#1 There must be some dynamic there that doesn't translate well to our society.
If the wanted a prisoner swap for the kid, I'd tell them to 'pick one'.
But alas, they have already set the precedent, and when you look at it objectively, I guess one Israeli is worth about 1200 Paleostains.

#2 You know, they need to work this math differently for it to be effective. Instead of releasing 225 Paleo prisoners for one Israeli, they need to say they'll KILL 225 Paleos--and feed the remains to pigs--if the Israeli isn't released. What's more, if another Israeli is kidnapped, the price goes up to 450 Paleo dead. Do that and I guarantee they'll stop kidnapping Israelis. These people understand force; in fact, it's about the only thing they DO understand.

#3 You know, the exact thought occurred to me more than once before, but my numbers were a little different. 1,000 at least.
