Het is goed nieuws dat Barghout, Saadat en enkele andere top terroristen er niet bijzitten, maar dit liegt er ook niet om. Neem bijvoorbeeld:
· Husam Badran, the former head of Hamas' military wing in the West Bank, who orchestrated the deadly terror attacks at the Tel Aviv Dolphinarium in 2001, at the Park Hotel in Netanya in 2002 and at the Sbarro restaurant in Jerusalem in 2001.
Dit waren alle drie vreselijke aanslagen waarbij de eerste twee tientallen onschuldige burgers, deels kinderen, werden gedood. Volgens Anja Meulenbelt en co zijn dit echter krijgsgevangenen die net zoveel recht hebben op vrijheid als Shalit. Het moreel gelijk stellen van bloedige aanslagen gericht op het doden en levenslang verminken van zoveel mogelijk onschuldige burgers met het bewaken van de grens zoals Shalit en zijn eenheid deden, is behoorlijk ziek.
