#6  Is this capitulation to an extortionist demand or a prudent calculation based on a likely outcome? Seems to me, now is not the time to place over-emphasis on principle when making these decisions. With a single issue you may paint yourself into a corner adding decades to resolve multiple concflicts.

#3  This is like paying kidnappers ransom money. The dollars are only going to be used to fund terror. At a minimum it lets other dollars that are flowing into Ham-Ass be used for terror while this money is used to buy felafal, pita and hummus.
