Unfortunately I can't share Frimet Roth's concern about the release of Palestinian prisoners.

Most Palestinans in Israeli jails are simply political prisoners. They were arrested in arbitrary military sweeps and have been denied a fair trial or in most cases a trial at all. Anyone who believes Sharon, the butcher of Sabra-Shatila and father of the Occupation/Settler movement, would ever release a single guilty Palestinian is dreaming.

Perhaps now OnlineOpinion will publish a piece by one of the 54 Palestinian mothers who have had their children murdered by the Israelis since March 2004. Incidentally, 4 Israeli children have been killed in the same period see:

Some of those children have died because of the PLO's policy of not allowing Palestinians to use Israeli hospitals, not always because of the IDF.

And Sharon's 'war crimes':

"In 1982, Moslem Arabs, directed by Syrian intelligence, killed the Christian president of Lebanon. Christian Arabs retaliated by entering the Palestinian refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila in Beirut and massacring several hundred Moslems. This was a case of Arabs killing Arabs -- yet Ariel Sharon is implicated in your article as if he was the one who pulled the trigger or ordered the massacre.

In truth, Sharon was blamed by the Kahan commission for not having the foresight to realize that one group of Arabs would so brazenly massacre another group of Arabs. Today, Sharon is calling for the release of all classified documents from the Kahan commission, insisting that he would be vindicated if they were released.

I would appreciate a reply to explain why you allow such inaccuracies to appear in your publication."

But I’m done posting defences of Israel here. You'll only hear what you want to anyway, which apparently doesn’t include Frimet Roth's article.
