I really very sorry and hurts me to see Gilad how he was standing beside Sarkozy. Gilad looks very weak and can hardly stand. I really do not understand the stupidity of the Israei Government how well they are treating the Palestinians prisoners. Israel should treat these animals very harshly the same way the Palestinians treating Jewish/Israeli prisoners.

Gilad for PM !!!!!!

We love you, Gilad. Please come to the U.S. more often and you are welcome at all of our homes, from Los Angeles, Chicago, NY - nationwide. You are welcome to stay with us and please allow us the pleasure of treating you to dinners, events, anything your heart desires, our dear son.

it would only be a letdown after being in the presence of Kobe Bryant and Dwight (Superman) Howard.

(Willing to read about it and put up with ridiculous and selfish TB comments)

We know how to excite, eh?

Take advantage of every opportunity to enjoy yourself.

is it really necessary for reporters to invade shalit's privacy and tell us what he is doing in washington??His captivity was painful and his exchange was very painful for many israeli families and supporters. others felt that hamas leadership should have been liquidated one by one, all of them, their supporters until shalit was released. And if the worst happened, then the entire hamas machinery along with the other groups and supporters, and assets like gas stations, tranformers, water, docks, amories, and major centres along with tunnels should have been destroyed and sealed. Let him and his family live their lives and don't bother israelis with his travels.

Hero, no not really. fell asleep in his tank.

Besides a well earned vacation on favorite subject, he will try to do some political moves to help his father ...... He should take time out from the games and go to Disney World there in Orlando - just to feel like a kid again.

I hope he will see the benefits of leaving Israel for good. He deserves to have a better life. A life he will not have if he stays in Israel.

Yes Gilad welcome to my city, you can also see Yeshua if you like, he always prayed for you and your release.

you are still in our prayers.

to the prayers of many and the efforts of many. It makes me so happy for Gilad Shalit to be free. Well done to his parents and Prime Minister Netanyahu and others who made that possible, too, as well as the company of Noam Shalit that paid his salary while he pursued the release of his son. May Gilad Shalit heal and recover from the trauma of the afflictions of captivity.

I cried when I saw the young man released , all i can think abut was his momy, and his dad, I was so happy to see him free, I am a mother of 5 kids, here in Ca, born and raised in Lebanon, from a lebanese mon, and a palistenian dad from Nazerath, i would never wish any young man to be captured on the opposite side of the war, I don't care which side, I am so happy he is free, this message is for his mon,congratulation, your baby is home. Bernadette

Welcome to my city, if I can help you, please don't hesitate to let me know. I work in Orlando and live close. Shalom

and let him get on with his life

Gilad- come to Chicago! Have a nice time in the United States! We prayed for you and just want you to continue in your recovery- physically and mentally. You are a role model of heroism. All soldiers in Zahal are. As to the person who wrote the crack about falling asleep- that was just stupid. EVEN if that were true, what soldier in any army wouldn't speak to some instance when they fell victim to sleep deprivation. Blaming the victim rather than the terrorist perpetrators.

Seems to be a very nice young man. If he ever decides to come to the New England area of the USA, I'd like to invite him to a Celtics game.

we paid too too much to release him.

start telling us everytime he goes to the toilet...
