#3 The way this type of logic gets fixed is by placing an indemnity on the agreement in such that if Hamas violates the agreement one of Adam Boehler children's lives is forfeited.

Harsh, but makes them have skin in the game so that their decisions are a bit more based in reality so that they suffer the consequences of their foo-foo wuu-wuu fantasies.

#4 Hamas knows that if they really release all the hostages, Israel will have no reason to hold back.

#6 I'm sure Hamas also offered to change their charter so that it no longer calls for the elimination of Israel, right?

Right?

#7 If Hamas offered to change its charter, that would be taqqiya as well. Unfortunately, their reputation as untrustworthy is well-earnt. Any agreement with them needs sharp teeth — really, it should be that every dead hostage can be traded only for a single dead Palestinian, and if there are none already available, then the next in line will be stood up and shot at the exchange. For fairness, you see.

#8 it should be that every dead hostage can be traded only for a single dead Palestinian

Like for like seems reasonable, but the established exchange rate is something one Juice for a thousand Paleos. Given the surplus of jailed terrorists, it should be no problem to brew up sufficient deaders. The only question is whether Hamass wants them in bulk or individually wrapped.

#9 So true, SteveS, but it seemed a bit harsh to actually say it aloud.

#10 How about dumped out the back of a C-130 to rain down upon Gaza? With tasty bits of dead pigs inside?
