61. I support this kind of resistance
Davin   (04.25.10)
Hamas did great work by producing this clip. I think that Israel must care of Shalit's life more than that. I support Hamas government in their pursuing of freeing the Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons.
62. Ultimatum
mike caton ,   USA   (04.25.10)
Israel will not lose, but gain respect, both from its few friends and its many enemies ,by issuing an ultimatum, as follows: Hamas will turn over Shalit to Israeli authorities within 48 hours, If, after this time, Hamas has not done this, then Israel's response will be a full-fledged all-out attack on Gaza with the aim to kill and otherwise destroy all of Hamas military and its supporters, and its infrastructure, NO MATTER HOW MANY innocents are killed in the process.
63. Well said Davin 61
Jake ,   Wales   (04.25.10)
I think most readers here your agree with you that the Government of Israel doesn’t give a fig about Shalit - and regardless what they say (they are begrudging buggers) the video clip was very well produced and rendered.
64. The answer to Gilad Shalit's captivity
(04.25.10)
The Almighty, Creator of the Universe is calling ALL ISRAEL to return to Him and our captives will be set free: 2 Chron 30:9
65. Feed How many People?
emanon ,   USA   (04.25.10)
What a waste of money by the arabs in gaza. Their people are starving, they have no hospitals, no schools and no agriculture. And they spend their money on this crap?
66. Israel should institute capital
Barney ,   USA   (04.25.10)
punishment. One hamas terrorist with blood on their hands should be executed each day until Shalit is released. See how the hamas leadership stands up to the pressure of their people who don't want to see their terrorists loved one to be the next one on the gallows, electric chair, or lethal injection.
67. The silence is deafening
Christopher ,   Boston, MASS   (04.25.10)
I guess we shouldn't expect much from NoBama Clinton and the house Jew Emmanuel. Look at how they're allowing Hezbollah narcoterrorists murder US citizens in Arizona. Do the Israelis really think they would respond when American lives are sacrificed to IslamoNarco terrorists without US security response?
68. Give them two hours to free Gilad
jason white ,   afula,israel   (04.25.10)
safe and sound along with his kidnappers.If we do not receive Gilad, then execute 1,000 pali prisoners. Give them another two hours to free Gilad,or we will execute 3,000 pali prisoners. Final two hours to free Gilad or we will execute the rest of the pali prisoners. Then we should have a massive bombardment of civilian areas of gaza and all its infrastructure. Let them learn the hard way to stop terror.
69. I do recall an article and seeing a video
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (04.25.10)
of a huge meeting and celebration in Gaza City (100,000) cheering the actor who played the part of Gilad Shalit "begging" his "Mommi and Daddy" to help him out. It was humiliating. Hamas cruelty, which it delights in, also makes us comprehend why we cannot ever make a peaceful accord with them. Their mentality is so different from ours because, although we may perpetrate cruel acts, we don't delight in them and normally come to regret them. This mass meeting in Gaza also tells us something about the mentality of Hamas leadership but of many of the people who reside there and follow them. As to Gilad Shalit, he apparently was held captive in the hospital in Gaza City during Operation Cast Lead with explosives attached to him in case we attempted to free him. For all you frustrated doubters, believe me, Israel is aware of where he is and if it were possible to free him (Gilad) by force, we would. At this point, however, even the ordinary Palestinian is threatened and intimidated by Hamas. It's just that they lack the means of overthrowing it (Hamas).
70. Noam Shalit is Righteous
Cynthia ,   USA   (04.25.10)
He will walk from one end of the earth to the other seeking the release of his son. In sharp contrast, we've witnessed Hamas mothers eagerly line up to claim their shahid bonus checks for purchase of a sofa. Obviously Hamas cares little about prisoners held by Israel. It won't phase them if Israel moves Hamas prisoners into isolation and conditions comparable to what Gilad now experiences. They'll have themselves to blame for that and these videos to show the world how pathetic they are.
71. Man, that was just s*** creepy
Cameron ,   USA   (04.25.10)
I can see why you Israelis are forced to keep that nutter crew in Gaza behind walls. Strange that clip was. Very strange.
72. 5 star video. you gota love it
samaH ,   azaG   (04.25.10)
73. To #45 Christopher
HS ,   brooklyn ny   (04.25.10)
Thank you for being and honest person and standing behind the truth. I see you are not jewish but not afraid to stand behind eternal values.
