"Fourth batch" terrorists upset they are still in prison

Karim Younis, one of the Arab murderers who have been in Israeli prison the longest, is complaining that the PLO didn't do enough to get him and his fellow prisoners released in the planned fourth batch.

Younis wrote a harsh letter to Palestinian leadership saying that they dropped the ball and that they should quit their jobs and return to their mansions.

"This means that we are over the past nine months we lived in a spiral of deception and empty promises and commitments," he wrote.

He also called the failure of negotiations aimed at his release an "unforgivable crime," saying the negotiations were "miserable and shameful that no one can justify or defend it, so everyone runs away from the face of what actually happened and the tragic consequences because of it. "

He said to Palestinian officials, "get out, do not look behind you, just go to your palaces and mansions, just go and leave your office keys to those who can act responsibly."

Meanwhile, prisoners have been holding a hunger strike for over a month and the Palestinian Arabs are getting very frustrated that the media and NGOs have largely ignored this story. So naturally they are attacking - the Red Cross.

Palestinian activists on Wednesday closed the Red Cross' al-Bireh office in protest against the organization's "silence" regarding an ongoing prisoners' hunger strike, the organizers said.

"Today we are shutting down the headquarters of the International Committee of the Red Cross because it has failed to play the role it should to protect Palestinian prisoners, especially hunger strikers," the organizers said.

Protesters blocked the doors of the office and denied entry to employees.

Arabic media every day describes how the prisoners are at death's door and deteriorating badly. The impression I get is that they are hoping that one manages to die, so that the media will start writing about them and raising this never-ending whinefest to a higher priority than troubles in Syria and Egypt and Libya and Iraq, where hundreds of people are actually, you know, dying.
