It is the right thing to do.

I doubt that he has Stockholm Syndrome! :)

Just — Releasing him to Egypt bothers me, because — It was only recently that the embassy stuff happened — I mean - It doesn’t make sense to me - That is, why would Israel want to have anything to do with Egypt, after the very recent embassy incident(s)?! Especially with this, which involves trust.

Well it _is_ crazy, but they were under pressure to do something to get him released - Gilad Shalit’s father was all upset, etc. It’s very annoying though - worse than annoying. :(

We could then reciprocate by making the first batch of freedom fighters (well, they do fight against freedom) dead, too.

I was wondering if anyone would catch on to that sly bit of innuendo. ;)

The fact is, success (in freeing Shalit) has a 'thousand mothers', while failure is always an orphan (as the saying goes), however from the first day that Shalit was kidnapped, the Israeli government should have quietly informed Asshat in Syria (Assad, a sponsor of Hamas), along with Arafatrat's successor (Abbas), that there would be no refuge or sanctuary for ANY terrorist leaders, and that the Mossad would have a bullseye on them personally until Shalit was returned safely. There could have been additional pressure placed on the terrorist kidnappers if the GWB Administration had informed Abbas and his cohorts that there would be absolutely no contact, no assistance, no acknowledgment, let alone 'recognition' until Shalit was returned, and breaking diplomatic relations with Syria until Shalit was returned would have been a valid tactic, as Syria has always craved international legitimacy, even while serving as a home and a host to all sorts of terrorist organizations. Syria is as much a rogue state as is Iran (and the two are joined at the hip).

While I may not agree with Netanyahu's decision to free terrorists and criminals in exchange for Shalit, I do agree with the concept that one Jew is worth MORE than a thousand of those child-murdering scumbags.

May God deliver Sergeant Major Gilad Shalit.

As I said on another thread, the Israelis are saying that they will release hundreds of murderers who will perform more murders of Israelis in the future in exchange for the release of one Israeli. The Palestinians see weakness on the part of the Israelis, are taking advantage of said Israeli weakness, and celebrating it. As the Palestinians see it, if your enemy is willing to do something monumentally stupid, why would you not take advantage of it?

On course the Palestinians will happily go with the concept that one Israeli is worth one thousand Palestinians, that will maximize the effect of taking one Israeli hostage. And the hunt for the next Israeli hostages will begin as soon as Shalit is released.

Yes, and now that we’ve established the rate of exchange, let’s make up for the fact of the exchange and the fact of the diplomatic wishy-washiness that made an exchange the only option, by killing at least a thousand terrorists.
