Deal to Free Israeli Soldier Advances

November 24, 2009 - 3:46 PM | by: Michael Tobin

The ball is back in the court of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the effort to win the release of the Israeli soldier kidnapped almost 3 and a half years ago.

The world was watching a meeting in Cairo between top representatives of Hamas and the German mediator. Hamas leaders emerged Tuesday evening and boarded a plane for Syria, creating the impression they were going to present the prisoner exchange deal to Hamas politburo Chief Khaled Meshall for final approval.

However, an Egyptian source tells Fox News the final deal does not rest only with Hamas. There are still names of Palestinian prisoners that Netanyahu must green light to be released from Israeli prison to make the deal go through.

Gilad Shalit was kidnapped in a deadly cross border raid that killed 2 of his comrades June 25, 2006. He has been in Hamas captivity ever since. Hamas is demanding a total of 1000 prisoners to be released in exchange for Shalit, 450 of them specifically named.

Norma, you have a lot of violent hate inside of you. To the point of being pathological and obsessive. I wonder what in your life has made you so.

To get more factual information regarding this whole situation google the following: WHAT THE KORAN SAYS ABOUT THE LAND OF ISRAEL; BRIGITTE GABRIEL AT THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION (youtube); A MUSLIM IN A JEWISH LAND (by Dr. Tashbih Sayyed).

Norma - you are a perfect example of education gone WRONG - Eductaion is supposed to enlighten you not turn you into a MORON. Also if you are in fact a doctor I guess compasion does not ring a bell to you. It is very scarry to hear someone of your so called intelligence going off like a moron. I can gurantee you have never visted Israel or know anything about Israel besides your imaginary thoughts on the subject. Gilad Shalit is a human being just like all people on earth - maybe except for you who should be on the FBI'S MOST WANTED LIST, and fired from your place of employment for your monsterous views. NORMA G-D BLESS YOU - YOU NEED A BLESSING FROM GUESS WHO? A JEW LIKE ME

Jews control the world with their poor pitiful little me routine. I am not a bigot or a racist but fact is fact. They torture Palestinians everyday, people just trying to scratch out a living like you or me. All because it was suppose to be magically gifted to them from the mystical sky fairy. Please, this war has been going on for thousands of years over a piece of dirt that cannot even produce a farm worth farming, the whole ordeal could be resolved if religion was taken out of the equation on both sides. Boohoo the Jewish nation has suffered alot, but so has every other nation on this planet.It is time for the USA to cut the cord on them. They claim they can protect themselves let them take on one of these humongous Islamic Nations and see how far that gets them. That's my rant and I'm sticking to it. Bring some peace to this world and end violence against regular people trying to survive and while I'm at it its time for us to leave the middle east, Afghanistan and Iraq are huge failures which have lost countless military and civilian lives,perpetrated by W and Dick. Please bring some peace once in awhile.

thses soldiers are the ones protecting the settlers in violation of what the usa govr says..we should threaten to round 10000 jews for every home built in occopied palestine.... and ship them in cargo holds with ventilation/perfusion of course of .8 so that they can regress back to israel and not ours....all of them shud be given benzodiazepines so they can sleep well on their trip... and they should be given haloperidol if they refuse...now thats a plan to bring peace:) are u with me dear collegues Joe might have some of these differntial diagnosis: Loser. JEW, KIKe but my DX would be a mix of all 3 with hypocomman sense, maybe even a compensatory delusion for be a jew lover.......

I hope someone, maybe even FOX, tracks Norma the loser down. An individual as angry and evil as her needs to be revealed, so those around her know the truth. She should probably be on the FBI's watch list.

Here is the answer to the problem. Jordan takes back the West bank, Egypt takes back Gaza. No more occupation. There never was a Palestine.

Norma: Wow,could u by chance be one of satan's minions? Your words don't quite sound like someone who is of higher education but of an ignorant bigot. Do you like the way hate tastes? I pray for you and anyone you've influenced. I sincerely hope we never cross paths.

I don't know why I even dignify Norma's last Post with a reply, but it was just so ignorant, I feel I must. Firstly, Gilad Shalit was a "logistics" soldier. He was not assigned as a combatant soldier. Also, I don't know of any IDF soldiers who killed "Palestinian Babies." So Norma, get your facts right! Next, the Nazis killed EVERYBODY!! - from auto mechanics to Catholic Priests. If Norma means "normal people," like her, the Nazis went after her kind FIRST!

Norma, are u ok? You sound suicidal.

Norma- Are you really that much of a Moron!?! I mean, I remember when Harvard was actually respected as a staple of Higher Education, now it's greatest graduates appear to be the lunatic ruining our country and YOU! That really says a lot for the school, doesn't it. What are you going to do when a Jew actually takes you up on your offer, go cry to the ACLU that your civil rights have been violated. Don't flatter yourself that your are even worth anyone's time.

Norma, please keep up your anti-Jews feelings. It is those feelings from losers like you for centuries that had brought Jews together and made them stronger. Jews thrive when they are surrounded by hatred. Shalom. ps. Oh, 33% of the noble prize winners are Jews. Considering the % of Jews in the world population, this is an astronomical number. While the Jews are working to make the world a better place to live in, losers like you want to kick Jews. Go figure.

The Native Americans that were here before us white folk owned this land fair and square before we murdered their women and children and stole the land from them. We never gave them land in which they could make their own country. Why did the Jewish people get Israel back? Their ancestors owned it.. and their ancestors are long and gone. In my opinion, they lost Israel because they crucified the Messiah that they've so long waited for. The U.N. goes and puts the Jewish people smack dab in the middle of a bunch of people that want them gone. It wouldn't surprise me if we learned there were Nazis in the U.N. and they thought it would be a good way to get the Jews wiped out. Don't get me wrong, I'm on Israel's side, and I believe Muslims are inherently evil. I'm simply bringing up the point.. I wonder if the U.N. thought Israel would actually survive.

MR. SCHMEKEL

There are so many sides to a story, my side your side, and the truth. You would think that Hamas, palistinians, and the other bad guys would have a clue by now that if they kill one jew, they lose a whole lot more. With that said though, sooner or later both sides need to truly get serious about PEACE!. Is this a start? probably notbut may a teeny tiny step in the right direction. I am an american jew who is very proud of who and where I came from. I would gladly give my life in the name of peace for both sides. I would love someday to go to the sand box and play, see the sights and meet all kinds of cool people from all sides.

You are a disgusting Anti-Semite. You and your ilk make me sick to my stomach. You should join your Nazi friends in Hell.
