| 18 Hamas lawmakers ordered released |
| 2006-09-12 |
| An Israeli military court on Tuesday ordered the release of 18 Hamas lawmakers, including three Cabinet ministers. Also, a spokesman for the outgoing Hamas-led administration said the group is prepared to back peace efforts with Israel as part of the new coalition government being formed by the Palestinians. The men ordered released will remain behind bars for at least two more days pending an appeal by prosecutors. The court is scheduled to issue a final ruling on Thursday. The Israeli army arrested more than two dozen Hamas lawmakers since June after militants in Gaza linked to the group attacked a military post, capturing an Israeli soldier. The military court said the lawmakers should be freed on bail while their trials continue. |

| #8 And the brass seems not to be too adverse to surrenderring, IE "too important to sacrifice themselves for the Cause"... and they send their loved ones away in private schools or similar safe havens, not into local suicide missions. |

| #7 Nope. How can you strike terror in the hearts of people who crave death? By giving them a death with no meaning. |

| #5 "They should begin executing one of these Hamas terrorists each day until they get their soldiers back." Abductions for trade-bait followed with the threat of execution if demands arenÂ’t met. It might just work. Then again it's a positively Terroristic approach. |

| #4 Israel has obviously lost its will to live. They should begin executing one of these Hamas terrorists each day until they get their soldiers back. |
