thor: it would be okay to snatch an innocent palistinian and swap him. but releasing dangerous criminals is insane,and leads to more kidnapping and murder of jews. i would mark out an area of gaza and demand that if this soldier is not returned in 24 hours,that area will be incinerated. then i would mark out the next area.....................

conenorm ,USA: Adina Kutnicki is absolutely right. We don't have to feed for years murderers and in the end let them go in exchange for one kidnapped soldier or for bodyparts of fallen soldiers. Terrorists with blood on their hand have to stand immediate trial before a military court and be find guilty of murder, assault with a deadly weapon or whatever the charge is and executed. There should be just "light cases" in the prisons, usable for exchange, not terrorist murderers. Gilad Shalit was a soldier and he knew, that soldiers live dangerously.
