One can only hope that the Israeli authorities will make it clear to these savages prior to their release that should they even think of involving themselves in future terror or murderous acts against Israelis the Mossad will pay them a visit.

It is sad, but the bereaved families, in their own self-centred selfishness, have probably killed Yekutiel Katz, Zecharia Baumel, Zvi Feldman, Ron Arad, Guy Hever, Majdi Halabi and they (bereaved ones) will probably murder Ilan Grapel and Gilad Shalit as well by leaving them in the enemies hands! Once again these young soldiers blood will be on your bereaved hands... You think your pain is great - what will Gilad feel when you destroy his only chance of freedom? How will he feel when you allow him to be killed? Stop killing your own & give IIan & Gilad their freedom back. They are still alive. You can absolutely do nothing to bring your loved ones back, however you can give Gilad & IIan their freedom back & lives back to them. Rather rejoice in their freedom & stop your bickering, it is only making your suffering worse..

First, that Barak cynically lied to the grieving family of our martyred soldiers is neither a news much less a surprise. What does he care about their pain, for the pain of our entire country, nor for the future lethal results of this deal with these fiends. After all, his entire pathetic life has been a sulphur-breathing lie. Oyve, as our anti-Zionist enemies around the world say, there are indeed monsters alive in Israel; only that seem to have their hellish nest in the high halls of liberal power of our beleaguered nation. May HaShem deliver us from such vile enemies of our people. Second, every soldier;s duty is to die if necessary for his nation, not a nation for any soldier. The collective security of any nation comes way ahead of that of any soldier. When Gilat Shalit allowed himself to be caught -- in any way shape or form, that is totally irrelevant -- by the filthy Arab terrorists he forfeited his life. To recompense a big band of genocidal fanatic ogres while punishing the families (and the entire country!) on behalf of a non-alert soldier is a major travesty of not only elemental justice but national HONOR. Yes, honor. Something that has totally dropped from current vocabulary due to the nefarious social action that Liberals have exerted upon society. Third, it is good to know that soon all this deranged situation will have passed and Moshiach will set all things straight. Of course, on that day there shall not be left many Arabs to make deals with, nor corrupted politicians who are easy to blackmail.

Perhaps you should then think about the future murder victims or perhaps the future abductees.... Living in SA it is pretty easy to make these decisions. For me, I live in Israel. Have three kids and one on the way...how about my family? Do we ignore Hamas when they say the "game" isn't over and let these murders out? Perhaps we should give them amnisty in SA? Would you like that?

stop being politically correct and trying to appease these beings, the fact is and always has been that these muslims are animals, they are children of satan, not some extremist minority, no! all of them, they may hide intentions but in the true light they can be seen for what they are, release them then kill them!

What a callous individual YOU are. Fancy telling these bereaved families that they are to blame for ANYTHING - what an arsehole. The greater good of the country has been dealt a major setback by this unfathomable "deal". Its a proven fact that in the past 60% of these filthy murderers commit violent crime again against Israelis. So, if it were you - would you be happy for Gilad's release only to have a member of your family murdered by one of those release terrorists???? No need to reply - we already know the answer. If that were the case - with your mentality - you'd be blaming the Shalit's for making such a big deal about getting their son released.

In the next keneset elections he should vote for the political party that was against the release of his brother murderer.

Living in SA is not easy. Genocide watch has issued a new warning to SA. Have you seen the burglar bars in front of our windows? How many times do you get up a night to check if all is still OK? How many farmers get murdered in your country on a weekly basis? How many women get raped hourly in your country? Have you seen what these barbarians do to animals - Rhinoceros? I'm not bragging, I'm sad & desperate. We also live in fear of our lives, family, jobs etc. My two sons have NO future, unless they succeed in finding employment overseas. Will you accept them in your country - so that they may also live? We will gladly emigrate to Israel any day - with all the risks associated with it. Please do not leave Gilad behind, he is still alive. How will you feel if you are left behind by your people so that you can be killed / murdered while some of your people are partying & drinking their lives away in Tel Aviv? Google "South Africa failed state" to see what I'm talking about. Free Gilad & let all the murderers fall into the Almighty Hand of the Creator. Let Him take revenge for what has been done to his people. We will continue to pray & support your people & Israel in any way we can. Shalom.

What would you do if one of your sons was gilad shalit and the other was a victim killed in a terrorist attack?

