JERUSALEM | Tue Oct 11, 2011 4:17pm EDT
(Reuters) - Israel and Gaza's Hamas Islamist rulers have agreed to swap hundreds of Palestinian prisoners for the lone Israeli captive soldier Gilad Shalit, resolving one of the most emotive and intractable issues between them.
--------------------
What will stop the hamas muslim nazis from kidnapping another soldier? Israel is even perhaps going to release terrorist mastermind Marwan Barghouti... Israel is so sick and evil to do this. They should simply have killed many Gazan muslims until Shalit was released.
