Gilad Shalit.

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.

I see Al-Jazeera news everyday and it has very propogandic properties....I mean even their ads.  Sorry to sound as if Iam offending Americans, But Im sorry those who have never experienced life in Israel will never know the truth of the matter...And simply go on the opposite side..

Every Angle..every side..Pfft.

It's not necessarily about experiencing life in Israel. And no one here has simply "gone to the opposite side". It's about being able to sort through the media to find the truth. In school I was taught to always support Israel's side. If I just accepted things at face value that's what my opinion would be.

In your opening post you've asked people for their opinions on the matter...

But when someone does post an opinion which you don't agree with you dismiss what ever they have to say.

"But Im sorry those who have never experienced life in Israel will never know the truth of the matter..."

If you know it all already and don't care to be open to listen to other opinions,  why did you bother asking for them?

I read them, Just many people here claim that Im Ignorant..

You're very close-minded and you don't listen.

In your Bio you say you were taken away from your home at age 3, I presume that was when you arrived in America? That hardly qualifies you to make the above statement.

I also think that you should show a little bit more gratitude/loyalty to the country (America) that took you in and gave you freedom, education, and an all round better quality of life. There are people literally dying trying to get to America to live.
