IJzervreter Aaron Lerner is tegen iedere concessie die Israel doet aan de Palestijnen, maar in dit geval heeft hij een punt: hoe groot is het verschil tussen de poging iemand te vermoorden en de moord zelf? De relevante vraag hier is vooral hoe groot de kans is dat deze mensen opnieuw aanslagen gaan plegen, tegenover het positieve effect dat uitgaat van een dergelijke 'goodwill gesture'. Als je bedenkt hoeveel daadwerkelijke moordenaars Israel bereid is vrij te laten voor Shalit (men heeft zich bij het merendeel van de namen op de lijst die Hamas heeft overhandigd neergelegd), is dit peanuts en dus enerzijds niks om je druk om te maken en anderzijds zal het ook Abbas niet echt helpen omdat deze vrijlating in het niet valt bij wat Hamas straks voor Shalit krijgt.

A review of the list of 230 Palestinian prisoners set for release that appear on the website of the Israel Prison Authority finds that 81 are serving time for attempting to murder. See www.ips.gov.il/NR/rdonlyres/E4155671-D884-4A9F-9E67-AB868A6F6694/0/prisoners_list_Dec_2008.pdf for the list in Hebrew
While the announcement (see below) notes that none of them have "blood on their hands" it is not due to a lack of effort on their part. Most of the remaining prisoners on the list were sentenced for shooting at people, placing bombs, and other violent activity - but for some reason the charges did not include the intention to kill.
