Plus, didn't Israel release like 1,000 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for one Israeli prisoner (Gilad Schalit) a couple of years ago?

5 prisoners is obviously a much smaller price to pay for this than 1,000 prisoners.
Exactly my thoughts! I think it is someone close to you, you too would think 5 for one is a fair deal.

My point exactly, you don't actually believe they are gonna turn over a new leaf do you? They'll be right back at it soon.

I would not ask that of my Country....I'd die first in that stinkhole to save more of my own.
