Of course: The 'Palestinians' say it's blackmail so Israel sweetens the deal
The 'Palestinians' rejected as 'blackmail' an Israeli proposal to release 420 terrorists to be chosen by Israel and partially freeze 'settlement' construction in exchange for the 'Palestinians' continuing talks and the United States releasing hostage Jonathan Pollard from confinement.
So Israel has sweetened the deal.
A reported American offer revealed to Arutz Sheva on Tuesday, by which Jonathan Pollard would be released in exchange for over 400 Israeli-held Arab terrorists, including arch-terrorist Marwan Barghouti, was sharply denounced by Judea and Samaria's Yesha Council.Yes, that's right. Lifer x 5 Marwan Barghouti (the cockroach in the middle) is now part of the deal.
In response to the plans, Yesha Council released a statement on Tuesday afternoon, declaring "the submission to Arab blackmail and American bribery through the use of Pollard is a disgrace. Freezing building and freeing murderers is not a new patent."
"The government of Israel has already frozen (building) and released murderers several times, but the Palestinian leadership isn't interested in peace, but rather steps up its demands and requests more and more murderers," noted the statement.
Yesha Council strongly denounced the "extortion," calling on government ministers to oppose the "shameful deal," and in doing so "not to submit to American pressure and bribery."
The statement clarified the Council's ardent desire for Pollard's release, but noted "making the joy of the day of his release dependent on the mourning of the bereaved families whose loved ones' murderers are released is an unforgivable act."
"The Palestinians are extorting, the Americans are bribing, and the one paying the price is the government of Israel in the name of us, the citizens," concluded the council.The 'Palestinians' agree. They are proud of their successful blackmail.
Let's go to the videotape.
But there's more to it than that. The 'Palestinians' aren't at the table to make peace. They're at the table to release terrorists.
And Obama-Kerry are the 'Palestinians' willing lackeys. I hope they share Arafat's fate.Senior PA leader Nabil Shaath explained already in November and again in December 2013, that the reason the PA has not "stopped negotiations," is because the PA wants to first fulfill its goal of having all the prisoners Israel arrested before the Oslo Accords released.Israel agreed to release the 104 terrorists from prison because it was the Palestinian Authority's precondition for starting negotiations at all. But Fatah's spokesman calling the release of the prisoners "blackmail," together with Shaath's statement that they are just waiting for the prisoners to be released before they stop the negotiations, indicates that for the PA, the current round of peace talks may have been a charade.Israel has already released 78 of the prisoners, and has not yet announced if it will release the remaining 26.

I don't get why people talk about Barghouti like just another terrorist. He was the head of the Al-Aqsa Martyr's Brigades, for goodness sake! Didn't they carry out more suicide bombings than Hamas?
His bones ought to be left to rot in their cell long after he is given the death penalty. I *would* say that, but I won't, since I'm pretty sure it would be against Jewish law (the rotting, that is - not the death penalty, which should definitely be administered ASAP).
