then we find out how much more 5hit we have to eat . . . .

But, the first rule is we don't leave a soldier on the battle field. We should never have left Gaza without him.

when the terrorists are freed? We should have started to kill terrorists in our prisons till Gilad was freed and his kidnappers turned over to the I.D.F. This is not the way to fight terrorism.If Gilad is not alive,then the government should order the I.D.F to bomb the gaza strip till they surrender or die!

We all pray for his return...If this is another false alarm or duping of the world by these barbarians then it is time to read the tea leaves and stop it. It seems strange that while all the barbarians are willing to negotiate they will all pretend it isn't their group who has him indicating the deviousness on the part of whoever is pulling the strings. Just hope there isn't one more "weasly" excuse because this should end it for all parties....

...I see Shalit free and on TV. How many times before have their been reports about the Shalit deal being on the verge of completion ?

We saw the misery when Udi Goldwasser and Eldad Regev came home in coffins after we released that murdering swine Samir Quntar! Publish facts and not Palestinian propaganda! No doubt Israel will pay dearly for Gilad and each Israeli must decide for himself what is right and what is wrong. Noam and Aviva Shalit are very annoying sometimes and expressing sympathy to A-Zahar, a man responsible for the killing of many of our people and probably Gilad’s plight sickened many of us but if he were my kid I too would try anything to get him back. If we do release murderers, well, so be it and we will just have to live with it and increase our vigilance! Maybe it is time to bring our child home even if the price is high!

The newspaper should publish a running total of those kidnapped and those murdered as a result of Shalit's release.

AMEN BROTHER!!! but let me add also that for some one as Gilad, who was kidnapped while he was asleep niglecting his duty, should by no means be so precious and a hero-like to jeopardize the security for the entire state of Israel. His parent should have the morality to relinquish him to his captors or at least to be dog-gone quite and not gathering rioters of air heads every day to make his release seem as nation-wide demand. Finally,I will not be surprised if he is shot dead by Hamas, and they will claim he died during Israel last incursion into the rats and cowards holes of Hamastan.

Do you have any proof of your allegations, or are you just making assumptions without facts or basis? I prefer to wait and see if Gilad is returned alive--if he is not, the deal should be off and no terrorist will be released. Hopefully, that's why he is supposed to be handed over to Egypt and checked before any terrorist is released.

Palestinian papers have a history of being wrong. They are also propaganda mouthpieces for the movements that own them. It was only a few months ago that Palestinian papers reported that Israel was sending hormone spiked bubble gum to Gaza to pervert their children.
