1. Those jews were not "hostages" in the usual interpretation of the word.
2. Israel has been supplying arms to Iran on a regular basis in return for
   Iranian jews. How's that?

Are you really asking or are you just relying on my ignorance of the facts?
  
1. It has NOT been a one time thing. At least 20 to 30 thousand jews have left
   this way in small groups of 2 to 3 hundred so it has been going on for some 
   time. 
2. The lives of those jews were not in danger any more than the lives of the
   rest of the people.

No, I wouldn't either. But the Europeans know better than to just blame the
terrorists.
