31. To Larry (#2) and Larry's Mate in Australia (#6)
Jasmin ,   Haifa   (10.17.11)
I resent the implication that I'm too emotional to think straight. I've given this A LOT of thought (over 5 years of it!) and come to the conclusion that we must bring Gilad Shalit home. Yes, the price is heavy. That is why it is critical that Israel at strongly in the future so the Palestinians will understand that 1)we are not weak and 2)kidnappings are a REALLY bad idea. You know, it's pretty easy to sit over there in your different countries and pontificate.
32. 3, thanks to the shalits
danny   (10.17.11)
you may yet get to experience both a kidnapping and terror attack. if not you then for sure someone
33. 5 Realizations
Menachem Ben Yakov ,   Yerushalayim, Israel   (10.17.11)
When you are willing to negotiate endlessly the enemy will never stop making demands. When you place higher value on the lives of your enemies than the lives of your countrymen the enemy will never stop fighting. When you are are willing to abandon territory even when that territory is used for launching missiles at your cities the enemy will never stop demanding territory. When you are willing to trade 1000 murderers for one kidnapped soldier the enemy will never stop kidnapping soldiers. When you are willing to dig your own grave the enemy is happy to hand you the shovel.

35. polls
colin   (10.17.11)
Again the outright lies,untruths and falsehood by the press 79% of the population is against the filthy deal to grovel to the hamas.The shalis family must have a very close relationship with the press editors and politians to have daily advertiseing to get the swop of murderers and criminals The whole deal stinks as said by the american press.
36. israeli poll = gov propaganda
(10.17.11)
37. whose poll??
Mark ,   USA   (10.17.11)
I don't believe it!!
38. wait a few days
sashaba ,   Toronto, Canada   (10.17.11)
this poll was taken on october 16. give it a week and make another poll. for 5.5 years the press and the public were crying "free gilad shalit". the conversation will now shift to the victims' families and their outrage. i am already experiencing my mind change slightly, i suspect the general public will shift its opinion too. this is a VERY very bad deal. there was a time not very long ago at all, when killers "with blood on their hands" would not be released. then the monster Samir Kuntar was released, which opened the floodgate to hundreds of murderers being released. the feeling really is sickening to the stomach and overwhelms the feeling of joy about seeing Gilad free
39. This poll is very scary, if it's accurate.
Chaim ,   Israel   (10.17.11)
I hope this is just another in a long series of ludicrous leftist manipulated polls. I hope 79% of Israelis don't support the lunacy of freeing more than 1,000 murderous terrorists to ransom a single soldier. I hope most Israelis know there are far better ways to free Israelis from terror, and keep them from being kidnapped in the first place. This poll is very scary, if it's accurate.
40. #10. Oz and Neverland have better chance of statehood...
Chaim ,   Israel   (10.17.11)
#10. Thankfully, we don't have to imagine a world without Palestine. Palestine is forever fictional. All the boasts and threats about what would happen in September have been proven hollow. Watch Latma's satirical skit on it. It's hillarious. Whether Salma, and her ilk, want to believe it or not. Oz and Neverland have a better chance of statehood than Palestine.
41. RE-GILAD
Esther ,   Selkirk Canada   (10.17.11)
ISRAEL'S SAFETY MUST BE FIRST
42. If IDF troops had RFID chips implanted in them, as awful
Rivkah   (10.17.11)
as that sounds, they can be tracked by GPS if captured. Prince William of Britain has an RFID chip implant. If the implant breaks, radioactive iridium is released into the body which is not good but hopefully, the captive is tracked and rescued before that happens.
43. Lets not forget a REAL incarcerated Jewish hero
Saul ,   Florida, US   (10.17.11)
Jonathon Pollard still rots incarcerated in the racist USA. He is one of the greatest Jewish heroes of the last hundred years, but yet so outside of Israel will stick their necks out to stand with him. What I want to know is why is Eric Cantor not openly fighting for his release? He said he would fight Israel's corner against the US government, but I have not heard a word of solidarity from him with Israel's greatest son. Probably just a gutless fear of offending the goyim.
44. Don't know how 79% want to do this swap?
Momo ,   Israel   (02.14.12)
Everyone I have asked sais it was a bad Idea!?
