Only a complet closing of the borders of the Gaza Strip, no fuel, no electricity, no humanitatian or medical assistance, a total closure, as long as needed, will bring to the liberation of Gilead Shalit. There should be no other option. More over the problem of kidnapped soldiers at : http://xrl.us/em3de

state? Then maybe the Palestinians will, as a gesture of good faith, release this unfortunate young man. Galid Shalit has done nothing wrong. He is a pawn in this war of words. But he is a human being just as the Palestinians are human beings. And as a member of the human race he derserves his freedom and a change to live in peace. Israelis face a decision that cannot be delayed much longer. Either there will be a viable contiguous Palestinian state with assess to water and the sea via Gaza or there will be one nation with equal rights and benefits to all citizens including Arab Palestinians, Christians and other minorities. Jewish Israelis cannot have everything. You cannot dissappear the Palestinian people or their aspirations. And do not let the warmongers amongst you deceive you. There is no military solution that will garrantee the future existance of the state of Israel. Anyone who tells you this `is only hastening the the eventual downfall of you nation.

Maybe what I am going to say is nonsense. But wouldnt it be possible for the IDF to go into Gaza and remove even the stones and flatten the Strip if necessary?

I think it is DISGUSTING what our government did by releasing these prisoners without getting back Shalit. We never should have released ONE PRISONER to get the coffins. We first should have seen Shalit WALK ACROSS the border. This government does NOTHING. It uses its bottom instead of its top - they probably all lack brains on top - anyway. Were are family Goldwasser and Regev - they promised to continue "fighting for the release of Gilad" after they buried their children???????? In the end it turns out that everyone is selfish and ONLY WORRIES about themselves. What kind of society are we living in. Is this what we want for our children and grandchildren?????????

dear family goldwasser and regev, since you got your dear ones back - you no longer demand the return of shalit.......you should be ashamed of yourselves. practice what YOU PREACHED..............................

"Gaza Strip, no fuel, no electricity, no humanitatian or medical assistance, a total closure" Enough with this crap.

It seems to me that Israelis have just gone insane. Now I realize that it is noble to try to get your soldiers back. But you know, in war soldiers die and get captured. That's life. Do you you sacrifice your country's security for one lonely soldier. If so, you must be crazy. There absolutely is a military solution to Israel's problems. You lack the baitzim to do it.

What they want, plus all the Kadima Party, to get back our beloved Shalit!!!!!!!!!!! Then destroy their towns!!!!!!!!!

my grandchildren - now only a year old will not serve in the IDF. i will do everything to make them leave the country. it will be hard for me to see them go - but I rather have them alive than here. the way things are today there is NO future here.

what a disgrace. for 2 coffins (and we knew they were dead )we returned how many prisoners??????????? I WANT TO SEE SHALIT WALK ACROSS the border and info on Ron Arad - then let all the prisoners go free. it only costs us money to keep them here. Where are family Goldwasser and Regev ?????- they promised to fight for the release of Shalit. They r just as trustful as Ohlmert n company. They received their goods and now keep quiet. You all should be ashamed of yourselves. I felt sorry for you, Karnit - but no longer. The REAL YOU has emerged. You got what you wanted and your fight is over.

We'd have peace just like we got peace in the North after pulling out to the mm from Lebanon and pulling out to the mm from Gaza.
