Report: Media Preparing Ground For Barghouti Release, by Ezra HaLevi (Israel National News)

“Although Israel’s media routinely refers to those convicted of rape as rapists (“The rapist Benny Sela escaped from police custody”) and murder as murderers (“The murderer Yigal Amir applied for the right to have a conjugal visit from his wife”), Barghouti is never referred to as a murderer on either Kol Israel government radio or Army Radio.”

Rivlin: If Elected, I Won’t Prevent Barghouti’s Release

Excerpts;

MK Ruby Rivlin, who will apparently face Minister Shimon Peres in the upcoming election for Israel’s next President, says he won’t stand in the way of a government decision to free murderous terrorist Marwan Barghouti.

It appears that the Knesset will choose from between MK Rivlin (Likud) and Deputy Prime Minister Peres (Kadima) when it elects Israel’s 9th President this coming July.

Rivlin, who served as Knesset Speaker from 2003-2006, met over the past few days with a delegation of foreign ambassadors and delegates in the Knesset. He told them that though he objects to an early release for arch-terrorist Marwan Barghouti, he would not – by refusing to sign a pardon – veto a government decision to free him. read more

Analysis: Olmert Laying Groundwork for Barghouti’s Release, by Anshel Pfeffer (Jerusalem Post)

“Many Israelis will instinctively say that if the choice of partners is between Barghouti and the Hamas leadership, then we might as well go on fighting for another century. But anyone interested in jump-starting a new process with the Palestinians might feel that releasing Barghouti would accelerate it. Already there are those who are preparing the explanations and excuses to the public for his early release, not to mention the answers that will be needed to deal with petitions to the Supreme Court.” read more

Report: Rice Backs Freeing Barghouti

A Saudi Arabian newspaper has reported that American Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice asked Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to release convicted terrorist Marwan Barghouti.

The Saudi newspaper Okaz reported Wednesday that Rice told Prime Minister Olmert that freeing Barghouti, who is widely popular among the Arab population, would help strengthen Abbas and weaken the Hamas terrorist organization, which controls the PA legislature. read more

For context on Marwan Barghouti, click here.

Commentary;

Abu (Abu Abbas in a business suit) Mazen, aka Mahmoud Abbas, Ehud Olmert’s retreaded hope for restarting the Road Map and for doing “convergence” (expulsion of 10s of thousands of Jews under a different label), has demanded the release of Barghouti and Saadat, imprisoned for their involvement in the Rachavim Ze’evi assassination (as well as countless other terror attacks) as part of any agreement that would include Shalit’s release. The other component is the release of many hundred terrorist murderers. What the heck does Israel need Abbas for? That deal could have been done the day after. But it is far too vast a price to pay in terms of Israel’s anti-terrorist credibility, appeasement and collective self-respect and self immage. read more
