I agree. Since the day Gilad Shalit was captured, your God, the God of Israel, has reminded me to pray for his escape every day. Why should I, as a citizen of a foreign country be doing this ? I don't know, but I do know my God, and I follow His commands We can take from this that He cares about Shalit. He knows exactly where he is. He is watching over Him. He will deliver. His timinmg is perfect I believe it is time for Israel to repent of its ways, and turn back to your God. The Nations are cranking up the pressure on you, and it is only the Lord God who can and will deliver you. You are His people. He cares about every one of you Commit your way to the Lord, trust in Him, and He will act. Rescue Gilad Shalit in God's strength, and He will give you success

THIS SEEMS TO BEE PROPAGANDA OF AN ISRAELI ENEMIE, TRYING TO COMPARE THE GENOCIDE AND REVERSE IT TO THE PRESENT SITUATION. THOSE LEFTISTS ARE PERVERSE AS ALWAYS !!!. Arn.

IT IS WRITTEN - "THE MOUTH OF A FOOL CRIES FOR BLOWS" !!!. AND TO EVERY SOBER MIND THIS IS VERY EVIDENT IN THE CASE OF THE LEFISTS IN NR 20 AND 17. Arn.

It was Nuclear bombs that stopped Japan not words. It will killing a whole lot of germans that ended the conflict there. Words are useless when dealing with evil. But you don't believe in evil do you? You are not just the village idiot but you claim the whole world as your domain.

I doubt Israel would like to be completely alone, which is what it would be if there were any kind of massive military strike to free Shalit. There is obviously a great amount Israel could do to make Hamas's belligerence look like the greater threat to humanity. Instead. too many people in the good nation of Israel embrace stances of indiscriminate annihilation (take the recent Gaza War), and then wonder why the West is so uncomfortable with what they do.

Swap Shalit only for a 1 - 1 trade. No More. Israel is being held hostage by people who insist Israel must go against best national interest in gaining Shalit's release. Shalit's freedom has been turned into an idol requiring Israel to trade many convicted murderers for this freedom. This is not fair to the families who lost loved ones at the hands of the convicted murderers. Some prices are too high to pay.

close water and electricity fo three days. arabs will send gilad home to us.

So what are the options? Surrender? Free killers so they can kill others? What a silly, and evil response (inpuning that Israel wants its children killed!) Leon

The solution is revenge. Make the other side pay such a high price, that they will obey international law, permit Red Cross visits. Mutuality is a solution to Terrorism. If you kill my family, don't expect me to spare yours! The red cross should no longer be permitted to visit any Hamas prisoners, until mutuality is established. Leon

We may not know where Shalit is, but don't we know where any of the Hamas leaders are? Leon

Actually the lesson of the last 4 years is that terrorists must be terrorized, that mutuality of behaviour is the only rational course between nations, and between nations and terrorists. Leon

You are correct. Terrorism causes anxiety and stress. Its elimination results in peace, and comfort. The solution to stress is to take active action against the causes of that stress. Namely Hamas. Leon

It's very difficult, otherwise impossible, taking decision for a deal, because hamas doesn't want a deal. But why permitting relatives and red cross tourists visit the Hamas detainees? This is the proof of our weakness and fear. Fear of what? it cannot be worse. Vitenberg, ot ha kommemiout.
