Israel is apparently on the point of swapping one thousand and twenty seven Palestinian terrorists and criminals (including murderers and rapists), from its jails, in return for the handing over of one of its soldiers captured by Hamas in 2006 ....

| Gilad Shalit - Worth Freeing A Thousand Terrorists? |
Obviously the family of the soldier Gilad Shalit think that this is a
price worth paying, but surely this has now set a hostage value of
around 1,000 to 1, for every Israeli citizen captured by Palestinians?
According the BBC report, included in the 1,000 to be released are the following:
- Nasser Iteima: Helped bomb Netanya hotel in 2002 - 30 people killed.
- Walid Anjes: Helped bomb Moment cafe in Jerusalem in 2002 - 11 people killed.
- Yehia Sanwar: A founder of Hamas militant wing. Serving multiple life sentences.
- Jihad Yaghmour: Took part in execution of Israeli solder Nachson Waxman in 1994.
- Mohammed al-Sharatha: A leader of the elite Hamas 101 unit. Multiple life terms.
- Nael Barguti: Arrested in April 1978 and convicted of role in death of Israeli soldier.
- Rawhi al-Mushtaha: Senior Hamas leader. Multiple life sentences.
- Amna Muna: Serving life for luring an Israeli teenager to his death.
And in an indication that these are not reformed characters, Ahlam Tamimi an assistant suicide bomber who is being released said when asked, that she had no remorse for her action .... "No, why should I?" Her actions killed fifteen people, and maimed many more.

| 1000 Terrorists Will Soon Be Free Again |
However, there is one thing that the Palestinian terrorists may not have calculated and its this, if one live Israeli 'hostage' is worth a thousand terrorists freedom, then every dead Israeli citizen must be worth a revenge of 1,000 'dead terrorists', or does the maths only work one way in Hamas minds?
I can't help thinking that there will be a lot of innocent blood flowing as a result of this decision ....
