Stupid Decisions and Gilad Pays

I’m not a diplomat and while I can sometimes be diplomatic, other times, I clearly lack the needed finesse to deal with manipulations and negotiations. It’s a good thing I’m not part of the Israeli government; I have no patience for hypocrisy. I am simply unable to understand the logic of allowing a young man who did nothing but agree to serve his country to sit imprisoned after being kidnapped from our soil…while releasing Hamas leaders who are guilty of planning attacks, instigating terror, and so much more.

These are stupid decisions while Gilad Shalit pays. This news is being released throughout Israeli media channels, including this report from Israel National News:

(IsraelNN.com) Israel released Ibrahim Abu-Salem, a Hamas member of the Palestinian Authority parliament on Monday, after he ended his 38-month sentence in Israeli prison, Hamas movement said in a statement. Abu-Salem was one of 40 Hamas legislators arrested after Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit was abducted by Hamas and its allies.

Two weeks ago, parliament speaker Aziz Al-Dweik was released, leaving 35 other Hamas lawmakers and three others representing other factions in custody. PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas met with al-Dweik last week to present a plan for forming a Palestinian unity government, according to sources who spoke on condition of anonymity, to the Chinese Xinhua news agency. The sources stressed that it including five Hamas members.

  2. I am an American, & I know that because of our terrible president , that we have desertrd Israel. We haven’t. I’ve thought of your son just about everyday, especially since he sounded like he needed medical care. I pray for you son’s return soon!! May God Bless you & Israel. Do what you have to to protect yourselves since we have an inexpierienced worm in the White House. He will soon be gone. We have elections in 2010 for the House. We’re going to turn it around. And Barack Obama will be gone in 2010! I can’t believe the Jewish people mostly voted for him. Over here, it was a fad for the College students that knew nothing of politics. But I pray your Gilad comes home soon, so you can fill his face with kisses again. May god bless Gilad, Israel & the USA!! And everyone else for peace on earth!!
