1. this is what you get with playing softball.
rachel ,   chutz4now home soon   (06.21.10)
bibi cannot drive on a perfectly good road! what about the rest of us? do you REALLY think these terrorists will stop at attacking police and border police? this will make them increase to everyone with israeli plates. this is what you get by giving to an abusive "peace" partner.
2. Good enough for us
Shimshon ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (06.21.10)
Well - we regular citizens can travel on 443! That's absurd and it proves their is a security risk. Close it again for Palestinian traffic! http://www.shimshon9.com
3. Route 443
Ricardo Macher ,   Karnei Shomron IL   (06.21.10)
Why cannot we send Mrs. Beinish to do daily tours through route 443? She will for sure enjoy, and, maybe, we can solve a problem!
4. 443 to dangerous for PM but not for the average citizen
LEE ,   NY, USA   (06.21.10)
of course....
5. What is good for the goose [Bibi] is good for the gander [us
Miriam ,   Israel   (06.21.10)
Close the 443 to Palestinian traffic today!
6. Thanks Bibi (for nothing)
Shalom Hartman   (06.21.10)
As I take my daily two-way route to/from work, on the 443 I will now be able to recall that the road is too dangerous for Bibi to use, whereas I on the other hand, being nothing more than a mere tax-paying citizen of the State of Israel, can be offered as cannon fodder if necessary.
7. A new can of worms
Mark ,   Jerusalem   (06.21.10)
What is the difference between the PM's life and me and any other Jews. Does this mean we should all stop travelling on the 443 road.
8. ALL THE WORLD LEADERS SHOULD TRAVEL IN UNMARKED
..........DACON9   (06.21.10)
ALL THE WORLD LEADERS SHOULD TRAVEL IN UNMARKED CARS WITH BNIE BRAK LICENCE PLATES...
9. Bibi:hire Hamas activists to dig you a tunnel!
Secular Beast   (06.21.10)
10. (from fiddler on the roof) Wonder of wonder, idiot of idiots
Jae ,   Lynn US   (06.21.10)
this mornic government has no spine, now its faced with humiliation upon humiliation because it has no spine gevalt. Pray for the Strength of Israel to give us the desire for real good leadership Manhigut Yehudit.
11. Bibi you know my terms.. we return Shalit when
RJBH ,   Methil   (06.21.10)
you return our Prisoners...untill then ...keep thinking...Turkey Is the new best friend of Gaza... and will help u make your descision.
12. only one way to release Shalit
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (06.21.10)
The Hamas interest in keeping Shalit to portray Israel as helpless and weak. They do not mind their own prisoners living in luxury in Israeli jails. All Israel has to do is start annexing territory in Judea and Samaria together with massive building of Jewish homes. When they see they are losing something tangible, the Hamas will release Shalit. By choosing not to annex territory and build Jewish homes, Netanyahu is consciously condemning Shalit to a life of Hamas imprisonment (unless he is already dead).
13. Examining new ways to free Shalit ?!
DT ,   TA Israel   (06.21.10)
Loosening the Gaza blockade and giving in to the International community and Wets like Blair is not one of them .
14. Israel needs another Menachem Begin ...
Lee ,   Manchester UK   (06.21.10)
Bibi is bending backwards and forwards to please the EU and the now rotten US. Never before have we seen American people protesting against their allies shipe entering their port, US Jews you have a helluva lot to answer to! SHAME ON THE US!
15. he kept on saying ,us and our friend's!!!!
(06.21.10)
i didn;t know you still had any friends in the world sir ,mabee you should check out the cards in your hand to make sure....
16. Shalit will never return alive this way
martin ,   utrecht netherlands   (06.21.10)
Continue with your old policies for the past 10 years, neither Bibi,nor Livni and Olmert have got a solution and will ever have a solution....
17. 11 RJBH , Methil
abraham ,   toronto   (06.21.10)
Turkey will be exposed for the crimes against armenia kurds cypriots and israel watch and learn
18. OLMERT, LIVNI AND NOW BENJAMIN NETANYAHU
BENJAMIN ,   SINGAPORE/NEW YORK   (06.21.10)
ALL HAVE BEEN TRYING HARD TO GET THE RELEASE OF GILAT SHALIT. NO BODY HAS GIVEN UP ON GILAT NOT THE THREE ABOVE ,PLEASE. YOU GOT TO BE FAIR WHEN YOU POST !
