No other word for those courageous paroles......

Israel must declare him KIA and move on from there.

All of Am Israel should stand in awe of and respect for the dignity and bravery of this father

Whos emotions is overcoming long term thinking ? Quote - .These ex-officials also handed out “tranquilizers,” saying that the IDF will be able to cope with freed terrorists. As these are former officials, they will not be bearing the responsibility, and their emotions overcome their long-term thinking. Comment - Dont you think HASHEM has Emotions ? Those Emotions is seen in the Sheepherder David, when He left the Flock of Sheep, to rescue One Sheep out of the Mouth of Bears and Lions. This was the HEART of HASHEM, and therefore David was Elected and Anointed King of Israel by HASHEM. All Terrorists with Blood on their hands and their supporter in those actions, should have been executed in the first place, as acording to the law of HASHEM. Because of the Negligence in this, you have an situation you cant solve to finishing because, it repeats and repeats and repeats. So - Fee Shalit , and deal with the Foes afterwards, according to rhe will of HASHEM. Arn.Sweden.

we released terrorists to get back the corrupt businessman TANNENBOIM. If we did it for him we MUST do it for a soldier................. there should not be a question about it.

Ron Karman proposes to swap the killer of his daughter Tal for Gilad Shalit. Don't you have anything to say about that, without using religious rhetoric?

Don't you have anything to say about that, without using religious rhetoric? peter , a'dam NL (07.04.11) Comment - Your logic of comment, seems as according to me, to come from the - NETHER LAND. Further - I stand for my preaching, as my principal point of wiev, and there is my answer to you as well. If i would go into detail of what to do, my commet would not be posted here. Arn.Sweden.

He speaks with dignity and grace and tells the Shalit family in no uncertain terms that their pain doesn't merit special attention. He is willing to allow the murderer of his child to be released inorder to secure (we dont know)the release of the Shalit boy.(If he is alive...we dont know) In fact the Shalit family has done themselves a tremendous disservice by being a tool for the left wing and their media supporters. All of Israel suffers at the hands of our 'Peace Partners' including the Shalit family. They have lost the respect and indeed the sympathy of many thru their constant selfish whining and moronic statements. They have been used by all, although I suspect willingly. They have lost much sympathy. To the Shalit family: Take your complaints to those who kipnapped your son!

I'm sorry to hear that you lost your daughter, your stupid Governments are the reason for this tragedy "it is not important whether you believe me or not " . any way, it is not math problem to be one for one, no sir, it is a political and national problem, "Israel" the strong entity with the Palestinians the weak but the righteous People. so sorry Mr. Karman , we can't accept your offer.

There are many people in the world that have problems, Salma. But only one nation that blames everyone else in the world for their problems. And that is yours. If you simply accepted our right to be here, and began to work hand in hand with Jews, who also have a historical claim to this land, to build a better future for yourselves, none of this would be happening to you or your people. No one is doing this to you. No one. Build your country. Build your economy. stop the violence, and you will be fine. Refuse to, and you and your nation will never be free to live normal lives. because when you hit us, we will continue to hit back, Its not going away until you stop.

Palestinians the weak but the righteous People. Oh yes, the righteous people that slit the throats of sleeping babies, shoot rockets at school busses, and then pass out candy. You must be so proud of yourselves.

Do you really think a righteous people murders little girls on buses? If there were no Jews in Israel to hate your sick people would devour themselves.

