Would Americans Release Terrorist Killers?

Would Americans Release Terrorist Killers?

At SFI, we try not to pass judgment on decisions made by the democratically elected government of Israel. But we had to ask: in a million years, would you ever accept the U.S. government doing what Israel is doing? Jonathan Tobin, writing at Commentary magazine, says there’s no way the American people would tolerate releasing hardened murderers. So why push Israel to do it?
The fact is the United States would never consider such a request for a minute, no matter the diplomatic gains to be garnered from that sort of concession elsewhere in the globe. The American position is, as the Obama administration likes to put it, that anyone who attacks U.S. citizens will be chased down to the ends of the earth and either be snuffed by a drone attack that has the personal approval of the commander in chief or be locked away for good if they are captured.
