It is time for IDF and police to adopt and implement a revised policy, even if it cannot be officially sanctioned. Take no more terrorist prisoners. They all die “resisting arrest”. Reduce the number of prisoners (and court expenses) so there is less of an incentive to kidnap hostages.

Wider peace prospects? Letting over a thousand murderers will bring that on ? He need to be dismissed along with everyone else that hates Israel.

No, he is completely naive and wrong. Israel made this heart-wrenching decision only because it cares deeply about the lives of its own whereas its enemies routinely celebrate the brutal murders of children and families. This terrorist mind-set was on sickening display: Gilad was joyfully welcomed home while Palestinian fanatics were just happy to see their symbols of “resistance” freed and ready to kill again. How could Israel’s unique concern for its people–which contrasts so starkly with the utter disregard for life consistently displayed by Israel’s enemies–help bring about peace? It takes two to tango, and Israel’s enemies are clearly interested only in destruction, not in peace.

Either Ban Ki-Moon is stupid or is completely out of touch with what the real problem is. There will never be peace in the Middle East as long as Israel’s enemies refuse to recognize her and stop their attempts to destroy her, there can be NO peace, period.
The whole world is suffering from a bad case of cranial/rectal inversion., Of course, since they breath nothing but methane, how can they see things as they are? Suppose Canada and Mexico refused to recognize the United States and wanted to destroy her. How long would the good old USA allow either country to send in rockets into cities such as Houston, San Antonio, Dallas/Fort Worth, Buffalo, Detroit, etc. without taking action to stop them. How many rockets would they take before taking action? Perhaps ten thousand? Maybe five thousand. One hundred? Okay, the real answer is ONE.
WHY does the world always hold Israel to a higher standard than any other country? Should we just lay back and take anything the damned Arabs wish to shove down our throats? No other country would, why do they expect Israel to have infinite patience? As far as I’m concerned the “United Arab Nations” can go to hell; they are a waste of time.

I do not believe Ban Ki-Moon is either stupid or out of touch-
What I do believe is the fear of Islam that is moving around the world to-day.
With now 58 Muslim countries out of about 200 in the world- And the Arab states with the advantage of the oil- Appeasement is the order of the day.
Under all circumstances regarding Israel- If its something good a in this case then the Islamists must be included in the good part- If its something bad about Hamas then they have to counter it with something bad about Israel. Example- Hamas fires rockets into S`rdot- So Israel responds- Thats bad!

I don’t know what Ban Ki-Moon is smoking? But then again – maybe it is only logical for such seriously deluded comments to come from the individual who represents such a seriously dis-functional organisation.

As his name reveals, he belongs to the clan of lunatics. I hear the Saudi pay off to UN members is quite generous and always upward. The Saudis do nothing for their people,
so where is the oil check going. Certainly into their own Swiss accounts and naturally into
the middle east departments of practically all US colleges and universities (Canadian, too)
and shopping for good deals in the UN. What do you expect?
