#1 Fine. Start offing a Hamas prisoner each day until they change their minds.

#2 Fuck all. 1,000 prisoners in exchange? Start offing TEN Hamas terrorists every day. Just for kicks.

#3 Internal Palestinian fighting is a red line that should never be crossed

of course, no mention of suicide bombings, rockets into civilian areas, weapons smuggling, etc . . .

#4 THere is a term (I can't remember) in economics. Basically, it says that it's equivalent to offer +X as it is to offer not to do –X.

So, offering to not kill 1000 terrorists in return for the hostage is economically equivalent to offering to turn them over.
