Beyond "lunacy."

Reader comment on item: Thoughts on the Release of 104 Palestinian Murderers

Submitted by Shoshannah Somerville (Israel), Jul 28, 2013 at 16:45

Danny Danon may have called PM Netanyahu's releasing 104 murderous Palestinian prisoners a "lunacy," but I think it is beyond that. Apparently, the whole idea that the "ghetto mentality" of the Jews, or the aspect of our bending over and getting kicked by our enemies has not disappeared - as it was supposed to do with the establishment of Israel and our return. What a shame!

Maybe, the only way to justify what the PM is doing is to say that he is testing the situation from all angles. Yet, I am thinking that what is said of him - that he has a tendency to "cave in" - just happens to be true. That is even more shameful.!

Israeli citizens loudly protesting this whole negotiating process is not out of the question. Maybe, the lunacy would be halted.
