A woman with a suicide belt is just as dangerous as a man and perhaps more so because she can more easily hide the bomb. What age are these 'minors' that you're talking about ? Young brainwashed thugs that deliver weapons or belts should remain locked up or they will do the same thing again. We know about Sharia and how civilized it is thank you very much. Gilad is not a prisoner but a hostage and only criminals takes hostages. Don't you see that the whole world is sick of lazy violent Palestinians ? Abu Mazen doesn't talk about providing jobs and building but he too talks about begging. The Palestinians have received gifts for so long now that they feel that it's their right but it isn't. And with every day that passes a Palestinian State gets further away. You need real leaders and not thieves, killers and cowards. Mike

The prisoner exchange is going nowhere because you're a greedy terrorist.

... is the morals of the animals holding him. Period. Stop. Don't put the blame on Israel. Don't allow these terrorists to switch the blame. The world should be pressuring them (and Lebanon) to release the kidnapped soldiers (or their remains - as is probably the case with Hezbullah).

There is adifference: jailed terrorists versus kidnapped soldiers. No swap is legitimate but an unconditional release of soldiers.

is Gilad a prisoner or hostage? are captured Palestinian minors and women detainee or convicted prisoners? the only fact is that you don't give a damn to others' perspective !
