This war is just an abstraction for you. A vehicle to heap praise on your dear Messiah.Now the loons are praying for more war to break out between Hamas and Israel.
I'm probably the only person here with skin in the game; I have relatives who live in Israel. I have said for two years that Hamas should be eradicated and cannot be allowed to exist in Gaza.
Alongside joy for terror victims and their families, deal evokes fear and betrayal over release of hundreds of Palestinian terrorists
Some try to find empathy for hostages to be released while others point to Shalit agreement as evidence releasing attackers makes terrorism more rampantOn Tal Hartuv’s chest is a jagged scar, one of 18 stab wounds on her body from a brutal attack outside Jerusalem in 2010 that killed her friend. Next to the seven-centimeter (3-inch) mark rests a dog tag inscribed with the words “Our heart is captive in Gaza,” a popular symbol of support for a ceasefire deal exchanging Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners.
On Friday, as many were celebrating a deal between Israel and Hamas after two years of war, Hartuv read through the list of Palestinian prisoners set to be released and saw the name Iyad Hassan Hussein Fatafta. He was one of three men who tried to kill her and who were convicted of killing her friend Kristine Luken, an American who was visiting Israel as a tourist.
Survivors like Hartuv and families of those killed in attacks have faced a wrenching dilemma throughout the war: Should the killers of their loved ones go free, risking future attacks, or should hostages held in the Gaza Strip be left to their fate?
“I can feel thrilled and hopeful and joyful that our hostages are coming home,” said Hartuv, who changed her name as part of her rehabilitation. “But I can still feel angry, I can feel betrayed, I can feel hollow. They’re not mutually exclusive,” she said.
