We’re not the only ones with Catch and release programs, it appears.
RAMALLAH, West Bank —-AP- [1] Israel released more than 250 Palestinian prisoners Friday in a gesture to embattled President Mahmoud Abbas, who pledged not to rest until Israel’s jails were emptied of its thousands of Palestinians.
The release was meant to bolster Abbas in his power struggle with the Islamic militant Hamas, which took control of Gaza by force last month.
This “gesture” seems ill advised at the very least. Granted, that Hamas is a problem. But the best I can tell you is that the only difference between Hamas and Fatah, is the speed with which they will kill off Israelis, individually, and Israel as a country.
Or has that situation changed? Has Fatah sworn off it’s desire to push Israel off the face of the map?
