Don't under-estimate your leaders. What might sound bending to pressure may not be what it is. Your leaders know what they are doing. Trust them, they weren't born yesterday.

It is people like you the Nazi and terrorist sympathizers that are responsible for all the hate in this world. For years Jews have been killed and terrorized where do you get off saying that the Jews are blood thirsty. How many times have we done a prisoner exchange before just so that it can lead to a situation like this. Ron you’re an American like me what would you be saying if events like the world trade center happened a couple times a month? Would you say we should not try to stop them. Or instead we shout give them stuff so they will stop? You and others like you have to learn there is terror in this world and it is not the Jews it is these organizations that have Nazi like propaganda and values. Please so me a favor and before you write your next message go and educate yourself. However just as we have survived countless attempts to be wiped off the face of the planet by people like you and the other terrorist and bigots we will prevail again.

The truth is the Muslims play by a different set of rules. At some point the US will have to reinstitute the draft and engage the Iranians. This hopefully will occur before they are able to become a nuclear player. If we went in and snuffed these dogs in a decisive way, Korea and China would have a much different attitude. I am not for war, but it is becoming apparent that these people do not understand any form of logic. Their religious leaders are some of the most backward and barbaric people on the planet. They hate our guts, but are happy to use the technology that was invented and developed in the west against us. It is so ironic to see someone like Bin Laden strutting around with a cell phone and lap top, while using this technology to kill our people. They hate and despise us, but it’s ok to use our technology to better their lives. On another, but related subject. I firmly believe that we could strengthen our national security 1000% by becoming energy self sufficient. We have the ability to convert our entire economy into a bigger power than we already are. If we imitated what the Brazilians have done, we would be in a much stronger position. The economic prosperity that would be created in this country would be unimaginable. The jobs would be created in farming, mechanical, engineering, construction, technical and transportation/logistics. To think futuristically about the possibilities of converting an entire nation over to bio-diesel and ethanol are mind boggling. If we only did half of what we are capable of doing, the world would sit up and take notice. It would also send a clear signal to the Arab/Muslim Nations that their days of blackmailing the civilized world were at an end. Best regards Greg Wilson, Miami, Florida

Galid being kidnapped in Israel, was an honest man not a criminal! If the prisoners are released in Israel, one of them being a 25yr old attempted suicide comber, with any others released, that is dreadful. They are Prisoners who have committed crimes. This is NOT an equal and comparable fair exchange. Prisoners are prisoners who have commited crimes which is different to kidnapping!

Allow me to congratulate you on your nazi like racist /facist ideas whic clearly qualifies you for a war criminal. America should get rid of people with such mean moronic attitudes.

To all you Yanks, it's enough of your criticism of the Israeli gov't. It's one thing to share an opinion, it's another thing entirely to offend and insult the Israeli gov't. If you are all such ardent Zionists, then get on the next flight over here, and not be armchair Israelis from the comfort of your homes 5,000+miles away.

TRADING WITH THE TERRORISTS MAKES ONE PARTNER IN CRIME! How? MAKING KIDNAPING PROFITABLE! Wil? a) Make more kidnappings more attractive b) Will make them stop and they will say they are "truly sorry"?? c) The only way that Peres could become a Messiah (at least to the "Peresites")? d) A SURE PATH for the "ROAD MAP" BIZZARE? "IF ONE DOES NOT FEAR G-D HE WILL FEAR A WISPER OF THE FALLING LEAFS" ... a self made HYSTERIA? People are only united if they share the same values, the VALUES are cohesive force that unites the nation, fear or luck of it depends on the MORAL - STRONG - VALUES. JUSTICE IS THE LANGUAGE OF PEACE! Justice is DNA of all values that hold any civilized society together. Nation under the treat of anarchy, mass murder of civilians for only one reason ..because they are JEWS... has to defend itself ONLY BY USING THE JUSTICE not political COWARDICE -"expedience"? Paying the kidnapers with ANYTHING then EVERY JEW BECOMES A COMMODITY OF FUTURE KIDNAPING. In Beirut in the late 1970's everyone was a target of kidnapping, Germans, Swiss, Americans, French many nations paid dearly a large sum of moneys to liberate their nationals, some of them succeeded some of them did not.. but then TWO of Russian mid-ranking KGB “officials” (diplomatic staff of course..) got kidnapped mamesh early NEXT MORNING two high ranking Hizbalah goons were thrown from the fast moving car in the midst of the big MUSLIM market square naked with their testicles in their mouths.. at the NOON THE SAME DAY Hizbalah learned of their mistakes and were “more than happy” to liberate those two Russian “diplomats” unharmed (of course). When in Peking you will not speak to the local crowd in Yiddish? You will speak Chinese or use the one who knows the language so.. Russians seem to strike the “chord” in communication with “local” goons better than anyone else did so far. JEWS SHOULD NOT BE A CURRENCY for the murderous thugs COST OF JEWISH LIFVES SHOULD BE TO EXPENSIVE FOR THE THUGS TO PLAY WITH. Retribution for the loss of one Jewish life should be EXACTING on EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE, and FOREVER. If Iranian freak or any other nazi-freak had a “wet dream” and wanted to kill a Jew for a “kicks” (religious or otherwise) he should know WITH ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY that he will be brought to JUSTICE. Iranian freak might think that perhaps he is safe, at his dinner table in his dinning room, he should receive Israeli cruise missile as a token of Israeli JUSTICE. Murderer at whatever capacity or whatever place should EXPECT for certain that there would be a cost perhaps a heavy cost to the EVERY-single Jewish life. If Israel would value lives of its people so should nations, if Israel is treating Jewish lives as commodity other nations will do the same.

we value life and terrorists don't - not even their own. They can't wait to chase 72 virgins. Boy are they going to be surprised.

You sick demented sad soul. Israel and the US are the victims here. I would add other countries, but most don't have the courage to stand up to terrorism. Hezbollah, Hamas, etc., don't know how to be productive members of society. They only know how to live off others' efforts. They are a tiresome burden to the world and need to be eradicated.

You and your brethren do not even know what the word "civilized" means. You are beneath contempt. By the way, the name is ISRAEL, not zionist entity.

I want ALL our boys back home. I want their parents to be able to hug them and kiss them again. I want their parents to be able to see their son's smile again. I'm not particularly worried about any prisioner swap, they will all be killed in an F16 missile attack in Gaza anyway. Let's just bring our boys home.