...hunting season is about to start. ;^)

and no one cares for Pollard, an Israeli spy, in prison for life in a friendly (!) American jail.

But if your son was still alive and you could do anything to save him, you would too.

What this deal tell to Palestinians is that terrorism brings success. Mahmoud Abbas and his team have been working on diplomacy and have been condemning all terror attacks and urging for non-violence. But, Hamas and Bibi government have now pushed moderate Palestinians aside with this deal. Palestinians now think that the only way works with Israel is terrorism and violence. Sadly, Hamas and Bibi will win, Mahmoud Abbas and Fatah will lose, Israeli and Palestinian people will lose as the new cycle of violence seems to be on the way. This deal sacrificises Israeli and Palestinian people for Hamas's and Bibi's political interests.

Rant and rave as much as you want, we don't care about your tears either, jackals!

Israel shouldn't free terrorist. Israel shouldn't feed terrorist. Israel should interrogate terrorist, get all the information, torture them and finally kill them. I would suggest that Israel eliminate very single terrorist they capture, therefore no terrorist organization would be motivated to kidnap Israelis thinking that there will be a future exchanged for those terrorist in jail. For every terrorist killed who is not fed during 10 or 15 years Israel should compromise to adopt a starving kid from Africa, a kid who never thought about killing, but just about living. If human beings kill animals to eat, animals that do not hurt us, why not killing this animals that try to kill us? Terrorist are animals, not human beings.

Problem solved! Tax payers money saved! Deterrence values reached!

JJ, you & your entire familyare welcome & have a place in Israel. Take the bull by the horns & make aliyah asap & wishing you all the best.

These beasts alone should be enough to stop the deal.I remember seeing the video the English reporter who had his film confiscated said he's ben in Kosovo ,Chechnya,Sudan and the Congo and never saw the bestiality.I wonder if this had been the Shalits child if they would be so happy about the deal.They should just take their son and stop talking already.BTW an Italian cameraman got the film out.

Is this the best way to get back the kidnapped Israel Soldier Gilad Shalit, by releasing MUDERERS of Israeli's? Any other Nations Leader would have demanded his release and warned the LEADERSHIP of HAMAS and the PA TERRORISTS -NEVER AGAIN!!

Only your first sentence makes sence.. ..Abbas and his cohorts has never ever yet condemned or even acknowledged the 4 decades long terror attacks and acts of war on Israel...What they may say in public has nothing to do with what they do or say among themselves, Anon. And there is no such a thing as moderate palestinians. They all are in the hands and under the "boot" of the terrorist chamas and fattah...The fact, that you would put hamas and Bibi on the same side is already an indication of a condition you could be suffering from...Check your fever or visit a doctor ....Israel will win no matter what, because they are defending their right to exist in peace on their ancient land, the rightful, lawful Nation Land of the Jewish People, Period.

like we needed any proof what a politicians word means..NOTHING, GARBAGE! all the heroes who died defending israel, all the families and friends who are the victims of terror have been sold out to enhance a few politician's carrier. what shame! we will see at the next election wether israel wants to survive, or be sent for an other 2000 years in to diaspora...

Did israel ever hear of the death penalty?!

This tells the pal animals that terrorism works,so expect more in the future...I hope there is a plan in place to track these monsters after release and send them,not to paradise,but straight to hell.

Hey JJ, where do you live, So. Africa huh? don't attack the bereaved families and they are not the only ones against this deal. yes, everyone is happy the shalits are getting their son back. but what about the rest of the people in this country, what about the bereaved families. I am lucky so far not to be bereaved but I am afraid of what this deal may bring us, so many hateful dangerous terrorists let free, hamas willing to kidnap more israelis and commit more terror. our country has set a dangerous precedent in this deal and in the previous ones. we are the ones who may suffer, not you. be quiet....

It is shameful and disrespectful to current terror victims families and future victims of terror from these terrorist that they are being released.I wonder how the Shalits will feel if these terrorist will kill someone else s child in the future. It is like the 911 planners being released.

doesnt protect citiznes then trust is lost, and citizens dont rely on gov for justice. This is bad for Israels government unfortuantely. why cant the gov honor its own mistakes of the past? Isnt yom kippur about tshuvah, or are we making the same mistakes we made with elhanan tanenbaum and releasing 1100 unrepentant murderers.
