Ah, the lovely sound of Palestinian terrorists hating on each other: Looks like there’s trouble in prison over the swap. It seems that most of the West Bank terrorists will be heading to other places (and other countries), while most Gaza terrorists can go home to their families. All together now: Awwwwww.
Gosh darn it! Looks like Mahmoud Abbas not only failed to convince Colombia to vote his way, but also France. That UNSC resolution creating the fictional statelet of East Palestine? Not gonna happen.
How the deal happened: Read it in full to see why there’s suddenly a prisoner swap after five years of nothing. And here’s the timeline, assuming Hamas doesn’t break the deal at the last minute. I don’t think they can. The Palestinians are too excited, too ready to welcome home their heroic child-killers, for Hamas to do anything to prevent the deal from going forward. I can only assume that Israel got proof of life for Shalit, because if he comes home dead, there will be a new government in Israel by next week. This does not, of course, prevent Ha’aretz from having the vapors over the possibility of Iran breaking the deal. (Yes, I know, Ha’aretz = lefty mag that only Americans and Westerners read, but still.)
Ah, the lovely sound of Palestinian lobbyists and politicians hating on each other: Awesome. The Palestinian UN bid has got them to cut ties with one of their American lobbies. I love it when they fight with each other; there’s that much less time to fight with Israel.
They can always meet up with their families in hell. Soon, I hope.
‘The talks were usually held in Cairo at the Intelligence Ministry. Meidan and the Israeli delegation would sit in one building and Awadallah and the Hamas delegation in another. The Egyptians would move back and forth with messages and instructions.”
Hamas people are still terrified of Jew cooties, I see.
If Shalit comes back dead, Israel should have a series of machine guns ready and shoot dead all the Arab prisoners being exchanged. If one live Jewish soldier is worth one thousand live Arab terrorists, then one dead Jewish soldier should be worth one thousand dead Arab terrorists.
