Israel Marks 4th Year of Soldier's Captivity in Gaza

Israel Marks 4th Year of Soldier's Captivity in Gaza

So far, Israel has refused to pay the price demanded by Hamas - 1,000 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for the soldier. Though Israel has carried out lopsided prisoner swaps in the past, the current government is reluctant to release top militants involved in deadly attacks.

"We know that if we will release some of the terrorists that [are] today in prison, it's a matter of weeks until they will start to implement their expertise, which is causing terrorism in Israel," said Denon.

1000 Palestinian prisoners, for one Israeli prisoner.

That is how much the life of Palestinians are worth, and if people still don't believe, view some previous prisoner swaps.

And also examine the number of Palestinian prisoners.

And I wonder why they won't do the swap this time? In my opinion some Palestinians which are asked to be released have been tortured, etc.. That being said would cause a huge wave of attacks against Israel if exposed.

I find it odd that Israel believes releasing Palestinian prisoners would cause an increase in terror attacks.

Israel will never agree to a swap..

Wouldnt matter if it was one for one...

They NEED that one poor Israeli soldier to stay in prison so they can carry on using that "one poor soldier" as an excuse to starve,maim and kill many more of the 1.4million people of Gaza.

Sounds like the Palestinians are the ones who came up with the number...

I bet the Palestinians have certain names on the list that they Israelis can't afford to give up.

That's quite correct, I would say. That soldier is worth a lot more to the israeli's being held prisoner than he is returned.

i just marked the 43rd anniversary of israels illegal and immoral occupation of the palestinians. i bet the israelis are salivating at the prospect of the hamas excecuting the zionist aggressor so they can level and kill every man, woman and child that they figure will cause the least amount of backlash. so far they set the benchmark at 1,300 civilians and the u.n. barely took notice and as usual the white house vomited its usual " israel is our best friend and israel has no greater ally than the united states and the all time classic " we look forward to a 2 state solution with a democratic palestine living side by side with a free and independent israel."

Shalit has been held for 4 years! Israel has palestinians they have been "holding" for 20 years. They have children held without charges, only suspicians they might have thrown a rock at a soldier. They are "holding" Hamas MP's, taken from their beds in the middle of the night! If you think Israel wants Shalit released your deluded. Israel has little to complain about so they NEED Shalit in Gaza!
