My Way News - Hamas emboldened by Israel-Hezbollah prisoner swap
AP reports: "Israel has balked at Hamas' demands for a large-scale release of Palestinian prisoners, including many convicted in deadly attacks. But the Islamic militants said there was no reason to soften their demands in light of Israel's swap deal with Hezbollah."

Comment: Governments used to say that they wouldn't negotiate with terrorists, that if you give into their demands, it only encourages them and they will then kidnap more of your people. Israel is learning the hard way the truth of that simple logic.
