1. KANGAROO COURT
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (10.17.11)
Courts could care less about these poor victims .they only care about their secular leftist shalits.
2. Noam Shalit,
Salma ,   Palestine   (10.17.11)
Look into their eyes, speak in a strong clear and firm voice, the living is more important than the dead.
3. President's Wholesale Abuse Of Pardon Power Must Be Stopped
Ariel Ben Yochanan ,   Kfar Tapuah, Efraim   (10.17.11)
4. I thought that one of the rules for receiving a pardon
Zev ,   Israel   (10.17.11)
is regret and remorse for the deed. Did these murderers do so??? If not how can they be padoned????
5. The dead are dead and nothing will bring them back
Zev ,   Israel   (10.17.11)
but petitions should be filed by future potential victims that are being put into a clear danger and may be on the next bus or in the next restaurant that is blown up by one of these released murderers.
6. #2
Jose FARIAS ,   Sao Paulo - Brasil   (10.17.11)
Salami Life is more important than death.
7. TO PETITIONERS
Isaac Storm   (10.17.11)
To petitioners: If the court argues that they do not intervene in Israeli government security and political matters, then point to all the times that the court HAS intervened in Israeli government security and political matters. (Like the fence) I don't think that you will win, but at least you can show a substantial arbitrariness and inconsistancy of the court.
8. The bereaved can't get their loved ones back, so they hate
(10.17.11)
the Shalits because of jealousy and malice. So typical of human nature without HaShem, to despise those who are more fortunate.
9. SHALIT ! MAYBE YOU SHOULD THINK TO OTHER PEOPLE TOO....
(10.17.11)
10. THERE IS NO JUSTICE ANYMORE IN ISRAEL
(10.17.11)
11. Noam Shalit will address who?!!
Mark ,   Jerusalem   (10.17.11)
So instead of acting like decent human being Noam decides: - Politicizes the whole Shalit returning - Spits on the feelings of others (I don't remember that he, at least ONCE, talked with the victims of terror attacks, OR their families) - Puts others Israelis in danger (That including himself AND his family). - Destroys Israel's reputation in the rest of the world as fighter against terrorism (Read foreign Opinions about the deal) - Encourages others murderers to do it again (and they already promised it) - Publicly address the court instead OF families! I really hope when the time will come, they will return to France, US or whatever place they came from (and mark my words they will do it really soon).
12. Gilad was kidnapped protecting YOU!
laurie ,   Tzfat, Israel   (10.17.11)
WHAT does anyone's politics have to do with anything? How do you know what the Shalit's political thoughts are? And who cares? What possible does it have with anything? Gilad was serving his country, protecting you. It is our obligation to take whatever measures are necessary to free him. There's not a Jew in Israel who doesn't hurt to know that terrorists have to be released in order to get Gilad back. But if that's what we have to do, so be it. Their true punishment will come from God. Our job is to release our captive soldier.
13. And Now Here's The Final Score:
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (10.17.11)
Arabs 1027, Jews 1. Oy.
14. I want to see the court reduce number
Tarbouche ,   Aswan   (10.17.11)
of released murderers , and see where Hamas stand. Keep reducing, renege on deal. Price much too heavy. I feel for Noam , but soldiers fight till death to protect people not to open floddgate of killers of their people.
15. court a sham
Zev ,   Israel   (10.17.11)
Peres already signed the pardons so the court can not stop them. So who are they fooling???
16. #3; you apparently know nothing about Israeli Law
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (10.17.11)
The President of the State of Israel is a figure head an he is obliged by the Basic Law to adhere to the laws of the Knesset and abide by Government policy. He has NO constitutional power. The deal was signed and sealed by the government elected by the people of Israel and, as you are from Kfar Tapuach you probable voted for this right wing lot who approved it. You made your bed, now lie in it!
17. kangaroo country
joe ,   ta, il   (10.17.11)
filled with stupid angry deluded people all out to screw each other over - my opinion - not surprising that this could then be seen as a good deal. life is cheap here noone cares unless theres money involved. we can send apaches to gaza to kill people in the streets including children. why can't we tell hamas, release shalit or we hang 1027 convicted criminals. stupid stupid people here who all think they are super human intelligent, nope just very devious. RIP Israel 1948-2011. was fun, a good challenge but ultimately doomed to failure - noone likes jews, not even jews, especially not groups of them. they are infuriating people and i count myself as one(chopping foreskins has a negative effect on society). whats this whole thing a smokescreen for?whats really happening behind the scenes?
