So the democratically elected Hamas government has now offically demanded that Israel release Arab terrorists from prison (many of them, in fact) in return for the release of Gilad Shalit. After all, Israel has done it before. And it's "what other countries [sic] do in conflict situations."
They're calling Olmert's bluff. How incredibly unsurprising. Meanwhile,
Earlier Wednesday, Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas accused Israel of carrying out "crimes against humanity" with its incursion into Gaza Strip.
At this point, I'd have to say that an incursion into the Gaza Strip could not conceivably result in crimes against humanity, as it would appear that there is none there.
