3. because Hamsawias are not fed caviar like Israel's soldiers

4. Gilad Ate Like a Poor Israeli
Orly ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (10.21.11)
"There wasn't a shortage of food, they didn't starve Gilad, but the menu was primarily Gazan and not really nutritious," he said. "There were pitas and a lot of hummus." Yep, that's what poor people here subsits on.
5. It is our unanimous belief that hummus is very nourishing.
The Quartet   (10.21.11)
We also believe that sunlight and Vitamin D are bad. Shame on the Israeli prison system for not following the healthful guidelines established by Hamas.
6. Slowly but surely...
Vlad   (10.21.11)
Gilad is opening up, and we will soon understand the extent of Hamas' barbarity.
7. Ayzeh Chutzpah
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (10.21.11)
Gilad couldn't get a decent meal, while Palestinian's in our jails demanded special & additional foods for their holidays and the rest of the year Since they felt Humus was good enough for Gilad, let's fill their breakfast, lunch & dinner plates accordingly, no more soft drinks, water is more than adequate And for good measure, remove their TV sets, Gilad only had a radio to listen to when given permission Equal treatment for the rats in our jails, that way they can't holler that they're being discriminated against
8. Maybe His Bubbie Could Fix Some Chicken Soup
(10.21.11)
with Kreplach/Matzos balls, Some Chopped Liver with Challa (braided with seeds) of coarse, Flankin, with Kasha and Wash it down with a Good cold Canadian Beer (Labatts Blue) and for desert a Big Piece of Seven Layer cake. Bubbie add abisil more Smaltz for Your Hero Grandson!!!!!!!!!!!! Shabat Shalom
9. Dr. Bill Campbell Douglass II talks about captives who were
Rivkah   (10.21.11)
fed a diet of eggs cooked in the shell on a campfire as their only food besides water who lost weight but were well nourished from that. He concluded an eggs only diet is health sustaining in such situations. If the humus had been with rice, that is a complete protein and would have been a complete protein like eggs. A diet of partial proteins and carbohydrates (pita bread) can lead to an early life stroke which is something vegetarians and vegans don't want to know or believe. They pretend they are healthier than meat and egg and dairy eaters, but they are not in the long run.
10. Shalit's diet.
Chas. ,   Los Angeles   (10.21.11)
Shalit ate as well as the average Gazan, and probably as well as many Holocaust survivors. You Jews should stop whining and stop playing the eternal victims.
11. "the menu was primarily Gazan".
michael redbourn ,   Arad Israel   (10.21.11)
Whilst not wanting in anyway to defend Hamas, the statement that Gilad received a, "menu that was primarily Gazan" is not going to gain much traction. It's like saying that a prisoner in France was served frog's legs and snails. Just being a prisoner of Hamas for five years must have been terrifying, but considering he was under house arrest all that time, he's not in bad shape.
12. Overjoyed that our boy is finally home with us
Talula ,   Israel   (10.21.11)
I was in London when he was returned home, the news covered every detail of his release, strangely before Israeli TV?. What a great and wonderful thing. They are a very special family who dealt with their son's kidnapping with dignity and resolve. I wish them all a peaceful happy and healthy life. Welcome home Gilad - it's great to have you home.
13. lah lah!
Salma ,   Palestine   (10.21.11)
14. learn Israel, learn!
tiki ,   belgium   (10.21.11)
A Gazan diet of Pita's with lot's of chumus! No sunshine and no visitors! All this WITHOUT any consequences for his diabolical captors from the rightious Western world, the Human Rights NGO's and all the other nauseating hypocrits, who are always ready to tell Israel how it has to behave according to human rights & international law. It's about time Israel learned some lecons here!
15. I am glad to hear of anything new
(10.21.11)
About what he went through. Thank you for these updates. I am hoping he will write a book some time.
16. Will Israel formally demand legal action against Hamas?
William ,   Israel   (10.21.11)
What they did with the kidnapping and detention of Shalit was nothing less than a war crime and crime against humanity. It may not yield much but it could keep these scum from being invited by idiot politicians in Russia and the EU.
