But Haaretz itself is ok. Read always the same story on different news channels such as ynet or jpost and youll be just fine to get the nuances of the whole story.

The majority of the writers in the newspaper are Left though, often to extremely stupid results. Ha'aretz's saving grace is that it has a core of high-quality reporters which isn't really Left or Right. The Left still has most of the paper, though... Jeha, as a whole, Ha’aretz is not Left.

The Left still has most of the paper, though…

They all want a world that looks great on paper - but never transforms into the real world. Haaretz is a terrible newspaper – and the Israeli left is like the extreme left anywhere in europe.

Last time it was hundreds of prisoners in exchange for a drug dealer and two dead soldiers. I think that in comparison, releasing only Samir Kuntar (despite Hezbollah's failure to deliver anything substantial on Ron Arad) would be quite proportional. In fact, I doubt <i>Hezbollah</i> will ever go for such a deal because Kuntar is not worth it. 2 Israel prisoners/corpses for 1 Lebanese prisoner is “asymmetric”?
