Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert secretly agreed to free 150 jailed Palestinians when he met terrorist leader Abbas Saturday night – without the release of kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. (DEBKAfile Exclusive) The Israeli prime minister is casting about for ways to rush the promised concession through the government ahead of the Muslim Feast of Sacrifice Wednesday, Jan. 3, 2007. The step is likely to face substantial opposition from ministers and the public. DEBKA counter-terror sources disclose that the bulk of the 150 prisoners agreed upon are Fatah loyalists of the Palestinian leader, plus a few terrorists belonging to the Democratic Front and other small groups. The main two problems with this deal:
Abbas cannot promise any help to free Shalit from Hamas hands in the middle of their factional war, and Olmert cannot pretend that any gesture of support for Abbas will.
Furthermore, Israeli military and intelligence chiefs say that nothing will avail Abbas. So why do this?

Yazan does not wish to confront the facts, so he tries to be merry.
Unfortunately, his Muslim brothers made sure that the Christians in Gaza did not even hold their Midnight Mass, out of fear that the Muslims would wreak their terror on the local Christians.
Perhaps Yazan is one of those very terrorists ?!

Widsu repeats another myth. Israel pulled out of Gaza a year and a half ago. Israel thought that by leaving Gaza entirely in August 2005, that the Arabs would get their act together and develop their economy. Instead, the Arab have seen fit to launch thousands of missiles at Israel's civilian population, intending to kill as many citizens as possible.
Israel, on the other hand, is trying to live in peace. When they do attack, it is with the clear objective of silencing the Arab terrorists. By international law, Israel is totally justified in its quest to protect its citizens. The Arabs are in total violation of international law by unprovoked attacking of innocent civilians in Israel.

Israel gets too much pressure from the U.S. to rush into more and more lame-going-nowhere-deals. The U.S. better be care full and so should Olmert. When Olmert was mayor of Jerusalem he said that he would never allow such things and giving any of Jerusalem to the arabs for their capital. It seems now that he has had(or been given) a drastic change of heart.
No matter though. ERETZ YISRAEL!!!!!!
THANK YOU for this question!! It is SO nice to see others standing up for Israel in the face of growing animosity towards her from the world.

I guess you got your answer yesterday,when the Israeli government gave its OK for the building of a new settlement in the West Bank...The first official settlement since 1992...Again not much for the Palestinians and more land for Israel...
And of course they keep telling to the world that Israel will allow Palestinians to have their own independent state...Where?In Gaza?

Olmert definitely has his problems. He's doing several errors. I personally would love to see Netanyahu get back in as Prime Minister or Israel will lose everything. PEACE!!!

There is nothing to give Israel ..Israel already took their land, natural resources and human rights what else do they want...How about unoccupying the occupied territories.

Israeli's have always been on the defense not the offense. Peace is truly what they want.
