulation to Hussein Obama. I suggest you resign if you can't handle the pressure of Obama and the world. You are fully aware that releasing murderers and withdrawing to the 67 borders can very well lead to the annihilation of Israel David Jacobs Hasmonaim Israel
33. Anti-Jewish Policy!
Ariel ben Yochanan ,   Kfar Tapuah, Efraim   (07.27.13)
B"H - By agreeing to the anti-Jewish policy of the Arabs, Israel too becomes anti-Semitic: Release long serving Jewish prisoners: Yigal Amir, Ami Popper and Jack Teitel!
34. Shameful to release murderers
Ilana   (07.27.13)
35. Don't you dare do it!
David ,   Hartford USA   (07.27.13)
These rabid Arab scum have the blood of innocents on their hands and MUST serve their entire sentences. Anything less is NOT justice. (They should have received the death penalty anyway.) Bibi's weak excuse isn't worth the toilet paper it was written on. If he orders the release, his government must fall- for he is NOT FIT to lead. Once a sound and just peace is worked out, kick these dirtbags out of Israel. But until that time, all prisoners must serve their complete sentences. Do the crime, do the time. End of story.
36. And Marwan Barghouti?
michael redbourn ,   Arad Israel   (07.27.13)
37. perverse BB, Obama and kerry
bernard ross   (07.27.13)
BB demonstrates that he is a most despicable person beyond the pale. Obama and Kerry show that they too are despicable for blackmailing BB into committing despicable acts against the Jewish people. All of them and those that support this obscenity are beyond redemption and deserving of the worst imaginable fate. At the very least they deserve what the terror victims and their families suffered. There are other gestures available but this evil "gesture" was specifically designed by abbas, obama and kerry to torture the Jewish people by making the Jews guilty of despicable acts towards their own. what are the names of the ministers supporting this perversion of humanity?
38. nation being seduced into the gravest of sins
bernard ross   (07.27.13)
israel is being seduced by the design of abbas, obama and kerry into committing the most vile sins against its own people. This is designed to humiliate, torture and revile the jews as the only people who would wilingly defile their own. after this act the jewish people will have no claim to a shred of morality having sold its soul to the devils.
39. a painful decision
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (07.27.13)
As Netanyahu suggest, Israel should support a very painful decision: Netanyahu quits and moves to the US. When he gets there he will find out what the US, a country of law and justice, would do with the 103 murderers Netanyahu wants to release: they would be shot dead.
40. Obama, your heart must be bursting with pride
Cipora Julianna Kohn   (07.27.13)
you have managed to release more than a hundred muslim murderers of jewish civilians.
41. STOP THIS BENNETT--- WE HAVE NO OTHER HELPER IN ISRAEL!!!!!!
BSD ,   Israel   (07.27.13)
All our other politicians have gone MADDDDDDD
42. Above The Law?
Max ,   Washington DC   (07.27.13)
In America not even the President is above the Law and Congress could Impeach anyone for treason for aiding and abetting the release of murderers from life prison sentences. Too bad this is not the case in Israel where murderers are routinely released by leaders who have no shame and no backbone!
43. the same old story
Cipora Julianna Kohn   (07.27.13)
the goyim are extorting the jews. the jews are tearing themselves apart, each blaming the other, pretending that they were not extorted by the goyim who want them dead.
44. BIBI IS GOING TO GET US ALLLL KILLED.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG ,   Israel   (07.27.13)
When the rockets start flying he will take Sarah and move to Texas. What does he care..?!!!!!!!
45. #32. My take on your point...
Harry Wright ,   UK   (07.27.13)
I think that Yoni Netanyahu would have been totally disappointed to know that his brother is prepared to release murderers of Jews. Yoni lost his life in a heroic attempt to free Jewish hostages and today, his brother is prepared to release murderers & terrorists - for the sake of what? That is a slap in the face for all Israelis. Because it was done in the past DOES NOT make it OK. The lessons of the past should show that it is out and out despicable. Bibi should be strongly committed today to not repeat the mistakes of the past. This "Catch and Release" business will not do for murderers and terrorists. Obama and his cronies who are forcing this on Israel have no morals whatsoever. That is quite obvious to everyone. Yoni must be turning in his grave over this.
46. I agree
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.27.13)
Release Jonathan Pollard. It's called leverage. Hussein Obama wants something and is not above bullying the State of Israel relentlessly. Pardon Jonathan Pollard, Mr. President. Then, we'll have something to discuss. Not unless; not until.
