Peloni: So long as the hostages are to be treated like a priceless asset, Hamas will move to increase the number of hostages it holds. This is bad news for the IDF forces on the front lines as well as in outposts inside Gaza. As Israel has been anxious to pay such steep prices for the hostages, it has made the revival of Jew Hunting profitable beyond imagining. This was always an unfortunate but predictable outcome to the ‘negotiations’ at almost any price for even a small number of hostages.
All arrested pal terrorists should be under a suspended sentence of death. For every kidnapped Israeli, one should be executed, for every dead Israeli, 10, for every kidnapped and murdered Israeli, 50 and land occupied by hostile Arabs annexed.

But, I am serious. All kidding aside.
You are too kind. I have been proposing 100: formula.
