Logic

Let’s try to understand the logic here. The Palestinians attack and Israeli site, abduct a prisoner. The ask for the release of Palestinian prisoners in return for his release.
Israel, ‘worried’ about the safety of its soldier, refuses the offer, and sends its army in. So far, they killed 21 Palestinians, just today, and they lost a soldier of their own.
Correct me if I am wrong, but usually if you are worried about someone’s safety you don’t kill other people do you? I mean not if this is in no way going to let your guy free.
So they come up again with the famous Bush-ian slogan- “we don’t negotiate with terrorists.” Excuse me, but you did before, everyone does. Even Hamas, they are negotiating with Israel… See even Hamas negotiates with terrorists, why doesn’t Israel do the same?