47. Beyond my comprehension!
Daniel ,   Switzerland   (07.27.13)
48. Absolutely do not do it!
Cynthia ,   USA   (07.28.13)
This is only an incentive for the Palestinians to break agreements to release more terrorists. Kerry is in it for the short term and Obama wants a quick fix to counter his compounding scandals and lack of accomplishment. Israel gets nothing in return except terrorists who will run free to commit more terror.
49. Prisoner release
Dennis Greenstein ,   USA   (07.28.13)
I can't elite e that the israeli government is going to give in to these murderers demands to release 103 thugs ith blood on their hands. It will get worse , as they surely will have a "victory parade" shortly thereafter in Ramallah.. If I were a bereaved parent of a victims one of these murderers, I'd find a way to ensure that they wouldn't live to see that parade. Insanity like this will ensure that I would never return to live in Israel.
50. If it's so "painful" and such an "injustice"
Miracle Dog ,   Israel   (07.28.13)
Why are you doing it? Never in Israeli history has a government backstabbed the population so badly. I'd prefer Meretz over this lot, and I'm no leftist. At least they are honest. If more people had voted Bennett we wouldn't have had this problem. Look at the talkbacks. Nobody apart from a few kooks supports this. Yet the democratically elected government does it. Simply disgusting and may many Likud ministers have the balls to stand up to this.
51. This is so obvious
Reuven ,   New York   (07.28.13)
The path of these negotiations is so obvious: 1) Prisoners will be released 2) Abbas will come to the table and negotiate 3) Abbas will demand all of East Jerusalem and the full "right or return". 4) Israel won't agree with Abbas' demands 5) The talks will break off 6) More terrorism and/or another intifada to come
52. Its called disenfranchisement at best
Kerwood Derby ,   Frostbite Falls, MN   (07.28.13)
But more accurately duplicitous, traitorous tyranny. Just as the electorate voted Likud not to implement the Mitzna Plan to destroy Jewish lives in Gush Katif and BB voted over&over&over&over for it, he again not only disenfranchises those who voted for Likud he is condemning am Yisrael to more manifestations of the endeavors of the genocidal, mass-murdering extortionists who should have their right of return enforced back to the homicidal Hamite peninsular homeland of their own name not back into the midst of their victims in the land of the Jews own name.
53. We need a death penalty
David ,   Haifa, Israel   (07.28.13)
If Israel had a death penalty for terrorist murders, we wouldn't have any prisoners to release.
54. prisoner release
mel ,   zichron   (07.28.13)
What madness! what are courts for? They should rot in jail, what are you giving the Palestinians presents for? what will we get in exchange? more murders by them . Total madness mtumtamim.
55. Kerry is rubbing Israel's nose in Palestinian's crap
Shmuel Ingalut ,   Miami, USA   (07.28.13)
It is inconceivable that even one Jew would agree to release the murderer of one Israeli. The Israeli gov't. has absolutely no right to sell the value of a Jew's life for what everyone already knows is what we term in English "a bill of goods". I am ashamed.
56. This is a mistake
emunadate   (07.28.13)
These prisoners are murders and will try to murder again. They should never be back on the streets. We don't want more Israeli victims.
57. Note to self NEVER VOTE FOR LIKUD OR THEIR ALLIES AGAIN!!!!
(07.28.13)
Bibi no doubt is spending 10k$ tonight from our 18% VAT just on his dinner tab and is tAlking about pain???? Give me a breAk!! As an oleh hadash from USA I've been nothing but disgusted with Israeli society.
58. prisoner release
mel ,   zichron   (07.28.13)
What madness! what are courts for? They should rot in jail, what are you giving the Palestinians presents for? what will we get in exchange? more murders by them . Total madness mtumtamim.
59. Obama cracks da whip, and Israel jumps!
Cameron ,   USA   (07.28.13)
Clearly no confusing who calls the shots in this alliance.
60. releasing murderers
Relly   (07.28.13)
one more time it confirms that once these murderers are found guilty, they should be hanged without hesitation and without delay (and without the right to appeal). Hang them by the dozens since it is the only language they understand. display them to the public, but mostly to the world cameras and confirm that we do not want to be better and morally superior to them and end up paying with our lives and the lives of our children. Furthermore, it is not about vengance or justice, it is about their learning that there are consequences. And, by the way, their families and relatives should pay for all costs associated with their trials, incarceration, food, lawyers, execution, everything! and if they cannot pay, then properties should be expropriated. It is not fascism, it is a way of making sure they understand that we know how to live in this neighborhood. And for us, we should read again Joshua and reflect deeply about our needs.
