Nadene Goldfoot
About 6 years ago, a 19 year old soldier, Gilad Shalit, was kidnapped by Hamas terrorists. Israel didn't know if he was alive or dead. Nobody like the Red Cross could get to him.
Finally a deal has been made and Israel is trading 1,027 Hamas prisoners for Gilad. Included in the terrorist's number are some 450 terrorists who had murdered Israelis.
Netanyahu must have had nightmares over making this decision, as it releases potential killers again to be able to strike civilians. The value of life to Jews is immense, whereas life is cheap to our enemies, considering how quick they are to become walking bombs, or how quickly their parents are ready to sacrifice them for political gains. Like Golda Meier stated, "when the Arabs love their children as much as we love ours, then there is a chance for peace". Netanyahu knows that there has been so much pressure put on his government to get Gilad free that he must do this even though logic may argue.
Gilad has been handed over to Egypt by Hamas by having been driven through the Rafah crossing in a black car. He's not in Israel yet.
Of course Hamas thinks this is a big victory over Israel and now feel that kidnapping is a working plan. Moshe Yaalon of Israel said he felt the deal was a "capitulation to terror" which could result in hundreds of murdered Israelis in the years to come. Hamas "proudly summarized the day and said Israel had promised peace, while they had promised terrorism." I ask how they can be proud of themselves as a people for thinking that.
