Report: Hamas bends on Shalit deal
2006-10-28
Hamas is awaiting Israel's response to the latest deal proposed by the organization for captured IDF soldier Cpl Gilad Shalit's release, the London-based Al-Hayat newspaper reported on Friday. Reportedly, the Hamas leadership has withdrawn its demand that concurrent with Shalit's release, Palestinian security prisoners would be immediately released by Israel. Instead, Hamas is said to be willing to free Shalit, and wait two months for Israel to release some 1000 prisoners.

Al-Hayat claimed that Hamas leader-in-exile Khaled Mashaal was expected to hear Israel's response to the proposal when he travels from Damascus to Cairo next week to meet with head of Egyptian intelligence Omar Suleiman. Moussa Abu Marzouk, a top Hamas official, denied the report. "There is no official invitation to Cairo. There is no one heading to Cairo now," he told The Associated Press.

#5  If those dipshits release 1000 murderers for one dumbass private

Hooooooooha!
Hell yes, let the Jews send the bullet to kill him. It would quicken things up and make many people happy, like yourself.

Dumb fuck privates, why do they keep dying?

#4  Do they want to get rid of these bozos for some reason?

Could be. Many of them are Fatah men, and Hamas has assembled huge numbers of foreign reinforcements in the fight to control Gaza. Israel may want to even the odds there.

#2  If those dipshits release 1000 murderers for one dumbass private, then I can't feel sorry for them anymore when one of the 1000 blows himself up in a bus or a market. I'd release them, at 10,000 feet, from a C-5 flying over Gaza.

#1  The deal seems lopsided to me. Do they want to get rid of these bozos for some reason?
