why on earth does OLMERT give back ALIVE HAMAS PRISONERS in exchange for our dead Jewish brother soldiers?!Israel should send back DEAD Hamas prisoners.It’s time for a little payback no more Mr israel the nice guy and Hamas takes advantage of us.
dear basyisroel2,#1 on comment list.
you sound rather immature with your comment.
in the first place , ibelive over 250 arab bodies were part of the exchange .
secondly, it wasnt olmerts decision to give back or not it was the knesset vote, which approved this exchange.
thirdly , the isralis returnees were not killed , to the best of our knowledge recently . it may have been as a result of the war, or possibly killed while pow’s with the arabs , yemach shmon v’zichron.
the israelis had a tough decision and as in previous exchanges gave more than received.
lets hope that their are no wars in israel and peace should reign so that israel and its people may live with comfortable minds and spirit, with the coming of moshiach, bekorev.
