Israeli lost in battle to be allowed to be returned to the nation state of Israel to let their bodies rest, even those who fought battles we did not see. I pray God assists us in this hope. I pray He returns Steven Sotlofff's body to Israel.

When we had the Egyptian 3rd Army surrounded we would give them one liter of water for one weapon

Hadar Goldin's father is absolutely correct. However, he understates the madness of Israel's policy of supporting her mortal foes. There is absolutely no sane reason for Israel to support our mortal "Palestinian" foes at all.

with a "sweating" PM, overweight Chief of General Staff, journalists/media people that see themselves as descendants of Gandhi & his non-violence politics, we are not able and shall not be able to extract even one lousy shoe from Gaza or anywhere else! Got it, idiots?!

If the world and Hamas expects us to be humanitarian, let them also be humanitarian and return the body. (unless of course, there are signs that he was cruelly tortured to death) then I can understand their not wanting to return the body.

Not Hamas or Hezbollah have ever returned Israelis, dead or alive, without extracting the release of Arab terrorists from local jails. Why they should abandon this profitable conduct, which results in more future Israeli casualties ? And if Israel presses Hamas by cutting food supply or shut down electricity, then anti Israeli organizations and countries which claim that the Jewish state treats Gazans too harshly, will probably wail that it deals with the Palestinians like Nazis have dealt with Jews, and those who already disseminate this libel, will argue that Israel behaves worse. Israel then may face more boycotts around the world and demands from the UNSC to impose sanctions on it.

into, by being dumb beyond excuse. It all worked well until we agreed for the first time to negotiate with Arab-Jihado-Islamo Fascists. Can you imagine Entebbe happening today?! Not in my wildest dreams....
