"It seems that Santa Olmert has lots more in his sack of free goodies for our enemies.

"On top of the $100 million dollars he paid for the photo-op with Abbas, and the gift of thousands of automatic rifles for the unrepentant Holocaust-denier's 'Force 17' presidential guard, there now looks to be a unilateral release of hundreds of security prisoners.

"All of this bonhomie - as usual - for nothing in return.
Not the release of our kidnapped soldiers.
Or even the release of a letter or tangible sign of life and wellbeing.

"Apart from being the most incompetent and arrogant prime minister that Israelis never elected, Ehud Olmert has demonstrated, within his few short months in power, how very little he cares for ordinary Israelis: be they citizens or soldiers. No caring prime minister would have gone to the lengths of unleashing a bloody Cossack attack on pliant settlers in Amona just to impress his wife and to show us how he could be tougher than even Ariel Sharon. And no caring commander-in-chief would announce the future surrender of settlement towns to our enemies even as their residents were fighting his disastrous war in Lebanon.

"What caring prime minister could contemplate releasing Marwan Barghouti?
An unrepentant murderer of our people, sentenced to 5 life terms.
"It is a near-certainty that the release of this animal will not only bring about more killing but will also embolden other killers to take ever-greater risks in terrorizing our people, knowing that they can be assured of due process and a life-sentence that means nothing.

"But why should Olmert care?
He doesn't ride buses. He doesn't go to discos or buy pizzas.
In fact he doesn't go anywhere that hasn't been sanitized by his security detail.
And that security protection will be with him long after he has been kicked out of office.

"So, I challenge Mr Olmert to prove that he does care about the security of ordinary Israelis.
Let him convince us that he is prepared to take the same risks as his citizens.

"If he is so foolish as to release Mr. Barghouti ... let him free one other prisoner the same day.

"Yigal Amir."
