which is that Israel doesn't seem to make much of a distinction between innocent prisoners and people who actually deserve to be behind bars for life, while Hamas makes a far bigger fuss for monsters like Kuntar than for the many innocent (or as good as; having throwed stones or so) Palestinians in Israeli jails.

These prisoner swaps on such a ridiculous exchange rate are insane, but what's equally insane is that guilty people seem to have a better chance to walk than smaller fish whose crimes are negligible by comparison.
