1. Hamas prisioners are treated very well by Israel unlikeHamas
JO   (06.23.09)
treatment of Gilad Shalit. No relatives vistingt, no tv, no medical, no red cross packages, no communication, no coke cola, no stikes for fresh chicken instead of processed. no letters freely sent. no cell phone (unlike in Israeli prisons) no lawyers. nothing. Ofer Prison is a picnic, you can even use your prision sentance for an academic degree program. And Hamas in Gaza in their villas with plasmas complain.....
2. Hamas upstaging the judiciary...so what?
Ypip ,   Canada   (06.23.09)
3. so again...
ghostq   (06.23.09)
Quat "Hamas was quick to emphasize that the move is not a diplomatic gesture" is there anyone to talk to in the athority, they should say thanks, oh but they r peacefull people, Israel gives and palis take without giving nothing in return, well at least on pages of History it will say that Israel acted right.
4. Israel"s Chateau D'if
Gideon Reader   (06.23.09)
I would place this c---ks---ing goat shtupper in a 24/7/365 brightly lit windowless 8X8 monks cell, with wall to wall, ceiling to floor paintings of the worlds most beautiful and sexy swine, 50 meters below ground, with some very VERY loud Kenny G on a non stop, never ending loop, and leave him there for say, well,...howzabout,....FOREVER.
5. no connection to Shalit?
Markus   (06.23.09)
there is no connection? Israel is taken for a fool again- this is getting more ridiculous every week- and meanwhile Shalit rots in jail- IF he is still alive which is a big question mark.
6. Proof of Who We Are
Ess ,   Florida   (06.23.09)
The release of Duwaik shows the world who we are as Jews, a people who acts morally correct even when it is not in our best interest. Let see any arab state step up and treat an Israeli with the same legal justice. Even the scum at Hamas must stop and think about an enemy that honors the rule fo law, in the long run, this is why we always win.
7. Retaking Phadelphi strip, destroying all tunnels would be
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (06.23.09)
the BEST bargaining chips. o-bum-a would wet his diapers and Bibi could say, "Sorry, I've changed enough of those in my life."
8. More proof of why Israel needs capital punishment !
aaron ,   haifa   (06.23.09)
More proof of why Israel needs capital punishment !
9. Release an important bargaining chip as a goodwill gesture?
3jay3 ,   Israel   (06.23.09)
Are these guys nuts??? Why the hell is Bibi allowing this? I bet this has something to do with Peres, as he has to sign the pardon, acting as president.
10. lack of self respect
eg   (06.23.09)
we are a very sick country ... a self respecting nation would have let the murdering bastard rot in jail until gilad shalit is free
11. What a useless state we are sometimes.
israel   (06.23.09)
12. #6 Stay in Florida,,,
3Jay3 ,   Israel   (06.23.09)
You obviously dont understand the ARab mindset. They only respect force. They look at these releases as them winning and Israel weakening. The release of this head terrorist shows the world how stupid Israel is! We lost a major bargaining chip to get the lifeless body of Gillad back. When dealing with terrorists, all morals must go out the door. You dont do deals or appease them.....thats playing into their greedy filthy hands!
13. to #12 you right, 100% correct they understand only force.
ghostq   (06.23.09)
14. the law
alexi   (06.23.09)
The law is the law. The judge ought to tell his reasons to the shalit family while their son lives through hell. Surely, thechnicalities can be found to hold him. The israeli court would free hitler if his 20 year term were up according to the law.
15. #12, Grow up
Ess ,   FL   (06.23.09)
I am as hard line as the next in defending Israel against the lies of the arabs, but here, the courts have spoken. it is no longer an issue of policy but justice, we live by the rule of law and the courts have ruled. I would have preferred to keep this SOB under arrest for eternity, but the law says something else. Instead of whinning, take pride in the strength of our morality. And yes, it is pathetic that the arabs are just blind, hate mongers who live in the 12 th century refighting the crusadeas,.. which they lost like every other war. If you want to see Arab morality in action, just look to Iran, Sudan, Syria and on and on ... all two bit religous fanatic regimes oppressing their own people ... Israel gives arabs more justice than their own countires.
16. #4 terrible idea
ben Ish   (06.23.09)
I think a much better cell for this guy would be paradise with his 72 virgins. Or was that 72 grapes. Eh, whatever. How do we get this guy together with his 72 whatevers? Oh yeah, well what are we waiting for?
17. My prisoner exchange.
ben Ish   (06.23.09)
This is how the prisoner exchange should be done: Both sides meet face to face. We bring their prisoners, they bring Shalit. If Shalit can walk to our side, then they can walk to theirs. If not, oh well. Too bad for YOU. If they bring us a box like hezb did, then we give them the same, right then and there. Give us a living prisoner, and we give you a living prisoner. Give us dead ones, guess what. We give you dead ones. Right there, on the spot, no questions asked. And no apologies. Apologetic MK's get free one-way bus ride to Gaza, sans diplomatic papers, passport, etc.
18. isreal has 11000 prisoners - women - old - young
(06.23.09)
palestinians have a right to free their loved ones even if that meant more of Shalits capture of aggressor soldiers
19. Bad decision
Siul ,   Madrid Spain   (06.23.09)
Our enemies are more strong and happy and by that Israel is more weak and sad.
20. #16...ben ish
Malone   (06.23.09)
Not 72 virgins..1 72 year old virgin.. They're in for a shock..
