1. IPS is "afraid" of murderers it guards. Time for new IPS
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (05.09.10)
management. Shalit rots while killers live in luxury, absolutely time for a change.
2. I invite Minister Aranovich to visit us
Joe Arpaio ,   MAricopa County   (05.09.10)
and learn how to run a prison http://www.mcso.org/ The tent city looks like a military camp in the desert, with thick canvas sleeping quarters spreading out in a remote area of Arizona. The inhabitants, however, are not soldiers, but residents of an unusual prison run by legendary lawman Joe Arpaio, called the toughest sheriff in the West. For the Maricopa County sheriff, who opened the nation's largest tent prison in 1993, saving taxpayer pennies matters more than comforting convicted felons. "We took away coffee, that saved $150,000 a year. Why do you need coffee in jail?" says Arpaio, patrolling the dusty, barren grounds. "Switched to bologna sandwiches, that saved half a million dollars a year." There are no televisions or other freebies Arpaio makes inmates pay for their meals, Arpaio boasts of his chain gangs for men and women, which "contribute thousands of dollars of free labor to taxpayers each month," according to his Web site.
3. people of gaza: revolt against hamas - NOW.
eporue ,   europe   (05.09.10)
get gilad to the border, and you will have your 1200something prisoners (ok, without the 5 psychopath), but + barghouti and + crossings open within 24 hours. if you bring gilad, gaza will get the deal - the german mediator, aquired for you. time to end this hamas b.s....
4. unique gangster government in the world
Salma ,   Palestine   (05.09.10)
If you think by this will be the release of Shalit, then You're ignorant and a dreamer What puzzles me is why you really don't want to release Shalit?!!! not the first time you release Palestinian prisoners "blood on their hands" as you like to say , so why not with Sahlit?!
5. "possible riots" - brave pals protecting their comforts
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (05.09.10)
this is too funny. palestinians threaten violence if you try to change their cable TV package in prison. really sacrificing for the cause there, guys. they should organize a revolt if their cell phone carrier won't upgrade their smartphones on time, too. something tells me it will be a sad day for those prisoners when they are finally released from israeli jail. kind of like the way gazans are now longing for the "good old days" of the brutal israeli occupation now that hamas is in charge, lol.
6. they are better off
Ilana   (05.09.10)
in Prison-who else gets so many feebies? Completely insane. Gilad is down in a tunnel with nothing and here they get fat and educated. Who cares if they whine? Nothing pisses me off more.
7. to salma no 4
john ,   t-a   (05.09.10)
Salma dear, do you not have a decent occupation in your life rather than read Zionist media and publish your childish comments? I thought you guys are opressed that you don't even have an access to internet. Or you want to build a political career and that's where you master your deating skills? Oooh... don't please .. look at Hanan Ashrawi - that's what it leads to.
8. Terrorists, not kings.

Resistor   (05.09.10)
"Gilad is down in a tunnel with nothing" Ilana, how do you know that? Last time I saw him on video, he looked fine, had all his teeth, living in a nice room, reading the newspaper.......... If you really want him, why don't you get off your fat, jewish bottoms, and go and get him? Best army in the world??-baloney!
10. #7 John,As usual always make me laugh
Salma ,   Palestine   (05.09.10)
So please keep a sense of humor that you have :) But please John ,i still have two questions, first why you really don't want to release Shalit?! TWO: Is YNet only to the Zionists readers? If the answer is yes, then promise I will continue to comment here ;) best regards to T-R
11. #6 - better send numerous people into death, than a deal ?
eporue ,   europe   (05.09.10)
i dont think the army should go there. people would die in this. from whatever side, they would. the number of killed in this operation would be much higher than the 5 psychos, which wont be released. further, no prisoner swap, no barghouti and crossing kept closed. you, resistor, prefer to send an undefined number of people to death, instead of accepting a very very good deal. quite some lack of respect for human life... maybe, what could come to ones mind is, that hamas is provoking an israeli operation, in order to kill gilad and some more "inconvenient" hamas operatives - and then blame it onto israel...
12. #10 - salma
eporue ,   europe   (05.09.10)
israel has pressed their leaders to offer a very very good, unprecedented deal for gilad. they've got one. now you go to hamas, and tell them to accept this offer... the ball is with you, salma :)
13. Time to shut down Maccabi's convalescent homes
joe   (05.09.10)
Aharonovich, you are about 4 years late. If it was your son languishing in an islamic donjon, you would have reacted sooner , more forceful and without let-up. Since when do prison officials decide the faith of our kidnapped son. Their job is to guard islamic thugs, killers, convicts. Our prison system is the joy of allah's favorite sons .... they don't have to commit suicide in order to enjoy the good life in their baren paradise (promised, never delivered).One thing is clear, the 72 whores are not on the menu (they never get it anyway) But, since they all get fat, food is plentiful and kosher ; cable TV, cell phones, magazines, recreation, reasonable living quarters, college degree for the asking. As far as visits? family, medical, the red cross?, lawyers?, Does our Shalit get equal treatment?, red cross, UN, french officials, family, medical , and others, allowed to visit? like hell they are. If our current prison officials are uneasy or afraid of unrest by convicted islamic murderers, then ,maybe we should appoint a capable staff with the expertise in handling " disturbances"
14. to #9 transistor, back of that is no way
ghostq   (05.09.10)
to treat a lady, but than again your typ don't know how to treat them. :)
15.  Editor-do you really allow resistor such talk?
Mary to Ilana   (05.09.10)
Ilana! You got resistor really mad-look at his slander!! Nothing better to say so he runs to infantile insults. What a loser. Oh and : How do you know her butt is fat? What an idiot. Gilad looked awful to many - skin and bones. Poor guy. Denied all but ALL rights according to international law (that palestinians love to claim when it suits them). What losers.
16. thanks ghostq
Ilana   (05.09.10)
I see true character emerges when one gets mad. What a cheap shot. Next he will say he isn't antisemitic, just happens to think all Jews have fat arses. At least he knows it is a negative attribute to be an antisemite! That is already headway...
17. thanks Mary
Ilana   (05.09.10)
Resistor thinks Gilad has learned how to read arabic newspapers in a nice room. I guess he also thinks Gilad has an M.A. by now , gets to cook food he likes, watches T.V. has doctor visits and dentist visits. Oh I forgot, resistor does not think. He does not know how.
18. Why fear riots
Matityahu ,   Slovenia   (05.09.10)
As long as they're locked in their respective cages, there will be no riots.
19. Salma and Transistor Radio
Eyal ,   USA   (05.09.10)
Salma, the reason is because your dumb brothers want 1000 to 1? The real question is why wouldn't your brothers accept 900-1? A lot of them had blood in their hands, so why wouldn't you? It is very much typical Palestinians to do that, just like why they wouldn't accept the peace treaty with Barak and in which I'm glad. With regards to Transistor dummy radio, he thinks Gilad is in some nice house eating good food. Transistor, get a life or just tune in a bit to reality, you self hating goofy.
20. conditions
Ilana   (05.09.10)
If Gilad's conditions are so good, according to "some people" then there should be absolutely no problems, no riots, no anything of any sort, in giving prisoners in Israel those same conditions.
21. To: Ilana at No. 20
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.09.10)
Bravo! Your talkback says it all, and says it perfectly. Kol ha'kavod!
22. thanks Sarah
Ilana   (05.09.10)
23. TIT FOR TAT
JUDAH THE LION   (05.09.10)
I AGREE 100% ABOUT TIME WE DO THE SAME TO OUR ENEMIES
