Israeli Release of Arab Prisoners Sparks Criticism

Submitted by Gottfried Stutz, Aug 26, 2008 11:25

Hamas, a Shiite group? Please check your facts. Also, the boats did not carry "Hamas sympathizers" but sympathizers with the Palestinians in Gaza who are under Israeli siege. How is it possible to call Tony Blair's sister-in-law, a left-wing Greek MP and a Holocaust survivor "Hamas sympathizers"? As for the USS Liberty, it was not "shot" in 1967. It was bombarded for more than half an hour. Whether that was an "error" is still debatable. Most USS Liberty survivors maintain that this was a deliberate attack.

Note: Comments are reviewed and, in some cases, edited before posting. Not all comments are posted. Chances of a comment being posted are increased if the comment is polite, accurate, grammatical, and substantive or newsworthy. The Sun does not accept comments referring to individuals by only their first names or by nicknames and in the case of most public officials requires, on first reference, a title, such as President Obama or Secretary Clinton. Second references to individuals and public officials require in most cases an honorific, such as Mr. Obama or Mrs. Clinton. Comments adhering to these style points stand a better chance of being posted.
