It makes you wonder why Israel is willing to exchange dozens of Lebanese prisoners for a handful of Israeli ones (and remains) when it only encourages further kidnapping.
Speaking at a mass rally to welcome 21 Lebanese prisoners freed by Israel hours earlier, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah said his guerrillas could capture more Israelis to bargain for the freedom of Lebanese still held in Israeli prisons.
Turning to a huge poster of a guerrilla ambush in which three Israeli soldiers were captured in October 2000, Nasrallah said: “This is a choice.”
I mean, bully for “nobody gets left behind” and all that, but there’s a reason why bargaining with terrorists is a no-win situation.
