I get it.
If the terrorist leaders give up their only bargaining chip they got nothing and are doomed to being unalived by the Israelis.
Nobody wants to give up, roll over and die.
Now if they keep their one bargaining chip they may live a little longer but resign their whole tribe to annihilation.
My question remains: where are the "GOOD" Palestinians that they are not standing up and demanding the hostages be returned so their people, young and old, men, women, and children, quit dying unnecessarily?
