There is no mystery here---there will not be any resignations by cabinet members! These invertebrates are incapable of taking such a stand! Ask the equivocating MK Uzi Landau---who voted to give Gush Katif to Hamas and then "boldly" acted... All posturing for the masses, while each of them acts solely in furtherance of their own fiefdoms---with the chief spineless organism Bibi (the one who spoke so tough until he became PM years ago and gave away Hevron) at the top of the garbage dump.

would anybody with a grain of common sense agree to freeing Israeli Arabs for crimes they carried out against Israel. What the devil has that scumbag Pollard got to do with the whole issue?

among the peoples, and ye shall be left few in number among the nations . . . Deuteronomy IV, 27

If America is indeed a friendly country to Israel there should not be any deal. Just release him for the facts that America steal secrets from every country including Israel. And is all so true to an extend that Snowden have run for his life. America is behaving much worse than Russia now. God bless Polard.

So now the US is holding political hostages

Of course, those in the know always knew the end game and talks meant nothing. The PA gained an ally in the United States and Israel lost two turns at rolling the dice. Israels first move at the UN is the announcement that no peacekeeping force will be allowed in Israel or the Golan and any attempt will be treated as an infringement on Israeli territory and if necessary, repelled by force. No further discussion to be entertained until the Iranian nuclear issue is resolved to Israeli satisfaction. The PA to be declared a terrorist organization, dissolved and action taken against its leaders.

The Palestinian government has not shown their sincerity with this talk from the start. They acted as if they were forced into it. And Israel kept paying the price, while Palestinian side kept saying no to every condition Israel laid out. Enough is enough, if not too much - terrorists being released. America and Kerry are showing their true colour in using Pollard. Shameful act by an ally to use Pollard in this bad deal to pressure Israel.

Exchanging Pollard for Terrorist and land freeze is problematic for at least two reasons. Pollard, from my little reading should not be in US jails in the first place, he should have been released long time! Exchanging for terrorist makes no sense. Secondly, what do you think these terrorists are released to do, to kill more Israel's. I don't think Pollard would agree to this.

Think about... F. W. de Klerk, and Nelson Mandela. "De Klerk brokered the end of apartheid, South Africa's racial segregation policy, and supported the transformation of South Africa into a multi-racial democracy by entering into the negotiations that resulted in all citizens, including the country's black majority, having equal voting and other rights."

...The prisoners Abbas wants released are murderers. Pollard never killed anyone, nor did anything he did ever put American lives in danger.

Here's the Deal... in exchange for the Palestinian authority acting like a civilized society that stops making threats and demands and deals that are proposturious in nature in order to sway this degenerate, society that is plaguing this earth, to which the Palestinian authority has no intent on honoring,Israel wont unleash Holy Hell onto your criminal culture and turn gaza into a pile of ash, bulldoze down every squalid shanty in sight and hang every last one of your filthy rat terrorists.

We'll keep our rat behind bars, and you keep your own trash under lock and key as well.

So the government voted to release the 1,000 killers for Shalit, voted to release close to 70 of the worst kidnappers, torturers and murderers for NOTHING, but all of a sudden can't bring themselves to get Pollard out? Something stinks here!!

The dirty habit of releasing terrorists started by Israel own initiative, long long ago. So, this will be The Price for government to pay: Let Them go down, to downtown. A new government with LIBERMAN !

Spying on your biggest ally and protector and then demand unconditional release of your caught spy in a tone like this. Speaking of behaviour... i wonder how Katz deals with and speaks to his friends.

This idea of prisoner release for Pollard is wrong on so many levels. 1. Are we now negotiating with US, as our enemy? This kind of extortion is what we expect from enemies, not allies. Pollard has zero to do with PA. 2. Pollard should be released on moral grounds, proving US has become totally immoral. 3. The talks were wrong from the start and there's no point in prolonging them. The PA has had 20 years to accept our concessions and that's their way of negotiating. Hello, Muslims do not negotiate, nor do Arabs. They've gotten billions in cash from the world, with nothing given in return. They've still conducted terrorism against Israel. The West is being made a fool of. 4. Israel has every right to annex the disputed territory and throw the Arabs out. They've proven this has all been a charade and they don't really want another state. Since the US has now become our enemy, let's hold Kerry in Israel til Pollard goes free. We should charge Kerry for crimes against Israel. He's trying to destroy us.

Time for Bibi to man up and face up to the idiots - we all know that the reason that we have to release terrorists is because the idiots want us to pour millions more into the territories building in order to stop the talks - causing untold damage to the country. We owe it to our children to reach a historic compromise , to make every effort to save our country - and these idiots who want to turn us into a hated, boycotted de-ivested poverty stricken dump will do everything in their power to help Abbas. Call their blufff Bibi - make a stand - Be a man- you have been Prime Minister for years -time to do the job and lead

he comes up for parole next year anyway. that is why Kerry wants to offer his freedom now.

most corrupted US President ever. KEEP BUILDING !!!

don't forget that Shamir/Ahrens were not corrupt, but the rest were.

Bibi is an Actor. He is the only Good Hollywood actor. The rest are ok for today's Habima, not yesterday's HABIMA. Like Meir HarZion said, future palestate will be the beginning of the end of Israel. This was also a prediction and warning by Rabbi Meir Kahane. He was ridiculed, called 'nazi"... Let the Bigots FALL!

if Theodore Herzl knew that Israel will be ruled by stinky actors in the 21st century, he would never start his project of establishing a Jewish State in Palestine. Even Ben Gurion, if he knew how disgusting will be future Israeli "governments", he wouldn't want to proclaim Israel's independence in 1948. Briberies, Lies, Corruption..this is Israel's governments.

Pollard accepted his sentence so that the Israel official who hired Pollard to turn on his country would not go to jail. Pollarrd's wife who was also a traitor was given a pass. Israel turned their back on him and Israel left him in the driveway of the Embassy instead of allowing him an escape from justice. What I find amaiing that the usually smart Israel peope would make such a fuss over such a disgusting individual. He was paid for his actions. Israel offered him a lot of money to be a traitor to a country that provides so much. It makes one wonder how can any sane person get into the public saying this scum of an individual is somehow being mistreated. I actually have no really problem realeasing Pollard as long as he is hanged first

Obama the Muslim got his already.

The plan is to bring him to Israel and the Knesset can make him the next President,
