A persistent cry from the global anti-Israel campaign claims that Israel enjoys impunity under which it commits unspeakable crimes. Based on a categorical definition of any Israeli action as a horrible crime, this argument is essentially flawed, and is actually aimed at stripping Israel of its ability to operate in a series of extremely hostile and active fronts.
But now, in light of the expected release of 104 Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails, the question arises: Who’s really operating with impunity here?
The definition “political prisoners” covers only the background of these men’s actions; These are no freedom-seeking-flag-hangers. Most of the released this time around are in prison for murder or attempted murder. Among them are two who had stabbed a 78 and an 82 year old to death; Some who murdered their Palestinians brethren; A man who boarded a bus and stabbed 3 passengers to death. Under the comfortable auspices of a political cause these men committed severe criminal acts. And now, their accumulative violence will enjoy impunity.
