Done Deal~israel to Trade All 450 Palestinain Prisoners for Shalit

Well, the deal is done it would appear. Israel will trade all Palestinian prisoners for Shalit. I did a post about this the other day with a possible explanation of why they are doing this. Additionally, I would not trust Israel for one nano second not to have some evil plan to kill off some of these they plan to release. Perhaps mossad or yet another bombing run maybe? One wonders what the life span of those released will be. One wonders……..

Israeli PM says prisoner swap with Hamas decided on Monday 2009-03-15 18:27:02

Israel's outgoing Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Sunday said that his government would make on Monday its decision on a possible prisoner swap deal with Hamas.

Two high-ranking Israeli officials are now in Cairo for meetings with Egyptian mediators on the expected exchange, which would see the return of kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.

Hinting that progress has been made on the issue, which gathers increasing public attention, Olmert said that "until today, Hamas' position was far beyond what the most moderate figures that pressured and pushed for a deal with Hamas would have accepted."

Recently revealed bargaining showed that any exchange deal would see Israel free hundreds of Palestinian detainees from its jails in return, many of whom were involved in deadly attacks against Israelis.

Should a deal be reached and approved, the swap would begin with Israel releasing 300 prisoners and Hamas transferring Shalit to Egypt, which would be followed up with the release of 150 more Palestinian prisoners and the return of Shalit to Israel, according to Ha'aretz.　

My guess is that the additional 150 Palestinian prisoners will never see the light of day once Shalit is returned. What say you?

BREAKING NEWS~~AMERICAN SHOT BY ISRAELI ARMY

Israel is now shooting Americans.

American demonstrator critically wounded by IDF in Israel. But never mind, any American who has sympathy for Palestine is an enemy of Israel and a supporter of “terrorism”, well, according to Israel that is!! Remember Rachel Corrie????????

American badly hurt in clash with Israeli military
JERUSALEM (AP) — An American demonstrator was critically wounded Friday in a clash between protesters and Israeli troops over Israel's West Bank separation barrier.
Peace activists with the International Solidarity Movement said Tristan Anderson, of the Oakland, Calif., area, was struck in the head with a tear gas canister fired by Israeli troops. The military and the Tel Aviv hospital where Anderson was taken had no details on how he was hurt.
"He's in critical condition, anesthetized and on a ventilator and undergoing imaging tests," said Orly Levi, a spokeswoman at the Tel Hashomer hospital. She described Anderson's condition as "life-threatening."

Wake up America, these people are your enemy, they want to kill anyone who criticizes Israel, just like they murdered Rachel Corrie by running her over with an army bull dozer, now they are using bullets.

HAMAS Angry Over Rocket Attacks on Israel

Hamas criticizes recent rocket attacks on Israel. Says wrong time for rocket attacks as we are trying to create a united Palestinian government and broker a ceasefire with Israel. They say a splinter group called "Hezbollah of Palestine" carried out attacks. On March 5th Hamas arrested members of this group for continuing to carry out rocket attacks on Israel. Two reports below:

From the Herald Tribune:

The Islamic militant group Hamas made a rare criticism Thursday of Palestinian rocket fire on Israel, saying now is the wrong time as truce talks continue.
Hamas, which rules Gaza, appears to be concerned about disrupting talks for a long-term cease-fire with Israel or reconciliation talks with its West Bank-based moderate rival, Fatah.

the militant group said Thursday it has not been involved in recent rocket attacks, including two fired Wednesday.

"Regarding the report about rockets fired from Gaza, we emphasize that these rockets have no link to any of the Palestinian resistance groups and are being fired at the wrong time," the Hamas-controlled Interior Ministry said. "We emphasize also that the security agencies are following who are behind such acts."

And more in a second report from Xinhua here:

Hamas authorities in the Gaza Strip on Thursday slammed rocket attacks against Israel, pledging to stop them.

"The factions of resistance have no relations with the rockets that are being fired from Gaza. They are being fired in the wrong time and we confirm the security services are following up those who stand behind these rockets," Hamas' Interior Ministry said.

The statement of the ministry came after a new group calling itself "Hezbollah of Palestine" used to fire rockets against Israel almost every couple of days and claim responsibility for these attacks.

But sources from Hamas said the Hezbollah of Palestine was "a fake name used by more than one side to carry out actions away from the national understanding."

In February, Hamas has arrested a member of the local Hezbollah group for keeping firing rockets into Israel despite Hamas' willingness to broker a ceasefire with Israel.

The Hezbollah of Palestine first became public after a six-month fragile ceasefire between Hamas and Israel collapsed in December.
