Israel once again showed an act of good faith towards the Palestinians by releasing 57 Palestinian prisoners (terrorists) today. Most of the prisoners released were members of Hamas, but a spokesman for Hamas dismissed Monday’s prisoner release as insignificant.
“We congratulate the prisoners,” said Mohammed al-Mudhoun a senior aid to Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of the Hamas government in Gaza. “We consider this … a humiliation for the leadership in Ramallah that considers this humble number a great achievement.”
I’m sure this act of good faith by Israel will be rewarded with a thank you note in the form of a suicide bombing, but I don’t mean to sound cynical.
