terrorist organization and only pressure from the people in gaza OR the release of hundreds of murderers will bring Shalit back.

in Brazil by a stepfather and Brazilian courts who know the child was abducted and who refuse to allow the boy to return to the USA with his father David Goldman. The boy's mother had David Goldman's permission to take the boy to Brazil for TWO WEEKS to see his grandparents. The wife instead divorced David Goldman and refused to return the legal biological son to the father as the American courts ordered since Brazil signed a treaty to return abducted children to the authorized parent. In judgment from the Lord, the ex-wife died in childbirth. The stepfather who has a daughter of his own biological origins refused to return the son to the legal biological father. For a long time, David Goldman was not allowed to even see his son. Sympathizers have donated nearly a half million dollars to cover legal expenses and travel and lodging expenses for the distraught father. Does Hamas have control of the Brazilian courts and government for Jews to be so despised and hated that the well being of a little boy who loves his birth father is treated like a POW case with America the enemy and Brazil the captor of the boy?

the thousands of Palestinians being held captive and subjected to abuse by Israel?

HAYDAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you ever heard the term "addle-headed"? It means somebody whose brains are a bit scrambled...although that description might be too benign where your comment is concerned because you're equating a soldier who was kidnapped in his own country and hasn't even been allowed visits from the Red Cross to prisoners in Israel who not only get visits from their families, but also get more amenities than many people living in Third World countries.

If we take the facts of the past 24 years into account we can safely say that whoever demands to free Gilad "at any price" is actually sentencing him to death. I hope that I am wrong, but the real meaning of "any price" is that there is no price. The terrorists understand that time is on their side. The more cruel that they are, the more that they conceal information and even if they G-d forbid murder their captive and bargain for his body - the price that they will exact from Israel will only rise.

Even if it takes 100000000000000000000 bikers, people and protests, shalit will not be freed because you cannot compare 11,000 prisoners to 1 soldier. Unless isreal releases who hammas wants, this problem will not be solved.

free Gilad now.

Idea/ strategy.Inform Hamas and gazans that unless Mr. Shalit is released alive and unharmed within 48 hours Gaza will be nuked,world opinion be damned.Guaranteed to concentrate a few minds.Oh,and be pepared for them to call your bluff.

the release of the many thousands of Palestinian hostages , or are they just a bunch of Prats on bikes.
