Kidnap the entire hamas cabinet to swap for Gilad Shalit. What would the rest of the world say? Who cares if they still havent figured out what they are dealing with after more than 50 years of arab terror.

Time to play hardball and cut off lawyer and RedCross visits for a while. Lets see how the families that PRC is trying to 'help' enjoy being out of touch with their loved ones totally. I mean like 'who knows what happened to them' out of touch. Pressure works both ways. www.tzomet.net

YOu say 50 years of 'Arab terror'. So prior to the late forties there was no 'Arab terror'. It's not 'terror' It's resisitance. The indigenous Palestinians are resisting occupation. Over 50 years ago the Palestinians were not 'terrorising Jewish people. It's only when their land was taken that they resisted.

Your first mistake is not realizing "Israeli = Palestinian". Given the history of the land, the Jews are the only real Palestinians. The reign of terror of Arabs against the Jews goes back to the late 19th century and early twentieth century, long before an Egyptian, Yasser Afafat, tried to pervert the term Palestinian and redefine it to mean "Arab terrorist".

Why else all the stalling about turning him over? Besides, it's easy to hld a dead person for a long time. They need no care.

Arabs have been terrorising Jews since well over 50 years. many anti-semitic pogroms such as in Hebron in 20's testify to this. My family were thrown out of Aden and my wife from Tripoli. I don't see Jews detonating themselves in Arab supermarkets! Many anti-semites use excuses for their behaviour and it appears you are one of them

It was the arabs who attacked the Jews in 1948... not the other way around. If someone attacks me for no reason and I beat the crap out of them I should get rewarded with something of theirs or else wouldn't it all just be done in vain? The lesson is, don't f--- with people.... the arabs just haven't learned this yet.

- PRC: "Shalit will not see light of day unless our demands are met" - Ben Yohanan: Maybe, but at the end the Jews will win and you guys will lose.

1929 you started massacring jews in Hevron

Human Rights Watch, The Red cross, The BBC continually monitor and often go out of their way to criticize Israel for the way she treats prisoners, forcing Israel to make their lives in detention comfortable by Geneva Convention Standards. But there is silence from these organizations with respect to the illegal and inhumane captivity of Israeli prisoners by Hamas and Hezbollah. These organizations should be putting out press release every day in protest. But they say nothing. It seems they have forgotten. But, the truth is, they don’t care.

You clearly do not know your history. Arabs have been attacking Jews in Israel/Palestine in the modern era since the early 1900's, and before that as well. For example, the 3 day riots in 1929 against the Jews in Hebron by Arab mobs. Do a little homework.

you jews need to stop trying to hold the palestinians and arabs accountable for their actions and choices. I know there has been an ongoing jewish presence in palestine for over 2000 years, but I just have a difficult time accepting jewish immigration into the middle east. Now arabs, they should be allowed to immigrate anywhere they want on the planet.

Oh so then who was the PM or president or King/Queen pre 1948 in Palestine? What was the country's currency called? How often were there elections? What was the type of government? Who took care of the taxes, electricity. water, garbage and healthcare? Social services? Building laws and zones? Court of Justice? Who were all these people? "Palestinians"? What was the capital of Palestine? What was the nation proud of- what were its accomplishments? I expect it will be difficult to give any answer worth its weight.

No food, no water, no fuel, no electricity, no medical supplies, no leaves for medical treatment and bombard the strip till they surrender.

Jewish zionists declared an indepedant jewish state in Palestine when they didn't like the United Nations partition plan. Anyone with a brain can go and look at the maps of the proposed partition and know that the zionist took way more than they were alloted. And if Arabs were the aggressors then why were Palestinian Arabs driven from their homes into camps? Your own leaders of that period admit that Israel was the agressor in that war and the 1967 war. And while they may not admit the same for the first Lebanese and second Lebanese wars it was obvious to anyone who watched the news to see what was going on. In fact NO one who has studied the history of the Middle East since the 1890s and particularly the last 60 years believes that the Arabs have been aggressive towards Israel. Have they reacted to the bellicose nature of Israeli foreign and domestic policy? Yes they have. Do they have that right? Yes they do. All human beings have the right to resist oppression. All human beings have the right ot oppose the racist and apartheid policies of an oppressive government and culture. Likewise, Israelis have the right to parrot the endless propaganda your government and culture of victimhood spout. But the civilized world has the right to see through it for what it really is. It's time for a change. Israelis need understand this. You will not be able to carry on as you have in the past.

