New Math in the Middle East
In 2011, Hamas released one (1) Israeli
for 1,027 Palestinian detainees
Somehow that never added up for me
This Sunday Hamas will release five innocent Israelis
for 700 Palestinian detainees
More than half of whom were detained for killing sprees
I can understand trading my prize-winning cow for your horse
even giving you my wife along with her papers of divorce
But when it comes to returning five innocent hostages for hundreds of killers
That’s a transaction with which I am just not familiar
