so, who are they going to trade him for now? the hammas in fattah jails or the fattah in hammas jails. how come these people have time to kidnap others. don't they work? he's spanish for crying out loud. what can he possibly give you. you mafia thugs! so now fattah and hammas are competing not only in how many guns they possess and how many they can kill on each other's side, but also how many foreigners they can kidnap. what a sick society, if it can even be called that. these people are neanderthals......homos erectus!

Maybe Moratinos gives them more money to encourage them to kidnap more people.

they are terrorists and, therefore stupid. they have their own convoluted logic that justifies the unjustifiable. they do things which have absolutely no value and, in fact, do more harm to themselves than anyone. do not try to understand them. they focus intently on the tiniest minutiea that they forget which way is up.

to have him convert at gun point, and then hold a press conference and hail the Palestinians for the great, warm, loving people that they are. That's all. They need a little positive PR.

Stupid Palestinians. Why are they biting the hands that feed them?

most Pali men are homosexuals, women never get taken cause there not interested! They are all taking after the founder of the Pally cause the queer Arafat!

Again we see the kind of people that roam the streets in these areas. People all over the world know that these are un-educated, brainwashed, violent men who's sole purpose is to terrorize, BUT yet Israel is expected to make peace and live side by side with them. Doesn't this seem unfair???

i was being a bit sarcastic. you need not give me, an israeli, the reasons behind these kidnapings. i know only too well how it's done and why. but, i still can't comprehend how people live like this. what's the logic?, the purpose? i live here in the usa and am a former israeli, been through the wars, etc....and i still can't make sense of these actions no matter their motives. the future looks very bleak. we'll never be able to change this abcess on our borders.

Am I the only one getting the irony of this statement by Hamas? They dig tunnels to kidnap IDF soldiers (Gilad Shalit) for the purpose of extortion, then they condemn kidnappings because it supposedly makes them look bad?! Even the usually somber George Orwell would have to have a good laugh at this one!
