I repeat my wish:May what is bad for me ,not want me.

As I've stated many times before, Hamas trots out Shalit, a few times a year, just to get into the news. As a PR tool, Shalit is worth a fortune to Hamas. If you were to go over time since his kidnapping, and see how many times Shalit deals have been in the news you would be shocked. Typical they say they are close then Hamas insists on something they already know Israel will refuse, then blame Israel for the failure. Every single deal has gone exactly that way, for what now? Six years! Why should this time be any different? When Hamas can trot out a Shalit deal a couple of times a year and get untold amounts of PR, it is unlikely they will release him. If they did, be sure they will kidnap someone before his release or immediately after, so they start the cynical theater all over again. We will see what happens this time for sure, but don't get your hopes up. Remember Hamas won't shoot its load for a one time PR event when they can do this for six more years. After all, if they were sincere they would have released Shalit go long ago as a sign of good faith. They would rather barter in flesh like the days of slavery...after all slavery only exists in the modern world, in Muslim parts of the world, in has been abolished in all Western civilizations...than show any real humanity.

It's time to start playing by their rules. Bibi should take responsibility and place a total blackout on all Hamas and Islamic Jihad prisoners. These prisoners should simply disappear and not see the light of day - no visits, solitary confinement 24/7, no communications at all. Give them 3 meals/day and a bucket in the corner of the cell. These are simply the same conditions that Hamas is placing on Gilad Shalit. In 2012 if there is still no deal, then a single hamas prisoner will be filmed and the video released. It's time for the families of these prisoners to say goodbye, and make the prisoners disappear until Hamas obeys international law and allows the Red Cross access to Shalit.

Why is the criminal mastermind of Hamastan suddenly so eager to resume talks with Israel over Gilad Shalit and the swopping of Marwan Barghouti ,must be pressure from someone,somewhere,who could it be we,ll soon find out ?

Pressure,or he is planning a serious attack against Israel,and he needs the criminals who are in our prisons.Very suspicious.

The difference between Pali prisoners and Gilad Shalit is that Gilad sits day and night on a bomb!

I seem to have missed some readings, somewhere, at some time. The last I read, Hamas was demanding 1000 prisoners for Gilad. Have the 1000 already been set free???

Hamas returns Shalit and Israel agrees not to raze Gaza to the ground.
