when this young man has been a POW for all this time. The Israeli government should be ashamed of itself. A Syrian or Lebanese hostage being held in Israel could have been traded for this man long ago. Think what will happen to Shalit and the others? Will they be old men in prison because of the intransigence of the Israeli government?

this is in the news. Why the silence, and what about Katz and Feldman? How many more are there? Is this what will happen to the 3 that were kidnapped this year?...is this what their families can expect...the years of wondering like the Baumel family? Come on USA, he is your citizen, dont desert him like so many MIA's in Veitnam. And Israel..stop family visitation of the terrorist you hold. ......oh did forget, there will be one hell of an outcry, yes of course its a one sided thing isnt it?

I don't know if these guys are really alive or not, but I agree with No. 3, they are far more deserving of support and compassion than Pollard.

Syrian government officials should be tried for war crimes in breaking the geneva convention rules. This correct world citizen. End of the message.

The Arabs obviously don't care about each individual plebian that they use for terrorism! The Israeli government should capture the heads of the Syrian government including Bashad and use him as ransom for our soldiers!!!! HaShem ya'azor, HaShem imachem!

this summer agreed a ceasefire and the captives should be reliesed! Are they free??? Still israel gave in to all their condition ! Lost ALL barganing chips !
