If we are not willing to pay the price for a captured soldier and they are willing to go on a military campaign to capture our soldiers for exchange of their colleagues it implies that they care more for their prisoners than we do. Not a pleasant thought.

is to do what is right for the nation as a whole. Negotiations/releasing of terrorists will only lead to further extortion, not to mention those that will die at the hands of the released. As for Y Sullivan...why are you still posting on Israeli websites pretendind to be a true convert. Most who have seen your posts know that you are nothing but a mole! Do you have that much hate in you for the Jewish people, state and religion, that you were willing to fake aconversion? Please return to the Jew hate websites instead.

David, The blood is on the hands of your government and your soldiers who kill women and children. Your government and Army are the murderors, not some brainwashed palestinian who saw his home dmolished, his father killed, his cousin imprisoned, his mother humilated, his means of living innhilated by Israel. For every Israeli's death your governmrnt and army killed 7 Palestinians. For every Israeli child who was killed Israel killed 4 children. Who is the terrorist here!!!

Actually, Mr/Ms Palestine, the brainwashed Palestinians really do have terrorists. If you read the reports of the human rights agencies who normally defend you (Amnesty Intl, Human Rights Watch), they're both pretty brutal in their conclusions about you Palestinians: suicide bombings, throat slittings and driveby shootings are "crimes against humanity" and both agencies say the perpetrators are probably war criminals too. So, hate to pop your bubble, but yes indeed, you guys have terrorists. You want your prisoners? I"ll bet you 10000 Jordanian dinars that if the Palestinians make a deal and halt all attacks and return Shalit alive, Israel will have no choice but to start releasing prisoners. In fact, you could easily build world opinion and pressure by continuing to not use violence and demand that for every month of quiet, Israel hand over 500 prisoners. See... in less than 2 years there will have been time to do some rebuilding and you get almost all your prisoners released! (sorry, Mr/Ms Pal, but the hard core terrorists only get out after you sign a peace treaty with us after closing down and disarming all the armed militias)

Israel appears to have gone insane. You have a dreadful reputation round the world for your inhumanity to ordinary Palestinians. Your fanatical settlers are just as awful as the Arab freedom fighters/terrorists. You will never have peace until you get back to your 67 borders and stop mis-treating the Palestinians. And now you are behaving like madmen in both Gaza and Lebanon, you have murdered many civilians in the past few days including three complete families and still Israeli idiots cry out to be tougher. When you have lost the sympathy of the last person outside Israel, will that satisfy you?Grow up Israel or you will be equated with the Nazis. I am an elderly man and I see similarities between your behaviour now and what began to happen in Germany in the early 30's

"Israel should implement the death penalty, and apply it retroactively to every terrorist convicted of murder. " What a joke. There are 10,000 Palestinians in "administrative detention" in Israeli jails. None of them have been given the benefit of a trial. They are not killers - and they are not convicted. It is rather a collective punishment of an occupied people in breach of every international norm. Every night the IDF enters West Bank towns "abducting" suspects. Some of these will never see their families again.

First of all its ironic how the anti-Semites constantly moan about Israelis using the Holocuast analogy but has anyone noticed how far more frequently the anti-Semite brigade use it? Secondly, this old fool in his council flat in London feels that Israel is losing sympathy worldwide. Well, grandad, according to a SKY NEWS poll conducted throughout yesterday 60% of viewers understood and supported Israels' actions against Lebanon. I don't want to give you a heart attack but support for the palestinians is crashing in Europe and support in the US FOR Israel is higher than it has been for many years. So, run along, put your slippers on and make yourself a hot cup of cocoa. Plonk yourself infront of your tv and keep watching IAF fighter bombers blast away at Beirut. Hopefully your little ticker will last long enough to see Hezbollah and the Hamas both beg for mercy. Just don't forget to fill up your hot water bottle before you go to bed at luchtime old man.

Sorry James, old I may be, stupid I am not. Your letter goes a long way to proving my point that many people who support Israel blindly and unthinkingly are just unintelligent and biassed. I am not at all anti-semite,and by the way ,both Jews and Arabs are Semites. I am anti Israel when it behaves badly,as it sometimes does. I should try some anti-bile medicine, it may make you feel better. N C.

Better to kill terrorist giving them slow poison in their food. Forget Islamic country's concerns. They want to wipe out Israel.

negotiations. They never were. They don't even want a country. Their sole objective is to destroy Israel.

David, I agree with your piece here. You have taught your children well with your life since Wurzweiler. May our enemies be utterly vanquished. David Mozes WSSW '79

As we have said for quite some time now, we are living in the end days. How very interesting to be alive in such a time as these. To very possibly be somewhat actual witnesses to the end of the end of one age and the beginning of the beginning of the next. It is a bit of a blurred line, huh? A time when a dad would be forced vocalize a desire for the safety of his son, and in return, possibly a major victory in the ruination of his country...except for one major concern...God Almighty! Can't you just almost smell the sweetness of the beauty of the soon coming Rapture of the Saints? Martyrdom will indeed soon sweep this entire planet, and those left here will all know and feel the bitter taste of it's inevitable victory. MartyrsoftheCross.com Larry Skelf

No where in the Bible is a rapture mentioned. You will fry like the rest of us in the Coming Nuclear Third World War. I like my saints extra crispy. Read your Bible and not listen to your poor protestant dribble from your college drop-out minister who got his preaching license from a box of Captain Crunch. Better yet, if the Bible is too much for you, why not watch "Veggie Tales". You could probably handle that. You will have to choose between taking the mark of the beast or being executed just like the rest of us. The mark of the beast is the verichip. http://www.oilempire.us/rfid.html Revelation 13:16-18 16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Masons are Redneck Hillbilly Sister diddling Protestants. Masonic Protestants are responsible for the mark of the beast for rejecting the true church of God. Your Punishment will be complete soon. Once saved is not always saved. The Muslims believe this and look what God is going to do to them. Reality Bites.

James you are very brave picking on an eldery person for giving his personal opinion. Maybe you'd like him to be jailed or bombed by IAF fighters. very sad to see people sink so low.
