1. Olmert, the Crook, will do anything to get away with his Tax
David E. ,   Jerusalem   (04.10.07)
scandal. The more terrorists he hopes to release, the more the Left will look away at his corruption.
2. are you crazy - 450 ? no way
israel   (04.10.07)
3. I feel for Shalit and his family...
(04.10.07)
BUT a hostage for 450 prisoners (who will be back to terror within days of release) is madness. What to do?
4. Israel , an expert in getting the Bad Deal
Marcel ,   Florida   (04.10.07)
What incredible suckers and fools to allow so many Islamic ,errorist killers back out to kill again. Israel self destructs under a quisling leader who betrays his own p[eople and rewards those intent on Israel's destruction. Israel, your hope is only in your God. Runt to Him while you can.
5. Screw the 450 instead give them LOL mert & peretz
Jason ,   Israel   (04.10.07)
The 2 imbeciles are more damaging and and harmful to Israel . Why? 1. They destabilized And weakened the entire country - Gush Katif and many other uprooted settlements, now judenrein. 2. Weakened & demoralized our il prepared army last Summer in Lebanon. 3. They lied and still lie that Israel infact benefitted from these 2 failures. 4. Endless political & financial scams that sap our morale and belief in the overnmental leadership. Lets see if Y Net's got guts to publish this.
6. British Lesson
Xaxam ,   Rehovot   (04.10.07)
1. Give Hanie the deadline of 48 hours to free Shalit. Noncompliance means open hostility, hence the offices of the "Government" will be destroyed. Let him play hide-and-seek a la Nasrallah. 2. Warn that in case a single hair falls from Shalit's head, exactly the 450 people listed will be executed.
7. SHUT UP ALL OF YOU . JUST GET THE BOY BACK TO HIS FAMILY !
(04.10.07)
8. #7-know what is war?-"boy" was on duty,isn't?
Officer ,   Navy   (04.10.07)
9. Stop it in the name of future generations!
Ralph ,   USA   (04.10.07)
Decision to free terrorists (particularly those with blood on their hands) is not only stupid & immoral but in fact it is criminal: it invites more coffins, more crippled children, orphans, generations of unborn children, an enormous political, psychological and financial loss, and so on. DON'T DO IT>
10. Shalit
Fed up of the PA! ,   Jerusalem   (04.10.07)
Forget it - we don't deal with idiots.. we have them in the Knesset.. so we should just send in our army to any country that our intelligence shows he is.. get him and get out! or, we can play it differently.. take back the GAZA TILL THE BOY IS BACK!
11. #7 - Would Shalit want to be traded for 450 criminals?
Historical Observer ,   USA   (04.10.07)
Think about what they are considering, these aren't false arrests, random vagrants, or even misdermeanor convicts. These are blood-thirsty, smiling-to-kill-again, scum of the slum arabs that will only be justified in returning to their job of attacking Israelis if they are released. Releasing a prisoner is more serious than you are thinking. What message does this send to other arabs contemplating to follow the law or take a small risk in getting arrested but being released if another soldier is captured? This is a mistake to even consider. The list should be return with a wad of spit on it to the palestinians. The terms of Shalit's release should be executing these criminals and arresting PA for blackmailing the Israeli government's soldiers!
12. The terrorists will keep kidnapping until there won't
Akiva ,   Toronto   (04.10.07)
be any prisoners left to exchange. What will Israel do then?
13. #7 YOU DON'T CARE HOW MANY JEWS WILL BE
John Stuart   (04.10.07)
by these criminals. There will be many. As far as you concern, it doesn't matter, it"s not you business. If this is the case, get out of Israel.
14. Keep in mind that they are criminals
Steven ,   San Francisco   (04.10.07)
and this is a kidnap and ransom situation and that they do not have any honor.
15. Abbas needs Shalit to be released
Ilan ,   Ariel   (04.10.07)
It is not all one way, if Israel refuses to let up on sanctions etc.. so long that Shalit is imprisoned then they will have to come down to earth with their demands. There are prisoners that within the next 6 months that Israel could release. We can also put pressure on them by canceling family visits etc as a means of exerting pressure. And finally we can cut off water and electricity as a last resort. As long as they think that they hold all the cards they will call all the shots. Being wimps has kept Shalit imprisoned, a return to sanity will bring about his freedom.
16. He is dead.! 500 living for 1 dead. NO!
Bhaskar ,   Toronto, Canada   (04.10.07)
17. What If??
edwin ,   Canada   (04.10.07)
What if Israel were to agree to release all the asked-for terrorists and later reneged on the deal after Shalit is released into Egyptian custody? What would Egypt do? Would she have any world creditability if she didn’t return the hostage?
18. conflict victims
Sami Nazzal ,   Jenin   (04.10.07)
the current Israeli government which is undoubtedly weak doesn't care about the safety of Shalit as many soldiers die on every day basis of mishaps or incursions into territories of no use to israel
19. Proof of life first. If Olmert does not do this..
(04.10.07)
Olmert himself should be put on trial and convicted and JAILED for the rest of his life for treason.
20. you were lied to
jICK   (04.10.07)
the list is more like 1400 terrorists
21. #7 i believe you should SHUTUP
(04.10.07)
22. #6: Hardball!
Rick ,   Bmore   (04.10.07)
There is a certain appeal to this idea. However, two issues: 1. you really have to be ready to go to war. 2. You really have to be ready to execute the 450. Bluffing will not work and failure to follow through would make matters worse. In a democracy the courts may attempt to halt the executions. That would also throw things off. Appealling but not really workable.
23. #18 "The current Israeli government
David E. ,   Jerusalem   (04.10.07)
which is undoubtedly weak" doesn't care about the safety of its citizens. Shalit is 1 Israeli citizen, but what about the safety of the rest of Israel once these terrorists animals are let loose???
24. #7 Get the boy back
David E. ,   Jerusalem   (04.10.07)
and put Israel in a bigger danger once they terrorists animals are let loose. Twisted logic!
25. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!! READ
oloollool   (04.10.07)
450 palis for 1 israeli soldiers LOLOLOL HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHASDASAHHAHAHA LOOLOL OLOLLOLOOLOL OLLOOLOLOL, everytime they confirm how worthless they are!
26. STOP THESE IDIOTS!
Ralph ,   USA   (04.10.07)
They want trade one soldier for 450 professional murderers. It will cost Israel dearly by thousands of broken lives: both civilian and military, men, women and children ( may be their own), incalculable financial loss. It will stimulate more kidnappings and more deaths. STOP IT!
27. Why is there electricity and fuel in Gaza?
Name ,   City & country   (04.10.07)
Want food? Give soldier!
28. You have a very good point !!!
Baruh ,   Los Angeles   (04.10.07)
29. what happened to the lefty-adored
shoshana   (04.10.07)
"palestinian lives are worth as much as israeli lives"? Guess that only works when they try to make Israel (who is going through soo much to get one of its kids back - while any arab state would no doubt let him rot) look like a tyrant state... Otherwise....I guess 1 israeli = 450 palestinians? hm...This puts a whole new perspective on'Israeli war crimes', doesn't it?
30. 120 PEOPLE WHERE KILLED BECAUSE OF PRISON RELEASE.
TOM BENS ,   USA   (04.10.07)
ISREAL LEADERS ARE STUPIED AS THEY COME.
