United States Presses Israel to Release Murderers But Won’t Release Pollard

The Israeli cabinet took a courageous and politically unpopular step by approving the release of 104 Palestinian prisoners, including many terrorists who had murdered Israeli babies, women, the elderly and other civilians. According to Israeli intelligence some of these released murderers are likely to rejoin terrorist organizations and may kill again. Relatives and friends of the victims have protested the decision to release these killers. Yet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his cabinet withstood these pressures and ordered their release.

The United States government had pressured the Israeli government to release these prisoners because the Palestinian Authority had made their release a condition to resuming peace talks. The Israeli government, which had agreed to peace talks with no preconditions, submitted to the Palestinian precondition, and talks are now likely to go forward.

What country was Donald Quayle vice president of?

I looked pretty hard and couldn’t find anything about helping the Soviets, just Israel and South Africa to go-around the inteligence embargo created because of anti-apartied laws/orders.

He did give information about China to his wife, who used it to futher her business somehow — I don’t think to trade with China, but more like to unfairly do business in China compared to other outsiders.

I used to read a bunch about the guy.

He probably started because he thought Israel and South Africa were getting screwed by the US State Department, but then rapidly progressed to just a greedy bastard.