17. Ignorance...
shira ,   canada   (10.22.11)
LOL You can't find food to feed yourselves? Have to depend on Israel? Open your eyes!
18. To #1, Pal prisoners get whole chickens
Carl ,   USA   (10.21.11)
Palestinian prisoners weren't satisfied with normal portions of meat; they went on a hunger strike to get whole chickens and are demanding satellite TV.
19. #4 Orly, are you trying to say
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (10.22.11)
that the poor don't have a tomato or cucumber & a bit of onion to go along with their repast, that's rather difficult to believe Are the "poor" also confined to a dungeon while they eat orare they allowed to go outside and get a bit of sun after they're finished eating?
20. #8 Rivkah
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (10.22.11)
I don't believe that Hamas offered a menu for his to select from
21. #10 Chas., You've been to Gaza ?
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (10.22.11)
Arab prisoners in Israeli jails receive a hell of a lot better diet than Shalit did, when they get of jail, then have a tendency to look plump, not emaciated as Gilad appeared to be They complain constantly, demanding extra food for their Holidays, there are incessant demands are always in the news, they also complain when they don't think they're getting a large enough of a variety of cable TV programs You, should stop showing what a hateful anti-Semitic jackass you are, we know it already Gazans are living high on the hog, stuffing themselves will all the food they scrounge off UNWRA, their shops are overflowing with food & sundries, new Hotels & Mega Malls
22. Tell me William, Why is Capturing an Enemy Soldier
Doug ,   Rochester, USA   (10.21.11)
in full uniform while he is in a tank a war crime? And also tell me why kidnapping 10,000 unarmed Pal civiilians in an occupied territory and holding them in prisons, outside the occupied territory that they are from not a war crime? Read the 3rd and 4th Geneva Convention. Stop reading Hasbara, and stop spouting Hasbara.

''subsits' ?? whats that??
24. to#10
anita ,   finland   (10.21.11)
One more cold- hearted person on the planet earth
25. To: No. 22
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.22.11)
No, why don't YOU read which Geneva Convention protocols have been repudiated by the United States. the United Kingdom, France and Israel? To name but a few. Gaza is not a country. Hamas operatives cannot pretend to be enemy soldiers -- that is not how international law and convention operates. What Hamas did was purely outside the law. They are not a nation, and cannot claim international indemnity under ANY of the Hague or Geneva Conventions. Boy, are you ever dumb!
26. To: No. 13
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.22.11)
I am reasonably certain that you, being an ersatz "Palestinian" woman, are already grossly overweight and disgusting looking, but I would VERY strongly suggest that you chow down long and hard before we send you to Jordan, country of your citizenship. I daresay that food might be a little more hard for you to come by in Jordan. In fact, I'm pretty certain. I hope you gather up your mother's tiny feet -- from Jerusalem, or Akko, or Jaffa, or wherever else you may have claimed to come -- and eat up. In Jordan, it's about to become Ramadan for you, every day of the year. Without, needless to say, the festive nightly dinners. Lah Lah!
27. 7 Ben Jabo, Israel: How did Gilad watch the Tour de France
Rivkah   (10.22.11)
on radio?
28. 16 William, Israel: Israel detains people like the British
Rivkah   (10.22.11)
did there long ago without filing charges by law, indefinitely, for a lot of prisoners. How many prisoners were released who were simply in detention as Gilad Shalit was with no charges filed against them for a long time? Some murderers were released, but how many were detainees who where never charged with a crime?
29. #27 Rivkah
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (10.22.11)
Thus far all the news indicated that he was only allowed to hear some radio broadcasts On my checking further, he told someone that he saw some TV, nature & sports programs, which is a lot less that Arab prisoners in Israeli jails get to see They demand extensive access to all types of viewing Shalit is far worse off than the Arab prisoners we hold, who demand whole chickens and special foods for their Holidays
30. #28 Rivkah - It is called "REMAIND"
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (10.22.11)
America does the same thing, by setting a high bail before they release a prisoner You seem to be an admirer of other forms of detention, maybe confinement to prison without any chance to meet with the family or an attorney I have a better idea, why not name an Arab country that is more lenient in dealing with prisoners than Israel is, then go there to live, since you seem to admire their style of justice so much