19. Bibi the quickest way to get Shallit out is......
Vicky ,   Ashkelon Israel   (06.21.10)
1. Stop letting their leaders out of our prison. 2. Send in the RAMBO squad there are enough boys only to willing to do it. 3. F"£$" Obuma and the US Dem. Jews and go it alone.
20. No prisoner swap unless demands are met
Salma ,   Palestine   (06.21.10)
One way to secure Shalit's release, responding to the demands of Hamas, because Hamas can't give up, especially after the Palestinian people have paid a heavy price for Shalit, Hamas will lose what's left of their credibility and support among the Palestinians in this case. This is the only truth
21. #17 definition of crime
martin ,   utrecht netherlands   (06.21.10)
Can you give a definition of crime? Did some countries or organisations have a patent on it or perhaps we humans have a patent on it. There is always an action and a reaction and in between the laws of inertia. ..and not to forget a kind of madness, chess gaming and many spectators (we the people). ...there is no truth
22. Natanyahu
J.K. ,   Brooklyn Usa   (06.21.10)
Big mistake,to give in to the mad men in Iran without the release of Gilad Shalit,who is one of the reasons for the blockade.
23. #20, Selma, you are probably right
peg ,   israel/uk   (06.21.10)
for a government like hamas that treats a loss as victory, what you say is correct. they have to keep face even though they are losers! The people just have to go along with it, as many are well aware that Hamas was the worse thing that happened to them, but if they speak up, like anywhere else in the islamic fanatical reguimes, their lives are at risk and those of their families. Slema and anyon that reads this, i have heard this from a good source, and this person as many others want peace with Israel, they are happy to work with Israel. So often i try and put myself in their position and thank G-d I wasnt born there or anywhere else in the islamic world.
24. Sorry Bibi, you are weak again...
meg ,   israel   (06.21.10)
sanctions at least until the red cross is allowed to see Shalit!. Stop messing with this boys life and that of his family, do a deal already and hamas dont have to feel they have lost because they will get the aid in and also that scum we have to release! JUST GET GILAD HOME!!!
25. I ,Alan of SA have been saying this for how long?
Alan ,   SA   (06.21.10)
He stressed that "past experience shows that those released in previous deals murdered many Israelis. Only recently, one of the men released in the Tennenbaum deal was involved in the murder of Rabbi Meir Avshalom Hai, the father of seven children (PM BIBI QUOTE) The ladies who write in to ask what I would do if it was my son -please will you note this point and stop asking me such queastions .
26. salma ...re hamas
sameer ,   toronto   (06.21.10)
they lost support a long time ago. Hamas is not interested in peace- you know that too !
27. Ricardo-We must get Perez to do his daily keep fit run on443
Alan ,   SA   (06.21.10)
28. to#14
JB ,   US/Israel   (06.21.10)
I have to agree with you,Lee .. Bibi's political challenges are tough, but when it comes to security and defense of Israeli people, nothing should be more important and urgent...What is unforgivable is his weak rhetoric and inaction to bring Gilad Shalit home...Having him in the hands of chamas, so close to home in gaza and letting chamas to boast their hostiliy , is a huge disgrace for the whole Israeli leadership and to the moral of Israeli People and Jews around the world...Who remembers better then Bibi, the heroic rescue missions by Israeli comandos in Entebe and on battle fields...The new trend is to give in to political games and apeasements of our sworn enemies, who we all know will never make lasting peace with us..Especially if we are showing such weakness...To those, who stress, that it is much more complicated: No it is not...Not when it comes to chose between the lives of our enemies or the lives of our Sons and Daughtrs, who they were elected and trusted to defend. First and Foremost ! Because no one else would ! Just Bring Gilad Home. Restore some justice and respect...
29. A better idea
lili ,   tel aviv   (06.28.10)
Step back into Gaza strip by small portions . Remind them that each day that keep our dear Gilead they will be punished by losing Hamas dammned territory .
30. mida k'neged mida for Galid Shalit
yoheved ,   north miami beach, f   (06.29.10)
with regards to Galid Shalit, these people only know how to play dirty .... like hundreds of Palestinians in exchange for one soldier?... i don't even know what their specific demands are now .... but hundreds to one is bizarre .... why doesn't Israel call the shots first ... like return Shalit in good health immediately or we are throwing all the Arabs out of Israel and into Gaza.... period.. give them a time frame ...like two months …. Let them squirm …. Israel has lots of soldiers, but they have forgotten how to fight ….Let the fact that Shalit has not been returned yet make them suffer …. evict all of the Arabs in Israel to Gaza …. An additional million-plus Arabs crammed into Gaza within the next two months … that might do it…Let them really feel it…
