sick and depraved.
2. Shatter their illusion
Tamar ,   Israel   (06.27.10)
It's time to shatter Hamas's illusion and show that Israel will not sit back passively and allow its sons to be held captive! 4 years of negotiations have merely emboldened and empowered Hamas. Now it's time to start targeting its military leaders - one a day - until they return Gilad to his parents. They can't keep an abducted soldier hostage, without even Red Corss visits, and claim they want peaceful negotiations.
3. "Resistance" feeling the heat
Cynthia ,   USA   (06.27.10)
The 'resistance" is upset by the internationally visible protests demanding release of Gilad Shalit. Protests expose them as vile terrorist cockroaches who undermine their own people.
4. :: Hamas Video
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (06.27.10)
A bit short for my liking but still it was well rendered. Music was pretty good as well.

You should be ashamed of yourself, posting a comment like that. Imagine just for a minute that you actually stood for something. And in the process of defending that cause one of your children was abducted by terrorists. Would you want some callous old wench spewing her anti-semetic rhetoric in your face? Go to another site and provoke someone else.
8. Kidnapped?
Jerrold Cohen ,   Seal Beach, CA   (06.28.10)
Gilad Shalit was in a tank firing at UNARMED CIVILIAN farmhouses, blowing up farmhouses and wounding or killing UNARMED CIVILIANS. That makes him an enemy soldier and he was CAPTURED and HELD CAPTIVE, as should be done with anyone trying to destroy your property and wound or kill you. HE WAS NOT KIDNAPPED.
9. Empty gaza
Jew   (06.28.10)
create a dmz. no point in trying to force gaza on the world.
10. hey matty
Barney ,   USA   (06.28.10)
here is what i would do. one bullet a day into one terrorists head each day until Gilad is released. If the terrorists scum refused to release him then atleast we would be rid of thousands of terrorists scum living off the good will of Israel. Don't you think that is a good idea?
11. This video is just sick and shouldn't be put here to public.
israel   (06.28.10)
12. shalit
ffm ,   israel   (06.28.10)
is he alive or are we again going to release live terrorists for a coffin?????????????????where is our "intelligence"?????????? for a dead body no one should be returned alive. sorry to be honest. it is sad. but for tannenboim alive we returned terrrortists. our values have simply disappeared and the intelligence of our leaders has deteriorated. sad scary and disgusting.
13. This Video Was Released On Youtube In April
Uri ,   Israel   (06.28.10)
The video was not only released to the public today on their website, it has been available on youtube since April this year - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veTtXCarLA0 Perhaps they only re-released it today but just so you know that it was already available for public viewing prior to the Shalit march... Thanks

