1. Most Islam against Jewish Independant
Zechariah   (11.04.13)
Almost all of Islam is against a Qjewish Independant state in the Ancient Holy Land .But that's not the worst of it .All progressive and Humanitarian people's need to realise that the Jews of Europe prepared for genocide by the Pagan Nazis were not offered Islamic lands .as Areas for Temporary refuge.Of all the Examples Turkey is the most striking .Close to Eastrn Europe it refused to take a boat load of hundreds of Jews in the Delapidated vessel The Struma when the Fate of the War was still unclear.
2. It only takes one to ....
David ,   Los Angeles   (11.04.13)
become a suicide bomber and kill tens of innocent people.
3. This is Total Bullshit !
YIsrael of Jerusalem ,   Jerusalem , ISRAEL   (11.04.13)
4. Released Terros all are competing for Mother Theresa Award
Alan ,   SA   (11.04.13)
5. Taqiyya
(11.04.13)
Sorry, I just don't believe this. Where are some statistics or supporting evidence?? It sounds like the usual Taqiyya to me.....
6. I can understand it
arne ,   chicagousa   (11.04.13)
but the release must accompany a goodwill jester from the pals and those released must understand that if they get back into the business of crime and are caught they will never see the light of day again. It is good that they got a good look at the jews and can recognize the good side of them and talk it up--it can't hurt to be a good neighbor--I hope so.
7. No ICC in exchange for prisoners is the deal. Make my day.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (11.04.13)
8. Looks like a self-serving comment to get Pal prisoners free
Sam ,   Canada   (11.04.13)
Palestinians don't care how or how many Israelis they killed they just want their prisoners released. This appears to be a commentary to help move along the prisoners they want released and not a movement to peace. A movement to peace would have Palestinian leaders say that peace includes a Jewish majority Israel. Both the Palestinian leaders and people reject that but they want their prisoners released.
9. Ha ha ha.Wake up ya Ashraf
hadad ,   Israel   (11.04.13)
10. Bull
ron ,   Netanya   (11.04.13)
Is there any proof that past prisoners are returning to peace? This seems like leftist propaganda to me. I have only seen evidence supporting the opposite, most prisoners return to terrorism. Countless IDF arrests of Palestinians in the west bank have been 'rearrests'. They return to their villages and are seen as heroes and badasses and they feel a need to maintain a reputation and gain revenge on the people who imprisoned them and took days, weeks and years from their life. Returning these terrorists should be done with the greatest of caution and only in exchange for something of worth from the Palestinians. Instead we give something for nothing.
11. freed prisoners
Dik ,   Spijkenisse   (11.04.13)
if this is true they must openly renounce violence against Jews to their own public. Shalo fro Holland
12. Contribution to peace process
Lazerbenabba ,   London, England   (11.04.13)
I sincerely hope that you are right, however, anecdotal evidence and actual facts do indicate the recidivism of a large number of freed prisoners. Without actually naming those for obvious reasons who, as you say, move toward the peace process, it would be useful to indicate the numbers who have the courage and inclination to alter their ways as against those who have continued their terror activities. Perhaps it would be useful for Abbas to spend some time in an Israel jail to perhaps change his tune.
13. It is nice to hear that.
cfspirit ,   fr and dz   (11.04.13)
Peace is important.
14. Typical twisting the knife
Israel   (11.04.13)
15. Ynet? Is it still an Israeli newspaper?
Pawel ,   Poland   (11.04.13)
16. Steve #7, A couple of reasons why that's false.
Jake   (11.05.13)
First, Israel is not signatory to the ICC, which -by the way - tries individuals, not states. Second, the PA doesn't go to the ICC because it doesn't wish to open up a whole can of worms of prosecutions against palestinian officials. After all they wouldn't want the spotlight shining on skeletons in their closet such as, for example, the role of Abbas in the 1972 Munich Massacre, now would they?
17. Total BS
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (11.05.13)
A vast majority have returned to committing terrorism - that has been proven many times over. Those that don't have actively worked to encourage terrorism. There is not a single Arab group working for peace in the PA. How stupid do you think us?
18. This article, Santa Claus and the Great Pumpkin
Larry ,   LA   (11.05.13)
What does this article, Santa Claus and the Great Pumpkin have in common? They are all made up babamasiyim (yiddish for made up stories). Sorry to Charlie Brown and all the Christian children who must learn that their dreams do not exist. Sorry for this article whose author seems to ignore reality and live in the world of dreams.
19. You gotta be kidding!
A Simple Jew ,   Tel Aviv   (11.05.13)
Terrorists brag they are going to kill more Jews. They know they are released by our weakness, not by our goodwill. This article is classic "big lie" propaganda.
20. In cold blood!
Michael Pielet ,   israel   (11.05.13)
These cold blooded murderers are what they are, cold blooded despicable murderers. The writer has no moral compass. The only peace they desire is pieces of Jewish children, women and men lying in the road.
21. Criminal al-Ajrami misses that Al Takkyia doesn't work here
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (11.05.13)
22. Total rubbish
lucifer69   (11.05.13)
23. Proof please
John   (11.05.13)
The relativity of "freedom fighter/terrorist" is irrelevant. Show us proof that "the majority of freed prisoners join the efforts for peace after their release" and perhaps we'll begin to buy it. Otherwise, this op-ed is nothing more than an opinion and propaganda piece of a Palestinian official working for a highly corrupt government.
24. Ergo: The more Pals that kill Jews and go to ...
sg ,   Teaneck   (11.05.13)
the sooner we'll all have peace. Maybe Israel should also name streets after Pali murderers and other such heroes. Israel, where's your gratitude?
25. Sort of a new take on the Peace Corps.
SG ,   Teaneck   (11.05.13)
26. All the Pretty Flowers
The Bald Scotsman ,   Tampa,USA   (11.05.13)
What a lovely column. I have two questions for the author. 1. Where is your evidence. 2. How much does the stuff you are smoking cost? I would really love to get some. Wow! Look at all the pretty flowers; Such bright happy peaceful colors. Kiss, Kiss, Yes, we all love each other.
27. I never fail to post my pathetic broken record ICC, UNSC
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (11.05.13)
28. No. 7 wrong as usual. Fukestinians threaten now to go to ICC
(11.05.13)
29. Not a very good attempt at stand up comedy!
tom ,   tel aviv   (11.05.13)
30. mr.ajrami
(11.05.13)
People who beat and stab people to death,or tie people up put sacks over their heads and shoot them from close range are coldblooded murderers period. No matter how much you and other Arab terrorists supporters lie and try to make them out to be something else.
