Yes, It's me the Israeli girl who obsesses about her Nationiality.  But this time Hopefully there will be no fights  =)

Did anyone here the news about this kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit who was captured right before the 2nd Lebanon war 2006 near the Gaza Strip by the Hamas (Political or Terrorist organization depending Who you are), anyways he's still in Gaza.  There were discussions on "getting" Gilad Shalit back by releasing 30 Terrorist prisoners who are themselves in Israeli Prisons, for the sake of Gilad Shalit.  I know its hard getting hold of captured soldiers especially for the trade off of numerous terrorists But Im kind of angry at the Israeli government for the case of the captured soldier, Ron Arad in 1981-1st Lebanon war, Who was sadly kind of forgotten for 22 years.  Still Imprisoned in Lebanon, I just hope Hope HOPE they will bring him back-Gilad Shalit at least.  Because last time they tried "getting Back" Ron Arad we trade about 1000 Terrorists with Lebanon and received the other stolen soldiers but never Ron Arad, He Still might be In Lebanon dead or Alive, Hopefully still alive.

What do you guys think about this situation?  Should Israel trade in 30 Terrorists for Our soldier?  Personally I think so.  But maybe its because I have an "Israeli Connection".  Anyways Post your opinions, Im interested.

Looking at this, This occured exactly 2 weeks after a "Cease-Fire" apparently the cease-fire failed.

Unfortunately some individuals obviously don't want a cease-fire but one person's actions (or even a "little known group's" actions, if they really were involved) can't speak for all of Palestine.

But If things like this Keep happening, It does become a responsibility of a nation.  And Especially when they are given rights, and then abuse them.

*giggles quietly*

I am reminded, with #222, of a parent grousing about their teenager. :)

And This applies to Grousing about a Nation.

Anyways If events like this do keep happening, Then really How can "Palestine" become an Independent Nation If the control of the People Is lacking.

So how do they control everyone? Even with a cease-fire there are still people who hate Israel and will act out. I don't know how they can control every single person, especially in these circumstances.

The Cease fire was Lost during the first 2 days anyways.  When The Fatah Decided to Launch Rockets at Israel, The Fatah Is In the Gaza Strip.  And If This is So Palestinian Authority Definitely should have held over that matter.

people in the united states keep committing crimes

does this mean we should become a police state and eliminate the bill of rights? (such as its shreds remain)

I can't help myself. It's driving me insane.

FYI.

p0nda---Could you please correct what I did wrong.  Obviously my English Isn't god enough.

And what Is the Palestinian Authority?  A "Non-Police" state?  It's not only up to the will of Israel to create Peace, Throughout Eras the Middle East was an origin of conflict and "Non-Peace".  Maybe you didn't see that Palestinian citizens themselves harm their citizens too. 

And Israeli Individuals who do harm Innocent Palestinians surely get their reward for it, Jail.  They don't get let off easy either.  I have links to this, This isn't random information out of my mouth.
And Since the middle east always was a location of conflict, How can Israel suddenly "change" this.  They can't.  Either All or None. (Nations).

I don't understand, you were raised in the United States, were you not? 

As an example, you wrote:

Actually,

The cease fire was lost during the first 2 days anyways.  The Fatah, located in the Gaza Strip, decided to launch rockets at Israel.  If this is so, Palestinian Authority should definitely be responsible for that matter.

Sorry, if we're going to be fixing posts might as well go the extra mile.

I did hear that Israel let some Iranian hostages go today.

lol I wasn't fixing grammar and sentence structure, I was fixing capitalisation, which is the part I find unbearable. I will agree, however, yours is far better.. :)

I'm glad SOMEONE said something about it, because I was about ready to :P

I wouldn't think that was such a major problem in english in relation to capitalisation.  And I was raised here but I only talk  Hebrew at home and mostly write in Hebrew at school, considering that our school stresses hebrew education.  It's a private school.

Israel is ready to let out Amar Quantar who in 1970's murdered an Israeli family---Haran Family in exchange for the 2 captured soldiers---Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser. 

I don't know but I think it's good that the nation cares about the soldiers to this extent. 
Update:  In Israel July 16, 2008.

We (Israel) made a deal with Hezbollah to trade the terrorist and prisoner Quntaur with the 2 soldiers who were in captivity for 2 years sonce 2006 1st Lebanon war.  Nasrallah claimed that 1 was still alive?  Lies, and deceit.  Today Israel received 2 coffins.  At least Im glad that Israel made the effort to bring back their remains for burial.

I don't think that really excuses it.

And that is what happens when you negotiate with "terrorists".
The fact still proves deceit.  This is disgusting, And it will continue the capturing of more soldiers---You claim that Israel is an "Illegal Occupation" and "Terrorists" Give me a break, Im here right now, I saw how the army is I know how it is. 

NO, Thats what happens when you care about your citizens, Yes.

And what do you mean "terrorists" ?  They are 100% TERRORISTS, not simply "terrorists".  They are horrible. And full proof liars.
America doesn't have the problem of terrorists.  Israel does therefore they have no choice but to negotiate with terrorists Israel---My be hard for you to believe doesn't only care for it's own self-interest.