74. what is wrong with Hamas video?
observer   (04.25.10)
the 3D or Shalit?
75. #74 - observer: whats wrong with the vid ?
eporue ,   europe   (04.26.10)
what was the message of this video ? that gilad is captured ? => there was no message. but it was a snapshot of its makers premature minds and their phantasies. whatever, is clear, that israel wont release those 5 killers. ok, the video was aimed on the public. but you will have a very hard time to find anyone in the world, who will go on protest to have those 5 released. their background is a bit too heavy for "average consumption"... the public cant help with this. accept what is on the table. if this is impossible for you, shut up and arrange to keep your prisoner in gaza - but under conditions according to the geneva conventions.
76. Sad!
Sam ,   ME   (04.26.10)
77. # 63
Birdi ,   Israel   (04.26.10)
Who gives you the right to speak for "most readers?" You are wrong.
78. to # 13
israeli gurl ,   usa   (04.26.10)
ya shalit didnt kill anyone, but the 500+ kids killed in Gaza in 2009 didn't kill anyone either! :(
79. The video is quite well done, and appropriate...
Michael Hess ,   Charlotte, NC   (04.26.10)
...this all could have been over with back when the list was 450 names long and no Barghouti. The price was already driven high because of Israel's ridiculous Samir Kuntar deal. And then there was the War on Gaza. One wonders if those in the Warsaw Ghetto had had such technology, what their videos would have looked like? After all, it is exactly the same thing. Except now the names and nationalities have changed. And sadly they changed to folks who used to believe in something called "Never Again" - except that is only for one people, not any other people on the entire planet. When you put yourselves up on that false kind of a pedestal - "we made the PC, cellphone, your medicine etc - then that makes the fall that much harder when reality sets in. Bummer. Thankfully time's up.
80. Video is Self Defeating
emanon ,   USA   (04.26.10)
If anything, sympathy for the Shalit family is raised. Yes, it is self defeating, just like the terrorstinians that created it.
81. #79: Michael, The Laundry Called
emanon ,   USA   (04.26.10)
Your sheet is ready for tonight's meeting. The usual spot.
82. only in hebrew and arabic -.-
sohnes ,   ludwigsburg, germany   (04.26.10)
Rendering this video must have been expensive. It's long and the quality is quite okay. I guess, some money from the EU ist involved and the greatest net payer in the EU is Germany. So german tax payers' money went into THIS. Sorry, but it's somehow getting me mad.
83. #50
sohnes ,   ludwigsburg, germany   (04.26.10)
I would like to thank you. Even if you just repeated the bare name of this man, i found an interesting blog due to you. Clear and funny-to-read.
84. just like the nazis they have the best propaganda!
rachel ,   usa   (04.26.10)
85. #78 you really believe all that pallywood
rachel ,   usa   (04.26.10)
86. If ZAHAL wants - Gilad is home tomorrow !
Jaacov Baumann   (04.28.10)
Ask the government, why he is still in the hands of terrorists !
87. Answer to Gilad Shalit captivty
(04.28.10)
AMEN! B'Karov no giving back tons of arabs for one Chayil.. 1 for 1 That is it..
88. # 79
Birdi ,   Israel   (04.28.10)
IMBECILE you are.
89. Shalit in captivity
John B ,   Malaga Spain   (05.01.10)
Surely Hamas is in contravention of the Geneva Convention? Why has this not been taken up by the Red Cross, the United Nations, and other concerned bodies? And if those bodies will not deal with this, then why are they not being held accountable for their disgusting stand on human rights?
90. Once again Hamas behaves like a pirate
Take A pen   (05.25.10)
and once again the UN does nothing about it and the world remains silent. In the old days when pirates kidnapped, murdered, blackmailed etc. they'd be hung without trial even. These days, however, a terror organization like Hamas is handled with silk gloves by the UN, legitimized as a pseudo national entity.... this latest video is yet another example of Hamas' pirate ways. To condemn Hamas people like us (not only in Israel but throughout the world) can and DO take action. The proper action is to put pressure on the UN. A single government (the Israeli one) will never be able to handle the situation fully. The core of the problem is that Hamas can do as it pleases because it has the back and support of the UN.
