Hamas promises info on KIA soldiers, if Israel frees terrorists
2015-12-14
Hostages serve multiple purposes for jihadis, all of them evil...
[IsraelTimes]
It is not clear if Hamas was genuinely trying to have Shaul’s family believe he was still alive, or if the letter was simply a sadistic ploy; in either case, it is likely that it was meant to spur greater willingness on Israel’s part to negotiate.
The Paleostinian terrorist Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, organization told The Times of Israel on Sunday evening that it is willing to reveal information about two IDF soldiers, whose bodies it is believed to be holding, if Israel releases some of its operatives currently being held in prison.

Hadar Goldin and Oron Shaul fell during last summer's 50-day military campaign, Operation Protective Edge, against Hamas in Gazoo. Neither body was recovered and Israel has classed both soldiers as "killed in action."

#3  Yup, I only trade like-for-like. If they provide info on KIAs, I provide info on dead terrorists. They want info on live terrorists? They have to provide info on live prisoners.

Same rule for exchanges: if they trade the bodies of Israeli soldiers I give them the bodies of dead terrorists. If I don't have any dead terrorists to trade, I make some.

#2  Dear Israel:

Seems counterproductive. The KIA are in a better place now, and so are the terrorists. The status quo seems called for.

#1  Castrate the terrorists and cut off their arms and legs, blind them. Then give them back.
