PERES: WE WILL RELEASE TERRORISTS IF SHALIT FREED

SPEAK LOUDLY AND CARRY A SMALL STICK.

AS YOU'LL RECALL, THE PALESTINIANS KIDNAPPED CPL. SHALIT HOPING TO TRADE HIM FOR PALESTINIAN TERRORISTS HELD BY ISRAEL. ISRAEL REFUSED, MUCH TO THE SURPRISE OF THE PALESTINIANS. INSTEAD, ISRAEL STRUCK AT GAZA TO TEACH THE PALESTINIANS THAT SUCH METHODS WOULDN'T WORK ON ISRAEL. I GUESS OLMERT DIDN'T MEAN IT AFTER ALL.
