#2 None of the prisonersâthe first of 900 to be freed in coming weeksâhad been found guilty of attacks that killed or injured Israelis. Most had already served at least two-thirds of their sentences.

So these men would have been released soon enough anyway. This way Israel gets a PR bonus, and the idiots are free to take part in current PA "politics" until they get themselves killed or Israel arrests them again. And Israel saves the cost of feeding them in the meantime. Not bad.

#4 Someone needs to start the rumor that the wall is radioactive, and anyone getting within 300 feet of it will be sterile forever. Let the Israelis continue to build until there's a wall between them and all the paleodupes.

#5 even better - the releasees were implanted with GPS/listening chips. Oh the fun! Finding all the non-existent chips with machetes and butcher knives, when they could've just read snopes....LOL
