Prisoner swap causing anguish in Israel, elation in Palestine


This week's planned Mideast prisoner swap is unleashing deep anguish in Israel and widespread elation in the Palestinian territories, laying bare the chasm of perspective dividing the two sides.

In Israel, the public is aghast at having to release convicted perpetrators of suicide bombings, deadly shootings and grisly kidnappings,
although most understand that's what it takes to win freedom for a soldier captured during a routine patrol inside Israel at age 19.
