Clearly Obama has been busy. Hamas has already declared it will cease all rocket attacks...

..no hostility, no bombardment, no dead Arabs.. ..doesn't seem good enough to him. Idiot.

giving 450 terrorists freedom? what happened to not giving in to terror? Goldstone/UN protects terror tactics, gives in to terror- now Israel how can you be bothered at the UN. You also give in to terror. sick

You fail to understand (gee, there's a surprise!). Once Shalit is home where he belongs, Hamas is history. Do you think that this is the first time they have promised to stop the missile launches? The random acts of terror and attempted terror (remember the "bird-hunting" episode?). Hamas has absolutely no credibility, and once Shalit has been repatriated, Hamas will be destroyed, root and branch.

goldstone gave in to terror. israel you too?

CRAP, there was rocket attack on Israel on Saturday evening. Hamas says one thing & means another, havent you realized that yet?

Its plain to see that the only reason Shilat hasn't returned is that IDF think they can pull of a covert rescue mission and achieve the glory. Rather cynical I would say.

always be the exception to the rule of those I loathe. You're rude, crude, and downright vile. Do you really think we give a damn about what you think? Don't forget, it was us wimpy Jews that freed your American missionaries that had been held captive for years in South America just 6 months ago. What did your govt. do? Oh yeah, they wimped out and just left them there. It was us wimpy Jews who defeated all the armies in the region in the 6 day war. It was us wimpy Jews that held the enemy off as they attacked us on our holiest day of Yom Kippur. Just because we don't act according to your time frame, or the way your meglomaniac president wants us to, does not mean we are wimpy. We are the bravest and strongest fighters in the world today.You live in the luxury of your home in the US. But everday here we face new challenges. It's part of our heritage and our life. I dare say that we could out last you in the very face of terror and danger itself. And you, well you would have to go home and change your underware because you just soiled your wimpy self!

Hamas will have to shoot at it own if Israel or Egypt let Palestinians cross the border. Hamas has proven themselves selfish bastards and has not improved the lives of Palestinians as they promised. They have used the public resources for building a war machine and got more funds from Iran. Nice job of helping your Muslim brothers Mullahs. Hamas will continue them impoverishment and lack of development that the Palestinians have always suffered at the hands of its leaders. They take the billions from Arab countries, the US, the EU, and UN and stash the monies away for their personal enrichment. Hamas is the prison guards not the Israelis. The Israelis just want to keep the sewage from spilling out of the prison.

Yes, I'd agree that you are rather cynical. Good thing the IDF doesn't share your cynicism.

more Jews? Just for one guy? Are you frigging high? If I had a kid killed by the prisoners that are released in this deal. Someones head would roll. This is a suicide move by the Israeli government. These murderers will come back and kill hundreds more for one kids life.

I SEE IT DIFFERENT. ISRAEL SHOULD RELEASE THOSE MURDERERS, TO KILL THEM AFTERWARDS IN TARGET KILLINGS. IN PRISON THEY CAN NOT DO THAT, AND WHY FEED THE WOLVES IN PRISON ???. IF ISRAEL FAIL TO DO THIS, THAT IS ANOTHER MATTER. Arn-Orao.

That Cast Lead was a cast iron failure.. It is Hamas that the inmates of Gaza voted for.. It is Hamas that sets the price of dear Shalit. and if Israel wants him back then it is Hamas that the Zionist need to talk with. Oddly enough Hamas is a Zionist creation to counter Fatah... Hamas destroyed? In yer dreams Sarah.
