4/24/13, "MKs decry US demand to free terrorists as gesture," Jerusalem Post, Yuval Bagno
"After the Knesset discussed America's demand that Israel release
terrorists as a good will gesture to the Palestinian Authority on
Wednesday, Deputy Minister Ofir Akunis promised that there is no
government decision to release the terrorists and that the government is
against any such release.
He called for the return to peace talks
without pre-conditions while emphasizing that the West Bank is not
conquered territory but the birthright of the Jewish nation.
Knesset MK Orit Struk from the Bayit Yehudi party said, "the demand
is shocking, not just because the peace talks must begin without
preconditions, and not just because of the danger that these terrorists
will return to terrorist activity once they are released, but because
the release of terrorists is an energizing shot of encouragement to
terror and terrorists."
"Every release like this," she continued,
"causes potential terrorists to make the decision to become one,
because they see that they will be given support."
Struk added,
"is the America that is asking Israel to release terrorists the same
America that has carried the flag in the struggle against terrorism and
who recently experienced the hands of terror in their house?!"
Amongst the terrorists that the US is demanding Israel release, are
those
*who burned Amnon Pomerantz alive in his car in 1990,
*the
terrorists who murdered tractor driver Yigal Vahknin in 1993,
*the
terrorist who murdered 39-year-old Gush Katif resident Shaya Deutch in
1993,
*the terrorists who burned to their deaths Rachel Weiss and her
three children; Ephraim, Netanel and Raphael
*as well as soldier David
Delarosa who tried to save them and
*the terrorist who murdered Professor
Menachem Stern in the Valley of the Cross (in Jerusalem) while he was
on his way to Hebrew University.
The Knesset agreed that the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee should look into the details of the subject more closely." via Free Republic
