keep living in fear becuase of the injustice to do to people , give the land back and live as a good nation . you will live day and night of fear and agony, make peace idiots

As of July 2008, Israel is holding 691 Palestinians in administrative detention in facilities run by the Israel Prison Service (IPS). Administrative detention is detention without charge or trial, authorized by administrative order rather than by judicial decree.

The trade of dead soldiers for live murderers went so well. I bet the hesbos are really anxious to find out what a live innocent Israeli civilian would bring. Keep up the good work Kadima!

Sheik Yassin said, "Reconcilliation with the Jews is a crime." Hopw can Israel make peace with such a people for whom this is a hero?

Since the beginning of the second intifada, the number of Palestinian minors held in Israeli custody has averaged 350-450 a month. At the end of June 2008, 311 Palestinian minors were in Israel Prison Service custody.

You forget to mention that administrative or not it is still legal. You may not like that but it's legal. You forgot to mention tons of stuff anyway. Is Gilad held on adminstrative or judicial decree? Is he been held captive according to the Geneva convention? Were Hizballah holding their captives according to human rights standards? The answers are NO and NO. Was Gilad rightfully arrested or kidnapped? How ever, you want to call the arrest of Palestininans or how ever the spin you want to put on the facts, Palestininans are being treated according to the Geneva convention. Being fed well and offered Doctors or Lawyers visits. Richard get real and stop spreading your hatred of Israel you obviously make no sense.

The only thing coming as a result of a potential increased threat to Israelis and Jews is that you will be treated even harser for your crimes. Nothing good for you will ever come out of your wishes. The reason you are being treated harshly today is the fact that Israelis used to live in fear during the Intifadahs and other periods of terror committed by your kind. It's very evident you don't want peace, and it's questionable whether or not you actually deserve it anyway.

Ramallah guy, live your sad life in Rammallah for all the hate you spread. Palestininan's living standards aren't the best in the middle east despite the fact that billion of dollars were injected in your economy. What happened to this money? Gone in your sweet leaders pockets. In the mean time you eat dirt and blame Israel for everything that happens to you while Souha and the others live the great life and will keep doing so as long as your people eat dirt. I am actually sorry for your fate more than for the Israelis and sincerely wish you better but if the Palestinians keep spreading hatred and do not recognize who their real enemies are, well you'll keep eating dirt whether Israel exist or not. I wish you better.

I said we all can live in peace if and only if the occupied land returned back, releases al the prisoners, and then Israel will concentrate on providing quiet place to live in harmony, as long as the land occupied will be No PEACE, WE HAVE TRIED WAR AND KILLING BUT NOT RESULTS, try peace for a change by ending the occupation of the west bank and Gaza,,

what box you open ......it may come back to bite you .....Who's the idiot now?

gets well fed and fat ....and all the medical care he needs tell me ....#2

enough war and kidnapping, let us live together hand by hand to build this land, our sole should be free of hating & killing. We pray to one God no matter different direction or religion.

The only way to make Hezbollah think twice is to warn them that you will target the head of the snake: Iran. All Iranians officials, all of iranian allies, all of Iranians commercial buddies should be targeted for each attack on Israelis. This is the only language that a Shia will understand !

This article is referring to the kidnapping and possible torture of innocent civilians, and filth like richard and ramallah are talking about being fearful and attacking Israel. When anyone wants to know the difference between good and evil you can direct them to this page and show them these talkbacks. True evil relishes in threats and puts the blame on others. Funny how you would never see an article written about the threats of arab civilians being kidnapped by Israelis. Regardless of this I still take comfort in the fact that we have a state that protects us and a military that is not going to sit back and wait for its people to be slaughtered like in the holocaust. Am Israel Chai!!!

It is natural for Israel to prepare for terror attacks in light of the threats being voiced against it in the past. Israel would not stand for an attack on one of its missions or against Israeli citizens abroad. Past experience proves that Iran and its associates do not hesitate to operate against innocent civilians, and Israel is obligated to prepare for such possibility with a series of steps that would boost the level of readiness required to avert such attacks. We do not face only Iran and Hizbullah – we face Islam as explained at : http://israelagainstterror.blogspot.com/2008/01/agenda-of-islam-war-between.html

Where is it? What land is it that you are referring to? Is it gaza? Is it ramallah? Where is it?

I read what you said but your message wasn't elected by the people. You had a party that was against the corruption of Fatah and the violent message of Hamas and they only got 4% of the vote. So I can only conclude that 96% what the conflict to continue. There's no point in surrendering land if your government sees these giveaways as weakness and the peace process as a staged plan to destroy Israel.

Muslims fight and it might have been one of their own that did him in. I read in the news yesterday that a torture chamber was found in Iraq in a Mosque that was taken over by militants. Can't get any worse than that. I expected to see tons of angry Muslims, rioting in the streets at their Mosque being used in such a way and on their co-religionists. However when I look on Al Jazeera there was no mention of it yet. So it's just odd. Maybe they are also afraid.

Unfortunately Richards comments are demonstrative of the level of debate on the British mid to far left. There is no mention of the article he has responded to, no critical discussion just a warped and absolutely one sided rant as vitriolic as the announcements from any lunatic preacher. For the time being we are just another thorn in the side of any peace process.

Tom , lets go back to basics I a agree the government which is chosen have to negotiate peace for it's people too , but you can not have 15000 prisoners , occupying the land , using the resources then you call for peace , yes , Palestinian do not have strong govmn,t but at least they could be a partner if our hearts form both sides are clean , only ifffff

It's time for the Israelis to start some heavy duty kidnapping - thoroughly, relentlessly, threateningly and IMMEDIATELY.

Funny that you should mention the Geneva convention. For your information Israel is the biggest violater of the Geneva convention according to Human Rights Watch.

no matter what ...You people don't want peace ....

ALONG WITH THE U/N. THAT'S A JOKE ........hahaahahahahah don't make me laugh so hard ......