Keep up your "good posts. They are always entertaining. Your sense of entitlement is astounding. Social assistance has been your trademark throughout. Don`t you now find it interesting, as those who so freely donated to what you presented as your cause, are now saying, `We have seen the light`and have had their eyes opened. Donations have begun to diminish substantially. People no longer believe in your rubbish. How sad. Too bad. It will be interesting to witness the return to what you were prior to handouts from the world. It is clearly obvious to all that `your`people have absolutely no desire to build a economy that other countries have done. You beieve in death and destruction. You can`t deny this. At every turn your people kill those who make any statement you don`t like. I find it refreshing to read posts from those who have come alive to `your`ridiculous comments. I encourage you to keep it up. You only reinforce the mindset. Look forward to a total cancellation of all worlds donations to support `your economy`. Cheers my dear.

i must agree with jamie... if the palestinians recognized israel and the fact that the jewish people ALSO have historical claim to the land, even farther back in time and for much longer periods of time, and decided to work side by side and build rather than destroy things would not be how they would be today... the simplest and truest quote holds it all : If the arabs put down their weapons there would be peace, if israel put down her weapons there would be no israel. Now i bet all arabs read that and say yes, if israel did we`d wipe them off. THATS THE PROBLEM. ISRAEL IS HERE AND HERE TO STAY...ACCEPT IT BUILD A VIABLE RESPONSIBLE STATE and create better futures for your kids....

It is immoral that terrorist murderers are allowed to live and breath in prison. The despicable man who planned Tal Karman's murder should have been summarily executed. Every time Israel goes to war, whether it be Lebanon (2006) or Gaza (2008-2009) we are assured our troops will not rest until we bring our captives home. Why wasn't every Hamas leader hunted down and liquidated in Operation Cast Lead? These are responsible for Shalit's captivity; not Tal Karman's muderer.

Lebanese Christian Author and activist, Brigitte Gabriel, wrote the following in her first book: "Growing up in the Middle East, I came to find out that Arab children are taught hatred of the Jews from their mother's milk. From a young age, Arab children are constantly bombarded with stories and information presenting the Jews as barbaric, conniving, manipulative, warmongering people. Meanwhile, Jews teach their children patience, humility, service, tolerance, understanding of others and charity to all." (Because They Hate: A Survivor of Islamic Terror," page 173)

back alive or dead as he may be. Then there will be no more kidnappings and no more releases of murderers of terrorist scum with blood on their hands.

I would not be against that but I would first cut off electricity and water. If he were not released unharmed in a set and short period of time, then I would invade and start killing. This situation has been allowed to continue for far to long.

As a concerned Israeli and the father of an IAF pilot I applaude you for being brave enough to state the obvious despite your horrible personal loss. IDF soldiers duty is to defend our country KNOWING the risks. While I would love to see Gilad Shalit return safely to his home, I view his parents campaign as shameful. With due respect, there is a price and redlines that no responsible Israeli government should be allowed to cross in total capitulation to bloody terrorists. We crossed this line when we released 400 terrorists for corpses and a drug dealer and shame on us for releasing the Haran family murderer. NO MORE! "Yesh Gevul"!

We have some palestinians here in Norway who have committed murder and rape. They could be an excellent echange for Gilad Shalit. Also Leyla Kahled is here. I would love to have they removed from this contry, and back to the gaza-strip where they belong, between their friends.

but why does a jewish website interest you so much? end!

what does the halachah say about this ?

just get into and bring giladi back!!!

hamas not to release Gilad unless al killers are released, hamas will do what the Left says hamas to do. I have asked A. Haas, and G. Levy to tell hamas to release (or allow visitation). They refused unless Israel release ALL killers (including Barghutti). So you know who holds the cards and the money for Fatah and Hamas. Even Plessner and Livni can make visitation possible. Bibi and Barak can't do anything.

Standard knesset nonsense. TRADE one SHALIT for one crummy arab... that's it, no more.

Hamas brought on a disaster for their people with this adventure in kidnapping. With every heart-wrenching Israeli debate about how to handle this situation, more and more stories about Hamas' brutality come out to the international mainstream. Israeli anger builds, desire to reconcile recedes, the left weakens, the settlers' case becomes more and more validated. Palestinians deserve nothing and will receive nothing. We really couldnt have asked for a more self-destructive enemy. The cost of hamas's hardline on shalit will be felt by the Palestinian people for generations.
