No kidding!Too bad you weren't on the negotiating team.
So? She still stabbed people just because they were Israeli.Actually, Dwaiat didn't succeed in killing anyone.
Good!She only moderately wounded one of the men with her knife and attempted to stab the other. The man she wounded initially then shot her in self-defense.
Being 18 is not an excuse. I do not see any evidence she (or any of the other released terrorists) have any remorse or have changed their views. She may not do something like this again herself, but she will very likely teach her children to glorify terrorism.She was only a teenager back then. Perhaps she is no longer considered such a threat after 8 years in an Israeli prison. She's had time to reconsider the wisdom of her action.
By the way, this article gives backgrounds on some other prisoners being released by Israel for the hostages.
Stabbings, bombing plots: The Palestinian prisoners expected to be released in Hamas deal
YNet said:Also on the list is a 16-year-old girl from East Jerusalem who, at the beginning of last week, received a 12-year prison sentence from the Jerusalem District Court for stabbing Moriah Cohen in December 2021 in front of her five children. The girl, who is expected to be released from Israeli prison, was convicted of attempted murder, terror offenses and obstruction of justice.
Fatma Bader attempted to stab security guards in February at the entrance to the settlement of Ma'ale Adumim. Bader advanced toward the security guards armed with a knife, prompting them to shoot her in the legs, which caused her minor injuries.
The list also includes Muhammad Abu Qatish, a 17-year-old youth who last year stabbed a 20-year-old man in Jerusalem, injuring him seriously. Abu Qatish, who was shot by a police officer in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood after a chase, was sentenced to 15 years in prison.

Asra Jabas, 38, was sentenced to 11 years in prison after being convicted of detonating a gas tank that led to the injury of a police officer at a checkpoint near Ma'ale Adumim in 2015. During her time in prison, Jabas requested cosmetic reconstruction surgery at the expense of the state for the injuries she sustained in the explosion. Her request was denied.

Also on the list is Ataf Jaradat, 50, who knew in advance that her son, Muhammad Jaradat, was planning to carry out a shooting attack in which 25-year-old Yehuda Dimentman was murdered near Homesh in 2015. After the attack, she aided in hiding the murder weapon.
Another potential releasee is Yasmin Shaaban, 40, from Jenin, who, in 2014, planned to disguise herself as a pregnant Jewish woman and detonate an explosive vest. She was arrested along with several residents of the West Bank cities of Jenin and Tul Karem who planned to carry out terror attacks in Tel Aviv and other locations.
There are more in the article, this is just a selection. Very big difference between these terrorist thugs and innocent civilians taken hostage.
Did he? I don't know. He is from Down Under, and sometimes does not get our jokes on this side of the Pacific.Bilby knew perfectly well that TSwizzle got the name wrong deliberately. He was only making a snarky comment about TSwizzle's repeated use of a worn-out joke after three years.
Also, it's two years, and still popular I think.
