Ari Fuld's murderer is getting released. A rapist is getting released. Major terror leaders are getting released. This is SO BAD.

I really want to find a silver lining in the hostage deal, but every day it seems worse.

Hillel Fuld tweeted that the person who stabbed his hero brother Ari Fuld to death  is on the list of terrorists to be released. 

This was not a terror attack from 20 years ago during the second intifada. Ari was murdered in 2018, and he managed to shoot his murderer and save other lives before succumbing.

Other people being released include leaders of terror organizations, not just low level operatives. Most of them have already been in prison for over two decades. But when I see a name like Mahmoud Atallah, I am enraged. Atallah was indicted in September for raping a female prison guard at Gilboa Prison but he has been accused of having female guards under a reign of sexual terror at the prison, a scandal that also involves guards turning a blind eye. 

How could such a monster be released?

Studies have been done showing that the number of people killed by released prisoners is far higher than the number who have been saved in swaps. More Israelis will be killed by these murderers in coming years, without question. It is irresponsible to release them knowing that the lives saved today will be far outstripped tomorrow. 

It is the highest duty of a nation to protect its citizens. That doesn't only mean today but also in the future. 

I want to see the hostages released safely to their families as much as anyone, but this puts the entire nation of Israel at further risk.
