Think a few Isralies disagree with this. Some high profile mass murderers being let out there. A lot of famliles who lost loved ones to these people are quite angry

There seems to be a lot of Israeli's celebrating as well which seems crazy to me, I don't see how this deal can be seen as anything other than a victory for Hamas

1000 to 1 is about the death ratio in this silly conflict so its fair

Ridiculous decision. Far more people will die at the the hands of those released Palastinians now. The nerve of the Palastinians even asking for 1000 to be released for one Israelie prisoner. Cannot believe the Israelies agreed.

Maybe it's an olive branch.

It's not an olive branch. The Irsaeli soldier that was freed was a huge celebrity in Israel, he was well known, and it had become a major political issue in Israel.

It reminds me of the spy swap between America and Russia last year, America swapped 5 russian spies for 1 American spy, and people here questioned why we'd give up 5 Russian spies for 1 American spy, and the answer was clear.... We value life more, Our spy was worth 5 Russian spies.

I think it's shows Israels value on life, tyhat they are willing to trade hunfreds of evil people, inorder to free 1 innocent Israeli soldier.

It shows that Israel has real value for human life to make this deal.

Palestinians should be ashamed of those hundreds of murderers that are freed, and Israel should be proud to have freed an innocent man.
