A Heavy Heart
(Jerusalem Post) Editorial - Outrage and horror are the sentiments felt by anyone with a modicum of moral decency upon reading the list of Palestinian terrorists released Tuesday. Many of these prisoners are responsible for horrendously brutal murders perpetrated against innocent Israelis. Often, the murders took place well inside the Green Line, proof that these terrorists made no distinctions between settlements and pre-1967 Israel. Supreme Court Justice Elyakim Rubinstein rejected a petition brought by the families of the victims, but said the decision was made with "a heavy heart." "Why has such a move, which the American broker would probably not agree to at all if the terrorists had killed U.S. citizens, let alone as a condition for starting negotiations, become a legitimate condition because Palestinians are demanding it of Israel? And yet the court must rule in accordance with the law."
