Back in the day it was understood that you never negotiated with terrorists. How we ever got to the insane "I'll give you 1 hostage back if you release 100 odd terrorists" is also beyond me. Must be showing my age!

James, you're thinking like I do: Since Israel is at War with the Gazans/HAMAS/Islamic Jihad etc. why, on earth, didn't Netanyahu and his men give that evil lot an ultimatum: "Free every hostage. If not, there won't be a single bean and drop of water for you lot." That's how it has been throughout history in warfare. And never mind fantasizing about International Law and a misplaced humanitarianism. This situation is totally beyond all that.
