| Netanyahu wants Shalit to be released, but he doesn`t want to pay the cost. Sure, if push comes to shove he`ll entertain the idea of releasing petty crims, jay-walkers and sidewalk-spitters for him, but that`s about all. Certainly nobody of any worth. Netanyahu wants a bargain, because a bargain is political gold for him. Failing that, Netanyahu wants a corpse. Because there is always a political use that can be made of a corpse. But those are the only two options he is willing to entertain, and that`s why there is no deal. Because, of course, Hamas wants what Shalit is worth, and has no interest in short-changing itself. Why should it, when the only person who would benefit (apart from Shalit) is Netanyahu? |
