Hamas head Khald Meshaal promises to kidnap more Israeli solidiers

Directly from the horse's mouth, we have confirmation of what common sense would suggest has to be true: Giving in to Hamas blackmail in the Shalit kidnapping will be rewarded by more kidnappings. So this is a really good deal right, and we should go for it? Maybe 20 or 30 Israeli soldiers will be kidnapped, and there will no longer be any deterrent value in arresting terrorists. If you are an Israeli, you might be the next terror victim.

Here's the story:

 

Khaled Mashaal vows to abduct more Israeli troops in order to free all Palestinian prisoners

 

In a speech in Damascus, Syria, Mashaal congratulated the Palestinian people on Israel's release Friday of 19 female prisoners in return for a video of captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.

 

 The Hamas leader promised to work for the release of thousands of Palestinians held by Israel.

 

 He said those who were able to capture Shalit and hold him safely for more than three years are capable of capturing "Shalit, and Shalit, and Shalit until there is not even one prisoner in the enemy's jails."
 

Earlier Friday, Hamas leader in Gaza Ismail Haniyeh congratulated the female Palestinian prisoners released from Israeli prison on in exchange for the Shalit videotape

 

Haniyeh said the swap was a great victory for the Palestinian resistance.

 

 "This is an achievement for the Palestinian factions that captured Shalit," he said at a press conference in Gaza.
