The fact that they are willing to come forward about past wrongs is a decent indicator they aren't still doing those things. It seems they are sending a message that they have some leverage and are willing to use it. The threat can often be greater than the execution.
Not if it's a limited hangout. And since the release coincided with the ridiculous UN debacle, it probably is, meaning there are heavy PR ramifications attached. I guess with Trump we're all supposed to be blindly pro-Israel again like the old days.
I don't think we should blindly do anything. But, it is worth noting that Israel is the only country in the region who doesn't currently consider us the Great Satan.

What would you consider a country who wants to come in, bomb you to smithereens and then steal your children? Sounds pretty accurate.
