Israel Matzav

Is Santa Claus coming to Gaza?

I know it's out of season, but as the song goes the 'Palestinians' are:

making a list,
checking it twice,
gotta find out
who's naughty or nice.

Arutz Sheva is reporting that the 'Palestinians' have submitted a list of 1300 'prisoners' they want released in return for the release of kidnapped IDF soldier Gilad Shalit.

A large number of the terrorists, many of whom have been serving long terms in Israeli prisons for their crimes, have "blood on their hands." In the past, Israeli governments have refused to release such prisoners,

Among those whose release is being demanded is Marwan Barghouti, serving five life sentences for his role in the murder of more than 30 Jews.

The Jerusalem Post reports that the Prime Minister's office has confirmed receipt of the list.

I told you all two months ago what I think of releasing 'Palestinian' terrorists from jail in exchange for Gilad Shalit or anyone else. For those who did not see that post, I strongly suggest that you read it. However, given that the Olmert-Peretz-Livni government thinks that the only thing standing between us and the wolves lying down with the sheep is the release of Gilad Shalit, I would bet that in some form or other this deal will happen unless the government falls before it can carry it out.
