The Almagor terror victims organization called on the government and the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Thursday to reject the comments made by MK Shaul Mofaz, who called for the release of terrorists in exchange for kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.

Almagor Chairman Meir Indor said that “Mofaz’s criticism of the government during his lecture to students in northern Israel is nothing but a show of populism and hypocrisy, since he once let the Druze soldier Medhat Youssef bleed to death in Shechem and did not rescue him so as not to anger the Arab forces besieging the compound.”