that Jane has a problem with JEWISH immigration to the mideast. Poor Jane. I guess she will just have to live with the fact that for 2000 years the Jews have been dreaming to Immigrate- return- to the mideast and now when they finally can -after being annihilated by others who had problems with us living where we lived- in exile- do not forget, we just cannot take her "problems: and others' into much consideration. Sorry Jane. Don't you see it? In simple terms: kick us out of our homeland send us to exile, commit thouands of crimes against humanity to us including many mass murders throught those 2000 years, and then when we come home you guys have a problem with that? OMG

Means they are most likey dead at the hands of hamas and Hezbollah, people Olmert wants to start talking to. Stop listening to the demands of Hamas and start MAKING YOUR OWN: Release the 3 soldiers within 24 hours or within 36 hours, the northern 5km of Gaza will be reduced to ashes. Make it simple.

Excellent idea , Dandan. You may have only been partly serious about kidnapping the entire Hamas cabinet in exchange for Shalit, but I'm entirely serious. It should be done. OLDMERDE DELENDUS EST !!

Seal the border crossings and blockade Gaza until Gilad is released. It will also give the Palestinians time to understand what happens when they can't hold a ceasefire. If the Palestinians have a problem with this, let them complain to Hamas.

You all are super jews

O.K., maybe I got my facts a little mixed up regarding who started the wars in 1948/1956/1967/1973....2006, but I just wish you guys would stop moving forward creating and building and contributing to humanity and the world. You need to stand still ... like the palestinians.... until another 60 years goes by and we solve all of this. You will see, one day in the next few decades the arabs will compromise.

FYI- from wikipedia: The word "Zionism" itself is derived from the word Zion (Hebrew: ציון, Tzi-yon). This name originally referred to Mount Zion, a mountain near Jerusalem, and to the Fortress of Zion on it. Later, under King David, the term "Zion" became a synecdoche referring to the entire city of Jerusalem and the Land of Israel. In many Biblical verses, the Israelites were called the people, sons or daughters of Zion. That is what we are daughters and sons of Zion. Oh, go over you history a bit, there are some "hairy" parts! Really! To laugh or cry?!

Would you care to expand on that? Give us some background info, insights as to what you mean? Is it a compliment? Is it an insult thrown in a sarcastic fashion? Is it because yu are at a loss for words? Are you jealous of Jews? Do you hate them? Are Jews one big general group?Take a responsible stand behind your words and explain- it seems you want to voice something but didn't for some odd reason.

Anyone who watch this map and say this is a normal border for two countries and people of good will can live here in peace.. are liars, hypocrits, this map was drown cyninically to show a semingly international legality, there is no people in the world who could bear it as a country shape, maybe this is absurd too if you are very idealistic (imagine there no countries..) but massive groups of people need a good mind representation of their country. The very quick and irresponsible departure of the british deceived for beeing taken this high symbolistic place has a huge responsibility in this post 48 conflicts, I cannot believe anyone could really believe this puzzle with almost four symetrical pieces of land with two potential rivals groups would work easely. If this map was the only gift of the UN at that time every jews would have accepted it whatever happening later, it was called a country, a nation, not a zone, not refugees camps. There should not have been two states: Many like to recall jews lived and stil live in peace in several arab countries, Israel should have been a Jewish country with arabs living in peace inside, respected and respectful. There can be a jewish country as there is arab countries, many. In my opinion everybody knew at that time that it would not be a final border but the beginning of Israel which would later include Palestine and finishing at the current borders of Lebanon, Syria, Jordania and Sinaï desert. I sometimes wonder if this stupid borders were purposefully made to keep this area in crisis for strategical reasons. But israelian Jews dont mind about that, we cannot agree with the UN map which was stupid both for Jews and arabs. Just watch this map and ask yourself if that is two countries, would it work in Europe, that shape, would it work in Africa, would it work in Asia...? Even when there is a simple straight line there can be wars, all over the world. Finally I think there is a very pretty peaceful atmosphere in this area regarding the geopolitical situation.

Cut off all water and food to Gaza. Within a week Shalit will be eating dinner with his parents.
