If they have a problem with that, then all terrorists that Hamas demands be released can only be released to the custody of the US on US soil for the US to do with however they like as long as they are never repatriated to Israel under pain of death. If that means that 200 mass murderers have to stay locked up in the US embassy or sent to live in Vienna or Zurich or Brussels, that's on them.

Hence my 20/20 hindsight comment.<br />I had high hopes for him when he split from the JP and started the Times, but from my POV he has slowly (or not so slowly) moved his paper leftward.<br />To much for me at least. I don't even know what "moderate" means anymore.<br />I've been reading here for quite some time, and we are of like mind on most things. Short background: I raised my kids on the Golan, which is where I served as well (when I wasn't "vacationing" courtesy of tsahal to the north).<br />Now I have 11 grandkids around Israel, my youngest grandson just finished officers course.<br />Anyway, keep up the great work achi.

I began to feel that it was not worth my time.<br /><br />But, my sense of Horovitz is that he a decent and intelligent man. I respect the guy and I believe that he is a moderate.<br /><br />So, when you say that you are disappointed in the direction that he has taken the newspaper, what do you mean?<br /><br />And thanks for dropping in.<br /><br />I am always welcoming of new voices around this small joint.Mike L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06450806807610560873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-40028347805162679292015-07-10T20:02:15.877-07:002015-07-10T20:02:15.877-07:00Very curious how Horovitz opined back when Shalit ...Very curious how Horovitz opined back when Shalit was still being held. His 20/20 hindsight sounds pretty good, but what was he saying back then? Anybody know?<br />I ask because personally I am very disappointed in the direction he's taken the Times.SabaShimonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16093434770905504006noreply@blogger.com