18. haredi and protests
alexi   (10.17.11)
look at religious protesters-the young. They look so weak in their disitincitve garb. I have been saying this for a long time. haredi invite antisemitism since gentiles look at them, the jews, and how weak they appear. I order all haredi to undergo martial arts training now, rright away. You have to be confident like idf veterans. Mofaz, a lousy sloppy general has no chance of being PM not with his record and with tsipi olmert in his party, a weakling number one. ' Bibi of course will not be the next PM. Hew could have been but will be replaced by someone else. Why? He chose barak as his defence minister. He could have chosen yaalon and given barak a meaningless post. Israelis are sick of barak and his classroom medals. This soldier simply appeases and ruans away from lebanon, from cast lead, from assassinating hussein, from everything he touches. Bibi chose him and now his fate is sealed period. After his term ends, Feiglin or lieberman will replace him. And if he asks himself why since has been 1000X better than olmert, then I repeat the answer as mindenstraus said,barak is detached, he runs away, he concedes, he demeans israeli national sense of self.
19. Revenge is justice?
Orly ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (10.17.11)
War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.
20. RELEASE SHALIT AND SAVE THE WORLD
......DACON9   (10.17.11)
when THERE ARE NO LEADERS and the sheep WILLINGLY go to slaughter... willingly ! We are taught it is the time for Mashiach. We are taught that even the FEW righteous of ISRAEL will survive and not the whole, same as when we left mitzrayeem (egypt). Releasing Gilad Shalit is saving a world AS WE ARE TAUGHT and the new worlds of his children B"H" Releasing Gilad Shalit gives notice to the IDF that ISRAEL WILL GO TO THE GREATEST LENGTHS TO SAVE THEM if Chas Ve Shalom they are every kidnapped. Surely one JEW is worth 1000 arabs. Jews VALUE LIFE not sacrifices Retyrning Shalit renews the energy for IDF . It renews the energy for the believers in life. It gives JEWS all over the world notice that ISRAEL WILL STILL SUPPORT ITS OWN.... The last few years so many JEWS feel that Israel has lost its course and it has. Isreal should have got Shalit back within ONE HOUR OF HIS CAPTURE but instead ISRAEL in arrogance said ' "we have to be diplomatic so as not to upset the world opinion" ISRAEL FORGOT G D.....who King David always prayed to for help in wars and guidance. THE ISRAELI FAILURES: PERES, sharon, livni.olmert and bibi The Israeli rabbis flip flop on so many issues,edicts proclamations and rulings, so much that its hard to believe they are religious leaders and not politicians ISRAEL LAND IS HOLY ....explain what the people living there are.
21. Prisoner list should never had been advertised
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (10.17.11)
22. Dumb Israelis
steve ,   UK   (10.17.11)
You still dont get it do you... Each and every gesture of mercy and goodwill Israel offers the arabs, is misinterpeted by the arabs as a weakness. And in a nutshell , thats why the're will never be peace in the middle east , you talk logic and compassion, they answer you with cruelty
23. Buyer's remorse
Sidney ,   USA   (10.17.11)
When the public comes to appreciate the consequences of this deal, it may bring the government down. The people called leftists by the media, who should be called appeasers, are driving Israel further and further to what is called the right. Compare Chamberlain and Churchill, at the time many people approved of his deal with Hitler selling out Czechoslovakia in exchange for "peace in our time". History now only has contempt for him. Shalit is Netanyahu's Munich.
24. "...the result is well-known in advance"
Jake from Phila. ,   U.S.A.   (10.17.11)
"Senior legal officials... explained, "Today, petitions with the High Court of Justice serve as a stage for families of terror victims to voice their pain even though the result is well-known in advance." That's not a petition process; that's a farce.
25. No justicein the supreme -meretz- court. kangaroo court
Jude ,   Erie Basin, NYC   (10.17.11)
all the way. in america we dont release terrorists for a soldier. we dont deal with mexican drug gangs
26. Maybe
Norman ,   france, Eurabia   (10.17.11)
Maybe if the judges had some fears about their relatives... justice would be different :-(
27. Noam Shalit did all the work for Mashaal
Arn ,   Yehud, Israel   (10.17.11)
Without Noam Shalit Mashaal would have been satisfied with peanuts. I agree with #11. The Shalit's will be so hated - for all the right reasons - it won't take them long to pack and leave.
28. I'll wager that...
Arn ,   Yehud, Israel   (10.17.11)
I'll wager that soon after his return Gilad Shalit will say that he made very good friends there and would like to return.
29. shalits...the winers of a lost war.
les ,   canada   (10.17.11)
shame on that 76% "official, politically correct, leftist votes" for the shalits. i do wish when the price to pay for this outrage, it will be paid by those, who were involved in this decision! and it will come SOON!
30. Shalit`s deal
Vivien ,   Israel-Jerusalem   (10.17.11)
There most have been required a national vote on this deal. There was nothing so relevant to any Israeli citizen during the state`s history. The High Court of Justice interferes only when there is something wrong technically in the juridical procedure and has no intention to place itself in the middle of such controversial issue - this is the sad realility!
