[edit] misleading title

Half the title is about Israel MIAs not the exchanges itself. --Shuki 22:24, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Um . . .

I know that the State of Israel has a small population, and also that all must serve in the military, but I don't understand what would make these families who fear terrorism so much be willing to release thousands of prisoners for one person. I can understand the individual family, but the entire Israeli population? Maybe they're just very passionate about their own lives. Which is good, becase it's nice to see them have a passion and understanding for the lives of someone, because they surely don't value the lives of anyone outside of themselves. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.35.11.39 (talk • contribs)

Yes, it is somewhat uncomprehendable why 'Israel' allows itself, time after time, to get suckered into massive lopsided 'prisoner exchanges', especially when we know that some of these free terrorists and criminals will come back and try to kill more Israelis. Nonetheless, many Israelis now see the absurdity of rewarding the terrorists. IMO, instead of exchanging current prisioners for 'POWs', Israel should have begun arresting new ones to use as pawns. --Shuki 22:14, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
