Salah Hamouri, 26, was one of 550 prisoners freed on Sunday to complete a deal in which Israel released 1,027 prisoners for soldier Gilad Schalit, who was held captive in the Gaza Strip for over five years.
Many of the 450 prisoners freed on Oct. 18 under the Egyptian-brokered swap for the soldier had been serving life sentences for deadly attacks.
None of those freed in the second stage, on Sunday, had been convicted of perpetrating any killings, though some such as Hamouri were involved in plotting violence, or involvement in non-lethal attacks.
I guess prison doesn’t rehabilitate would-be terrorists, after all.
Savage arabs….
Maybe a little ‘accident’ for Mr. Haouri on the way home might be in order?
Quick all anti-Zionists. Write in show your support for your compatriot. Why wait for Iran to again question the shoah before you get involved.
What do you want from them. They are being honest. We’re the crazy ones for making the deal.
Can’t someone be arrested for making death threats?
