In photos: Israel releases 26 Palestinian prisoners

Israel released 26 veteran Palestinian prisoners Tuesday at 2.15 a.m. completing a third stage of the release of 104 prisoners held in Israeli jails before the Oslo Accords of 1994.

Eighteen prisoners from the West Bank were released from Ofer detention center near the Ramallah-area town of Beitunia, while five prisoners from Jerusalem were set free at al-Zaytouna checkpoint near al-Ezariya in East Jerusalem.

Three inmates from the Gaza Strip were freed at Erez checkpoint on the borders between Israel and the northern Gaza Strip.

Few if any rights whatsoever for women, gays, christians, blacks...

No Jews allowed.

If you oppose this, what's your plan? Something practical and realistic that can be implemented in our time...

Once again, the Palestinians must be superhuman., or they are judged subhuman.

Tell you what. I'm gonna play like Meretz. Go for whatever you want, Shira. Don't cry when shit blows up in your face though.

By some, yes.

And I think by others the same can be said about the Israelis.

Food for thought.
