PA demands terrorist release as gesture
The 'Palestinian Authority' is demanding the release of dozens of terrorists, who are currently held in Israeli jails, as a gesture to appease them in the event that the 'direct talks' continue in the absence of a 'settlement freeze.' Mounir Mansour, the head of the Palestinian Prisoners Committee, said that Israel has yet to respond to the Palestinian Authority's request.What could go wrong?
Mansour said that PA President Mahmoud Abbas wants to successfully broker the release of Palestinian prisoners in order to improve his image on the Palestinian street which would give him a mandate to continue peace talks with Israel.
He added that this would only constitute an intermediary measure and that in a final peace agreement the Palestinian Authority would expect the release of all 7,000 Palestinian prisoners being held in Israeli prisons.
Mansour stated that the release of all Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails as part of an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement would be independent of any deal to release kidnapped IDF soldier Gilad Schalit.

Idiots!!!! I'm beginning to think that they agree to get involved in 'peace talks' every few years just to get their fellow terrorists out of jail.
Let's see: the Palestinians attempt to murder Jewish families and have done so and now they want Israel to release those with Jewish blood on their hands as a "gesture for peace." This from the same people who reject any compromise with or recognition of Israel as a Jewish State.
The Palestinians' chutzpah is really showing. Israel should turn their demand down.
Why is it there are no Palestinain concessions in this round of peace talks?
