Olmert's Hands: Washed in Blood
Israel has just released another 200 terrorist prisoners as a “goodwill gesture" to Holocaust denier Mahmoud Abbas.
Again.
Because all the confidence building measures in the past have worked out so well.
The results of this cowardly policy are clear: close to two-hundred Jews have been murdered by terrorists released from Israeli prisons. This figure does not include those Jews who have been grievously wounded and disfigured.
This case is even more odious as Olmert released two Arab Muslim terrorists who have blood—a lot of Jewish blood—on their hands.
Well, after releasing child murderer Samir Kuntar, why not?
As Joshua Pundit writes:
Two of this particular group bear special mention as an example of the kind of people Olmert is releasing to a hero's welcome among the Palestinians. Muhammad Abu Ali murdered two people. In 1980, he killed Yehoshua Saloma (Hy"d) in Hebron, a young Yeshiva student studying in the Kiryat Arba Yeshiva. Saloma, a new immigrant from Sweden, walked into Hebron from Kiryat Arba to buy some dried fruits for the upcoming Tu B’Shvat holiday. While he was shopping, he was brutally ambushed from behind. Ali later murdered a fellow prisoner while he was in jail.
Said Al-Ataba masterminded an attack on the Petach Tivka market in 1977 that wounded dozens and took the life of an Israeli woman, Tzila Galili, (Hy"d).
Both of them are now free to kill again. And that's not merely a figure of speech.At least 180 Israelis and counting have been murdered by terrorists who had been released from Israeli jails, and that doesn't take into account those that were arrested or killed in an attempt.
Is Gilad Schalit's return from cruel captivity in Gaza part of this deal?
Of course not.
As always with the Arabs, Israel makes suicidal concessions and the world press labels Israel intransient.
The Arabs maintain maximalist positions, and Israel just keeps surrendering blood, treasury and land in the vain hope that the Arabs will eventually give up their genocidal dreams.
But why should they? The Israeli left has turned Israeli into the battered wife. No matter how badly she is beaten, it's always her fault.
Ironic position for leftists to take, huh?
But on the left, compassion rarely extends to Jews and never to Israel.
Olmert, Livni and Barak have turned appeasement and surrender into a finely tuned dhimmitude. The Israeli government and their leftist enablers have become the new Judenrat, self-righteous kapos who determinedly keep sacrificing Jewish lives to the chimera of peace.
There will only be peace when the Arabs have been defeated, utterly and completely. As America defeated Japan and Germany during World War II.
For a detailed analysis of the prisoner release read this paper.
Here's what needs to be done:
1. Israel must institute the death penalty as punishment for terrorism. Arab Muslim terrorists aspire to be new Eichmanns. Israel should reward them with that Nazi's well deserved fate.
2. Terrorists must never be released unless they have served their entire sentences, or they are in a box.
3. When terrorists who have been released from Israeli prisons commit further crimes, those who ordered their release should be prosecuted as accessories to murder.
Hat Tip: Soccer Dad.

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
I am trying to make contact with Robert Avrech. Please respond,

agree 100%,
but can it be realistically expected from the Israeli left ?
but here's something that might go over with them:
when releasing them,
make statements that they have renounced their terrorist ways, have supported Israel's right to exist,
and have been very supportive in providing useful information to the IDF
then let the welcoming terrorists kill them ...

Robert,
Glad you are home....
Hope you had a good time.
I just rolled my eyes when I read about this nonsense; I agree with your proposals, however, the Israeli public doesnt have the will to enact the necessary changes.

Stupid is as stupid does.
Someone needs to hang these idiots from the highest tree by the neck.
Madness! Pure Madness!
