Israel will a few dead soldiers and release hundreds of live and kicking terrorists. Sounds like a fair deal...

I'm glad to see the deal. It's a good start. < :-)

WilliB: can you clarify your post? Are you saying that Israel will get the short end of the stick?

aday: "I'm glad to see the deal. It's a good start" I thought you were against the state of Israel.

If that's what they both want then it's a good deal for both of them.

Israel is getting ripped off again. Live terrorists for cadavers.

Don't see the point in it m'self.

Prisoner swaps and dead war casualties swaps. Freedom and being freed is big thing in any war.

34 day lebanon war(2006) some final end details, coming to conclusions.

Good hopes vibes, coming from these acts and Mediterranean Union proposals of EU.

It is good course of actions/deals in Mediterranean middle east by Lebanon,hezbollah and Israel.

skipthesong - Just because I'm against all that we've given Isreal doesn't mean I don't want to see some peaceful negotiations. I never look a gifted horse in the mouth. < :-)

Israel has made these exchanges in the past and it has cost the lives of many Israelis. Don't know why they keep making this same mistake as with Sheikh Ahmed Yassin:

Yassin was released by Israel in exchange for two Mossad agents who had been arrested by Jordanian authorities, on the condition that he refrain from continuing to call for suicide bombings against Israel. Following his release, Yassin resumed his leadership of Hamas. He immediately resumed his calls for attacks on Israel, using tactics including suicide bombings, thus violating the condition of his release.

Well...what else is the guy going to do. Open up a school? Get a job? Produce revenue for Palestinians? All jokes aside, I think it's pretty much assumed that those released will continue to recruit teenagers to be human bombs. I'm guessing that once you go down that path you never go back.
