Look at Israel and Hamas, for example.

If you are referring to the 2011 deal where 1 Isreali was traded for 1027 prisoners, then I submit to you that that was a terrible deal by the Isrealies, and they should be ashamed for doing it. They spit in the face of all the families that were murdered by some of those prisoners. Plus the comparison is ridiculous. We got back an America-hating druggie while leaving a Marine behind and releasing a murderous terrorist to boot. I'd hardly call an exchange like that 'fairness'. And ii you're still going to attempt to defend it, then no offense, but you might need a recalibration of your moral compass.
