Beautiful words. Beautiful words. Thank you for lifting my heart.

As someone said, they got criminals and we have a hero in return. The arab muslim mentality at it best, this journalist prostitute wanted the 2 minutes of fame. She should be confined to a remote island. Disgusting. God bless Shalit and the State of Israel

Well said. It was a sad sad sight.

I have to laugh. Look at what's going on in your country. Look at what's going on in Syria. Is it any wonder that we think you are uncivilized jackals? Give us a reason to think otherwise. If the "racial slurs" are the truth, how do you propose to counter them? And if it is truth, it is not slander, is it? Here's a thought: try acting like civilized human beings. Otherwise, just shut up. We've seen the pictures .... and a picture speaks a thousand words. You people are beneath contempt. Deal with it.

The author is correct. Arab mentality is totally infected by pure hatred towards Jews. No doubt. However Israeli authorities should have thought of this. They have an experience of 6-7 decades dealing with Arab governments. They should have warned the Egytian autorities in advance that Gilad is to be handed over to Israelis without any intermediate procedure. That they did not think of this? If they supposed that Egypt is a normal civilised country like Israel,it is wrong! Now it's time for Egypt to apologize! Israel should demand this without delay! Or apology to another government is only a one way road?

While returning home a captive soldier is a country's duty, paying for it with the blood of dozens of future terror victims, and letting the most horrific crimes go unpunished, is a very shoddy deal. My country has lost its sanity.

The Arabs may have won in numbers only, but one more time have shown to the world that they consistently believe that an Arab life is worth a thousand times less than an Israeli life. Why do they continue to demean themselves so much? Where is their self-esteem?

of their prisoners. That's how much they are willing to pay. If they can get 3000 prsoners to free 1 they would do so. Hope no one will enter prison on either side. TOOOOOOOO much pain on both sides. Otherwise, this cycle will never end

laugh the way I am laughing now after reading your remark.... and so darn callous but absolutely truthful lol!

As my father once said, arabs couldn't punch their way out of a paper bag. They are NOTHING without a rifle! and I say, even with a rifle, they still have no brain and remain NOTHING!

It's very-very curious that little Jarda, the antisemite is playing mum and AWOL after multiple posters brought up his own contries cruel, inhuman deeds and he totally ignores it. But appears eevry time when it comes to bash Jews and Israel. Isn't this the exact definition of antisemitism???

The truth is that the "racists" are right. You'll just have to correct your view of reality, because you are demonstrably wrong.

Yes. Pretty much. But I cut Jarda some slack -- he is a poorly educated lout.

Welcome, Mr. Lieberman. We wish you a very good and brave start!

Oh, the cycle can end. Israel just needs to finally accept the fact that we are dealing with terrorist subhumans who ascribe to a philosophy of violence and "jihad" .... and that we need to destroy them. They suck the life out of everything they touch. They do not deserve to live.

You need to read Mark Twain's "Innocents Abroad." He traveled to Palestine; the relevant chapter is called "Palestine Sits in Sackcloth and Ashes." He describes a barren and barely inhabited land, full of malarial swamps in the north and desert in the south. It was not until the Jews of the First and Second Aliyot came, and reclaimed the land, built farms and villages and towns; museums and cultural centers; established a symphony orchestra and basically built a nation from nothing that the ersatz "Palestinians" came. The only occupiers in the land of Israel are the Arabs. The ersatz "Palestinians" come principally from the Hejaz in the Western Arabian desert, but some of the illegal squatters also come from Syria, Egypt and Lebanon. Moreover, the West Bank is non-sovereign territory. No people have a claim to it other than the Jews, pursuant to the Balfour Declaration and the San Remo Agreement. Israel acquired the West Bank in the course of fighting a defensive war against Jordan. It is, under all precepts of international law and convention, Israel's to settle, keep and annex. And annex we will, and when we do, all those illegal Arab squatters will be repatriated to Jordan, country of their citizenship. You really need to acquire an education before posting on these threads. Your ignorance is shameful. This assumes, of course, that you would prefer not to make a fool of yourself. If that is not the case, however, there are quite a few contributors to this Forum that will be more than happy to accommodate you. Starting with me.

You have yet to answer the question I posed to you in my post at No. 40. What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?

judaism lost as they breached the biblical command of not "ransoming the life of a murderer".islam won as they showed that their belief in their g_d is much much stronger.islam and the koran dictate that once land is muslim noone else has a right to it .if the jews form a state on this muslim land all muslims must wage waragainst it.this victory will reinforce their belief structure to the detriment of the state of israel.in psalms _"g_d will bless israel with strength g_d will bless israel with peace".israel in this world needs strengtg to have peace.this deal shows israel doesnt have either belief or strength and will not have peace.

The globalists have won another round. All of you are bickering about the Israelis and Palestinians, and not about the unseen hand behind events and news outlets.

discrepance between a pale young boy who suffered imensley and a herd of criminals. Nobody with reason, from this world, can consider killers of children as heroes. Indeed, the article is not "racist" as some stupid person said, it't absolutely correct. And that so called sexy woman from Egypt showed the world that she is a cannibal.

Israel wants to be left alone in peace and not have her people blown up by rockets, bus bombs, backpack bombs, and whatever else Palestinians can come up with. Palestinians want to wipe Israel off the face of the planet. Israel got back one hero, where they have millions more. Palestine got back dozens of terrorists, where they have hundreds of thousands more. Palestine can (and probably will, in enough time) kill hundreds or thousands of defenseless, innocent men, women and children with the people released. Israel's got one war hero back. Trying to say Palestine got less back because they're ruthless murderers and terrorists and Muslim fundamentalists is ignorant and illogical, both.

We brought home our beloved son Gilad Shalit . G-d listened to our weekly prayer, all over the world, in every Shul for his release. As I wrote before we got a 400 hp Ferarri for the price of 1027 donkeys. And we do not have to feed them a chicken each :)

A rare honest Israeli

"Comments containing incitement, slander, racist slurs and inappropriate language deemed to violate our terms of use won't be published. " and yet you publish this on your website?? hate mongering is what it is! it might've been a ridiculous piece of insensitive "journalism" (and that is pretty much what the media is these days), but when you talk like this, you lower yourself. you become no better than those you berate.

Oh, just shut up. You are not capable of recognizing a Western democracy if you were to trip over it. Israel is a far better example of Western democracy than most places. If you do not recognize that, then you are not capable of appreciating much of anything.

Still waiting for your response to my question at No. 40. Or are you explicitly acknowledging that you have no answer, because there is none? You're quite the fraud.

Shalit was captured while he was 19 and he was freed in 19 of his age ... 5 years was in hopless to be free otherise he could keep silence no one can oblige him to speak but sure he is young he was only 19 years
