and may Gilad ben Aviva Shalit be home in time to light the first candle of first night of Chanukah!!

... but not too much, because Hamas has set dates for Shalit's release in the past. He's still there. As much as I want to believe Hamas, I cannot. Their record when it comes to telling the truth is not all that impressive, and I cannot see them giving up their trump card. Besides -- what's so special about next Friday? If Hamas is going to release Corporal Shalit, why not today or tomorrow?

Tell you what. Scotland can have these alleged "hostages," and we will throw in the entire Arab population of Judea and Samaria as an added bonus.

sucide bombing, they will stay in prison. :)

is it been a year already after cast Lead? damn time fly by, and 3 years for Gilad, sigh may he return home soon.

Love them as you would love yourself.. Wasn't Jesus a Jew who overcame his unfortunate religion set the world an example.... Zionism is merely political ideology .. you guys need to get over it. Release our hostages... and dear Shalit can return to his family.

Let's keep praying for it until he is back in Israel with his family!!

zionizm is the connection of jews to their homeland, that's where Arabs wrong they think it's political and it's not and it got nothing to do with them, really it Isn't even the left wingers r zionists, and the lovely cousins met Hitler during WW2, they had this plane to kill their cousins the jews, go look fo the founder of the bosnian Muslim SS devision in the natzi army you will find Arafat uncle. if that's how cousins behave who needs family.

To bring up Jesus as an example of goodwill to a Jew, and especially to an Israeli, is insensitive and slightly ignorant. For more than 2000 years the Jewish people have been pressed to prove that they are the original relatives of Jesus. At times, like during the first Gulf War, by showing divine restraint; at other times by leading the charge in battles that Christians considered holy. In retrospect they have given the world everything that your New Testament promises, while advancing in the fields of medicine and justice in particular. Most importantly, they are the key to peace between all monotheistic sects in a world that still struggles to overcome fetishism and cannibalism, because they are the torch bearers of primal goodness. The change is coming but it's not because or in spite of Jesus. It has more to do with school houses, teachers, and buses that are safe to ride in.

Israel get ready your big welcome home party. Hope the Egyptians gives him a hearty welcome, a nice gift and warm meal before handing him back to Israel. That would be a very nice gesture of humanity. Let's all pray that Gilad will have full healing and have a great future.

#2 .....paying their dues for crimes against Jews and the State of Israel #11...... I would say rather a miraculous religion.... Such a small tribe to make it, against all odds, through to now.... the mind boggles, Rob....and the Picts...where are they today?

Next Friday is the eve of the Muslim holiday of "Eid al Adha" !!!!!! thats the speciality !!!
