Once again the sleaze show themselves.
We will see if the world forces them to honor this deal.
It will be interesting to see all the Zio-whores running for POTUS falling all over themselves defending this horrid breach of honor.


The second part of the agreement - to release another 550 Palestinians after the return of Gilad Shalit - may be abandoned

by John Glaser, January 05, 2012

Israel may betray its earlier promise to release hundreds of Palestinian prisoners (http://old.news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20120105/ap_on_re_mi_ea/ml_israel_prisoner_swap) in the second phase of a prisoner swap agreement that secured the release of one captive Israeli soldier.
That agreement has already resulted in the release of 477 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for Gilad Shalit (http://news.antiwar.com/2011/10/11/prisoner-swap-israel-hamas-agree-to-trade-captives/), the Israeli soldier held captive by Hamas for five years. That first exchange took place in October, and Israel had agreed to release another 550 – a total of 1,027 – within two months of Shalit’s release.
But now a government-appointed panel in Israel recommended in a secret report Thursday to back out of the deal. Defense Minister Ehud Barak would not divulge details of the report but said Israel has “no choice but to overhaul the rules” now that Sgt. Gilad Schalit has been freed.
The second half of Palestinian prisoners, some of whom are children and minors, are reportedly serving sentences for “security offenses,” not for violent attacks or for being part of either Hamas or Islamic Jihad.
Many are political prisoners. The Israel Defense Forces apply what is called the administrative detention policy (http://original.antiwar.com/frykberg/2011/08/10/palestinian-prisoners-languish-in-administrative-detention/), which allows Palestinian political prisoners to be held for six months without charge or trial. Detention orders can be renewed every six months.
“It’s a primitive and racist way to hold a trial,” Qadura Fares, the president of the Palestinian Society Prisoners’ Club in Ramallah, told InterPress Services in August (http://original.antiwar.com/frykberg/2011/08/10/palestinian-prisoners-languish-in-administrative-detention/), “and no civilized country in the world uses such methods. Needless to say, Israel’s legal system could never do this to an Israeli Jew. Even the Israeli settlers who carry out acts of terror against Palestinians in the West Bank are not treated in this manner.”

there was an interview on the radio at the time of the Shamon's release.

basically to the effect that, although the numbers seemed outrageous & disproportionate (to the Conscience-less Israeli's), that the purpose was to send a message to IDF soldiers - that the Israeli government would make every effort to secure the release of a kidnapped soldier.

also that they wanted to send this message before an attack on Iran.

anyway, Mission Accomplished, from IsraHell's point of view. they got the 1 soldier back, and they screwed Palestine.