Your point of view is typical of a brainwashed eurabian ;-)
15. PRESSURE G-D, NOT THE GOVERNMENT
Panda Bear ,   Omaha Nebraska, USA   (06.28.10)
Why put pressure on the government to get Shalit released? Apparently Hamas has no intention of even giving proof that Gilad is still alive. And their argument that they cannot allow the Red Cross to visit him because they don't want his location relevealed to the Israeli government is just a major farce. How many reporters have been blind folded and taken to meet resistence fighters in South America and give reports on kidnapped victims there. What? Hamas can't blind fold a Red Cross worker and then take that worker to meet with Gilad and then blind fold the Red Cross worker again and return the worker to report on Gilad's condition? They can't release a video tape with proof of life, or do anything to prove Gilad is still alive. Evidently they cannot provide proof of life as they don't have any judging by their behavior. So don't pressure the Israeli government for Gilad's release. I suggest instead you Pressure G-d to speak to the earth, wind, sea, mountains, sun and the moon to come violently against these kidnappers and the rest of the criminal element in Gaza and totally do away with them. Especially since the do not want to turn from their evil and change their behaviors. These Hamas thugs are nothing more than thieves. There is no legitimate form of government in Gaza, otherwise the Red Cross would be able to freely go in and visit Gilad on a regular basis. International law would be adhered to, and crimes against humanity would not be conducted by Hamas on a regular basis in Gaza. Hamas daily spits in the face of all people of faith with their criminal behaviors. STEALING PEOPLE IS A CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR. Gilad was not captured in a real war setting, but was stolen and treated as a stolen person is treated, not as a prisoner of war. Prisoner's of war are given Red Cross visits, proper healthy holding conditions, and treated relatively well compared to how Gilad has been treated. Prisoner's of War are not generally held for ransom either. And even if one were to change the label on Gilad's status to Prisoner of War, what lunatics hold onto ONE Prisoner of War for Four Years and think that any legit government is going to pay everything they have to get that ONE Prisoner of War back? I'm sorry, but if I was that Prisoner of War I would want my government not to give up everything for my release. I would instead want my government to avenge my death and totally annihilate my kidnappers and their cohorts so they would not be doing anymore of this inhumanly stealing people.
16. Hard truth is Gilad is not worth the future dead Israelis
(06.28.10)
Releasing terrorists to free Gilad is irresponsible and will lead to dead Israelis and more kidnappings.
17. what does it do for them?
Deedee ,   USA   (06.28.10)
Hamas can brag and make stupid videos, but bottom line, it doesn't build them in the eyes of the world and it doesn't get their guys released.
18. Where are the self-appointed human rights guardians?
Ron B. ,   Lod   (06.28.10)
In the more than four years of Gilad Shalit’s captivity by Hamas in Gaza, the international human rights community has barely given any attention to his plight. Besides, by condemning self-defense and confusing self-defense and terrorism, NGOs’ abuse human rights principles. More about double standard and fairness at : http://xrl.us/bgrqhy
19. #8 Cross border kidnap
Cynthia ,   USA   (06.28.10)
Terrorists kidnapped Gilad Shalit from his army base on Israel's side of the border. Pathetic how you twist the facts.
20. Someone has a lot of time on their hands
Ezra ,   san diego ca   (06.28.10)
to create such an elaborate fantasy movie. They should apply for a job at Reuters. I wouldn't trust a word Hamas says about anything.
21. no. 8 - hold yer horses, there, pardener
Farfurfan ,   farfurstan   (06.28.10)
Sorry, Jerrold, but you are wrong on all accounts. Your accusations of Gilad Schalit "firing at UNARMED CIVILIAN farmhouses, blowing up farmhouses and wounding or killing UNARMED CIVILIANS", besides being totally false, smacks of the classic blood libel. According to you, Israelis enjoy nothing more than killing and wounding innocent civilians. Even if it was true, however, your second argument does not hold any water either. As a captured enemy soldier, Schalit is protected by the Geneva Convention and should be entitled to humane treatment and visits from Red Cross. By not allowing that, Hamas is guilty of egregious war crimes. As Schalit is being held for ransom (in exchange for hundreds of Pal murderers), this, indeed, is a clear case of kidnapping. On a personal note, Mr. Cohen, may I suggest that psychiatric counseling is a much more effective way of dealing with your low self-esteem than political propaganda. No, you should not feel guilty for being born a Jew, but if you do, do not take it out on others.
22. #8 Stop lying, please.
Roman ,   Lod, Israel   (06.28.10)
Gilad Shalit was in a tank stationed on the Israeli side of the Gaza border fence. His tank was stationary, and it wasn't firing on anything. Hamas and their affiliates dug a tunnel, blew up the tank, and recovered Shalit from among the dead and wounded soldiers. They have since denied him any and every right accorded to a POW, and as they are not a recognized military power in any sense or meaning of the term, this *is* little more than assault, murder, and kidnapping.
23. The most vile and depraved 'people' on earth hamas and co.
Lee ,   Manchester UK   (06.28.10)
what kind of 'human' beings revel in causing pain and sorrow to others? Their are NO PEACEFUL INTENTIONS here. These SICK EVIL b****rds need to be sent on a collective one way ticket to hell!

John ,   Hamilton, New Zealan   (07.01.10)
Have you ever read the Hamas Charter? They don't just want to target Israel they would like to kill you as well. They are anti-western, anti-christian, anti-Jewish and anti-everybody that is not willing to submit to a global Islamic caliphate. Hamas are your enemy and they are not shy to tell you that get a grip on reality.
25. # 17
Birdi ,   Israel   (07.02.10)
Whether Shalit is released or not, Hamas have said they will kidnapp more Israeli soldiers.
