Ummm... pardon me.<br />
Israel left Gaza. Did you know that?<br />
She left and only one Israeli remains.<br />
That is a kidnapped Israelu soldier.<br />
What is the problem?<br />
Why is the world angry at Israel? She LEFT! She left a viable Gaza, with a multi billion dollar infrastructure.<br />
And it was used as a rocket launch site.<br />
<br />
So..<br />
Please unlock the handcuffs and let Israel live in peace.<br />
<br />
Thank you

Yes, Gabby...We have not raised the topic of Gilad Shalit. There are things we don't raise and it becomes so easy to perceive the adversaries in this ongoing struggle in a different light because of this silence.<br />
<br />
But then, if it were raised, we know that there would be counter arguments, and we might or might not counter argue as well..ad infinitum.<br />

What does "prisoner exchange" mean? What are the risks?<br />
People here have noted that the suicide bombers have taken their own life out of desparation...not necessarily realizing how well planned these missions are. Not understanding that the military (and often sadistic) minds behind the missions..the brains and organizers of numerous attacks who turned others into walking bombs are up now for release...<br />
<br />
in order to free ONE KIDNAPPED soldier who was on the Israeli side of the border. A soldier, who like previous abducted or captive israelis, has had information about him kept secret in order to cynically manipulate the family and the israeli public. Information about him, signs of life, are used as bargaining chips....<br />
<br />
The fact that Gazans suffer because of this becomes Israel's responsibility..Israel will not further open the borders with Gaza unitl the Shalit issue is finalized...So Israel is to blame, all because of one Lone soldier.<br />
Israel makes a fuss about this one soldeir and millions suffer.<br />
<br />
Interesting how little is said in the other direction..Gaza..Free one kidnapped soldier..(get in return hundreds of prisoners and open borders)...Make one small gesture to help make the process move forward.<br />
<br />
It is absurd that the future of our People's here is dependant on the ongoing political maneuverings of our quite short sighted governments (Israeli and Palestinian).<br />

Hi Sissy and thank you for your ballanced comment.<br />

Regarding no one complaining, the same happening now with another major argument we have with Hamas over an abducted soldier: Gilad Shalit, can read info here: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilad_Shalit">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilad_Shalit</a><br />

I can only speak for myself - This issue is always on my mind (hopefully people in this community as well), but still did not raise it in any of my discussions. I am not bringing this up, because I am not here to blame and I do not want to be drawn to a neverending argument regarding who is to blame and who is the sadder side, and I do not think mentioning him here will help his cause anyway. Maybe I am wrong not to?<br />
<br />
I expect people who argue for and against anything, to know what they are talking about (obviously this is not the case) since all info, for and against, is on the web and to me it looks pretty balanced if you look at wiki.
