Olmert's Empty Gesture

"Israel to release 250 Palestinians

As they round up 300 more.

JERUSALEM - Israel yesterday approved the release of 250 Palestinian prisoners in a bid to bolster Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in his power struggle with Hamas Islamists who control the Gaza Strip.

More Fatah thugs to be loosed upon Hamas.

The prisoners, a fraction of the 11,000 Palestinians held by Israel, will be released in the occupied West Bank, where Abbas's government holds sway, before the upcoming Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha, officials said of the decision, which was approved by Israel's Cabinet....

Yup, NOTHING about their TORTURE, the fact that WOMEN, CHILDREN and LEGISLATORS are being held, etc, etc. In fact, AMERIKAN TORTURE gets more coverage than ISRAELI TORTURE in AmeriKa's Zionist-controlled War Dailies, and that TELLS YOU A LOT!!!

Such releases are highly emotive for Palestinians, who regard prisoners as symbols of resistance to Israeli occupation....

Yeah, I'll bet they are!! Wouldn't YOURS BE, American? Welcoming back a loved one who has been FALSELY IMPRISONED and TORTURED?
