According to this news (which contains a bit of moral equivalence, be advised), the Israeli government is going to do a prisoner exchange to regain Gilad Shalit.
I must be honest here, but I find it galling that all this time, no raid was made on Gaza to put an end to those Hamas monsters who'd kidnapped Shalit to begin with, which could have helped to rescue him.
See this entry at The Jawa Report for more.
Update: this current development has caused outrage among the families of terror victims. And they're quite right to be offended.

the ratio of 1000-to-one is good and bad:
ReplyDeleteit reveals that hamas thinks that one israeli is 1000 times more valuable that one arabs.
accurate. good.
but it also peoves to the arabs that all they have to do is kidnap one israelis to get 1000 arabs ou of jail.
this increases the likelihood that there will be more kidnapping.
I read they are including Marwan Baghouti in the "exchange". :((
