How do we know Gilad is still alive? When’s the last time anyone (or at least anyone credible) actually laid eyes on him?
Can’t even begin to imagine the agony his family is suffering. Oh and worth mentioning - shocking that HRM is condemning Hamas, although of course it doesn’t stand alone - ‘Friday’s statement notes Israeli violations of Palestinian rights but says violations by one side “do not justify violations by the other.”’
Thanks nickcarraway.
Gilad, shmilad. When will the Israelis stop persecuting harmless terrorists, raiding their boats and shooting them just because of a few stab wounds and fractured skulls. When will they stop violating the rights of terrorists to use their wives as shields and hostages? Why can’t anyone enter Jerusalem wearing a protest vest that explodes? Compared to all these, keeping Gilad Shalit captive for a few years is nothing. Captivity builds character./sarc
