No hostage release without 'Israeli Arab' terrorists
A senior Israeli government official told Channel 2 Saturday that, despite the ultimatum of Jewish Home (Bayit Yehudi) Chairman Naftali Bennett to leave the government over the issue, "there will be no deal [for peace talks to resume or free Jonathan Pollard] if Israeli-Arab terrorists are not released."
Official progress on peace talks from Israel remains somewhat murky, with no unilateral declaration that a deal has or has not been made.
But several top officials from left-wing or center-left parties - including HaTnua, Labor, and Yesh Atid - have threatened to leave the government entirely and go to elections in the event that a deal is not struck between Israel, the US, and the Palestinian Authority (PA) to continue the peace process.If there was any prospect of the 'talks' leading anywhere, there might at least be something to discuss. But given that nearly everyone admits that the 'peace process' is going nowhere, why bother?

If Jonathan Pollard is an American hostage, what then is Mordechai Vanunu? How do you write apologies & excuses about Pollard's conduct, but turn a blind eye to Vanunu's treatment?
The US was never is never going to release Pollard. Not now not after 30 years not even. When he dies in prison they won't even release his body for a proper burial. Everyone knows that. It's important to understand this and move on from that.
