U.S. GOVERNMENT OUTRAGED BY AFGHANISTAN'S RELEASE OF TERRORISTS - BUT IT PRESSURES ISRAEL TO RELEASE PALESTINIAN TERRORISTS. WHY THE MORAL INCONSISTENCIES?

(Reuters) - U.S. forces in Afghanistan on Tuesday condemned a decision by the Afghan government to proceed with plans to release additional detainees that the United States believes pose a continuing militant threat.

 

"United States Forces-Afghanistan has learned that 65 dangerous individuals from a group of 88 detainees under dispute have been ordered released from the Afghan National Detention Facility at Parwan," the U.S. military force said in a statement.

THIS ONGOING WAR WEBSITE - There's one big difference between the Afghani jihadists and the Palestinians that we should mention before we get to our question. Those prisoners in the Israeli system were all, every last one of them, put on trial with the assistance of legal counsel, and were convicted and lawfully sentenced. In Israel, the rule of law, the systemic administration of justice and the checks and balances which come with that, are all real. Not make-believe like the propped-up Afghan regime of Karzai, but real.

The difference, it seems, is that when terrorists kill Jews, that's not really terror in the eyes of those who promote their release. 

And please note that the release of prisoners has been an ongoing "gesture of good will" on the part of the Israeli government - under pressure from the United States - and in the name of "peace".  Thousands have been pardoned and a good number of those released prisoners have returned to their terror activities. 

 

 

Kerry and State Dep’t Silent on ‘Heroes’ Welcome’ for Released Palestinian Killers

 

“To glorify the murders of innocent women and men as heroes is an outrage,” Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu said. “How can he [Abbas] say that he stands against terrorism when he embraces the perpetrators of terrorism and glorifies them as heroes?” -

AND HOW CAN SECRETARY KERRY SAY HE STANDS AGAINST TERRORISM AND IN SUPPORT OF ISRAEL - WHEN HE PRESSURED ISRAEL TO RELEASE THOSE WHO ATTACKED AND MURDERED JEWS? 

AND WHEN HE RELENTLESSLY PRESSURES ISRAEL TO GIVE UP ITS HEARTLAND TO CREATE AN ARAB STATE FOR THOSE WHO SWEAR THEY WON'T STOP UNLEASHING TERROR UNTIL THEY CONQUER ALL OF ISRAEL?
