isreal between rock and hard place. they have to show critics that they are making an effort to "work things out" and still keep hizbullah at bay. that's what the mossad is for.
there are ways to make sure released terrorist don't cause any harm in the future. and the deeath will be ruled "natural causes".
this is just sympathy politics.
to the guy who quoted mao-carl marx said"religion is the opium of the masses"not moa-read a book! -

isreal is caught between a rock and hard place, but this is why there is the "mossad".
there are ways to make sure a swapped prisoner won't be a threat in the future-and an autopsey will show "death by natural cuases".
this is just simpathy politics. -

Wat God would encourage, condone the killing of innocents? Wat God would command his followers to kill all non-moslems, unless they convert? None that I know. Salman Rushdie raised an interesting point, and Chairman Mao was certainly on target when he said "religion is the opium of the people" as you can apply that observation to the wahhabbi moslems. This is a brawl for it all people, our very way of life being threatened. Wake up GERMANY, ITALY, SPAIN..and FRANCE. At least the French have combat [Spec. Ops] troops and aircraft in theatre. When was the last time GERMANY dropped a bomb in anger? I guess thats why they refer to Europe as "Eurabia"...

Comment: I think McCain will make a great president, now here's an excerpt from the book THE EPOCH POINT by Spencer Zimmerman, available on amazon.com:
Chapter 16 Nehemiah
The burning sun beats down on the harsh Arabian Desert, heating the sand until it is searing to the touch. An old man of 49 sits astride a camel, dressed in layers of flowing white cloth and wearing a turbine, his body weak and aching in pain from the year of sorrows he has chosen to embark upon. His name is Muhammad; he proclaims himself a prophet and he is on his way to the city of Mecca during the sixth century after Christ.
During this year of sorrows he has encouraged his followers to endure persecution, beatings, poverty and hunger, in order to become stoic and indifferent to pleasure and pain. He himself jettisoned from his own clan, alone in the desert without protection, so he too may become detached from distracting emotions.
As Muhammad rides on he mutters to himself, ???Release thyself from emotions, become indifferent to pleasure and pain, do not feel compassion or sympathy.???
Death has been no stranger to Muhammad, and neither has the devil, which killed his father six months before he was born in order to raise young Muhammad himself. The spirit of Satan has dwelled in Muhammad from conception, yet he strives to conceal it, shunning the evil force. It lies in his left hand, yet he fights it with his right, for there is a bit of goodness in this human being. Just as the earth is a battle ground between good and evil, so is his body.
Now, as Muhammad travels toward the city of Mecca, Satan rides with him, tempting and enticing the prophet with schemes to make the Islamic conversion of Mecca simpler and swifter. He promises the prophet lust with three goddesses in return for a few words in the Koran.
"Muhammad," Satan prods, "Have you not heard of Allat, Al-Uzza, and Manat? The three beautiful goddesses of Mecca?"
"Leave me Satan!"
"You surely have heard of the three fairest goddesses in all of Arabia!" laughs the devil, ???For their legs are long and their waists thin and their bosoms bulging, and yes, their faces are as fair as angels!"
"Be gone you demon!" -

Comment: I think McCain will make a great president, now here's an excerpt from the book THE EPOCH POINT by Spencer Zimmerman, available on amazon.com:
"Be gone?" laughs Satan, "I cannot, I am a part of you Muhammad!"
"God, help me!" yells Muhammad.
"I am your god Muhammad!" snarls Satan, "The Holy Spirit has his Son, and now I have mine!"
"Jesus forgive me!" cries Muhammad.
"It would be so much easier if you would just follow along and do as I command you!" complains Satan, "We have so many more important things to infuse into this new religion of mine! Like this Jihad idea I have, the holy war to come. What do you think should be the number of virgins awaiting the Jihadist in hell? Ha, Ha, Ha, I mean heaven."
"Why am I tormented by you Satan?"
"Why, you killed your mother when you were 6, your grandfather when you were 8, and your wife and uncle just the other day!" laughs Satan, "And you have the audacity to ask why I am here?"
"You did those things beast!"
"Well maybe I possessed you a little, but I always knew you had it in you!"
The devil continues to whisper into Muhammad???s ear, convincing the prophet to reject monotheism and embrace the three goddesses of Mecca.
Eventually Muhammad reaches Mecca and a crowd soon assembles. The prophet begins to speak.
"Have you thought of the goddesses Allat and al-Uzza and Manat the third, the other. These are the exalted Numidian cranes, whose intercession is hoped for."
Those words, uttered with the hope of converting the people of Mecca to Islam, are known as the Satanic Verses. -

The assumption is that Israel is good, Arabs (Palestinians) are bad. Not true.
Another assumption is that the Palestinians are terrorists and the Israelies merely defend themselves. Again, not true.
A further assumption is that Israel is an accepted state, a fait accompli, and therefore opposition against the State is criminal. Again, not true.
The State of Israel is a political construct the legitimacy of which is established, preserved and extended over various territories by force of armed against the political aspirations of the Palistinain people who occupy those territories. The legitimacy of the existence of Israel with its concomitant oppression of the Palestinians is predicated upon force of arms. Thus, no matter what form it takes, since before 1948 and continuing to the present day, Palestinians must fight for their survival having learned that such is only obtainable by continuous armed strugggle in the face of oppressive armed occupation.
The incident that led to the Israeli aggression against Lebanon in 2006 was not a response to the abduction of two Israeli soldiers. Rather, it was an advanced joint US-Israeli invasion sent to occupy southern Lebanon and Syria in preparation for an attack on Iran via southern Iraq. This aggression was thrwarted by Hizbullah. -

May I please make a remark and ask a question ?
Remark : Since you cited Maimonides ( by the way, his real name is Mousa Ibn Maimoun ) objectivity should have compelled you to inform the readers of your article , since only a few of them have ever heard of him , that he enjoyed absolute freedom of faith and thought under Islamic rule in Spain and Egypt , and that he wrote in both Hebrew and Arabic .
Question : You wrote that 40000 Arabs ( you should have called them Palestinians ) are detained as prisoners by Israel , so who is the terrorist ?
