What's A Palestinian Worth?


A recent report at NPR News states that Israel and Hamas are embarking on talks in Paris to negotiate a six-week cease-fire: 

"According to the Egyptian officials, some prisoners serving life sentences on alleged terrorism charges will be among the 3,000 Palestinian prisoners to be exchanged for 50 of the civilian Israeli hostages."

In other words, one Israeli is worth 60 Palestinians. That sounds about right.
