Who Is Gilad Shalit?

Gilad Shalit is an Israeli soldier who was kidnapped by Hamas militants on June 25th 2006. He was held in an unknown location in the Gaza strip for over 5 years, with nobody having any knowledge about his current state. The Hamas militants held him in captivation and isolation for 1941 days, until his release on October 18th 2011, as part of a prisoner exchange. This exchange being Gilad Shalit, for 1027 Arab prisoners, most of them terrorists. Now, of course, all the Israeli citizens wanted Gilad freed, but they obviously didn't want the person responsible for their child's death to be released back into the world to kill more people. Me, I think that yes, the deal is CRAZY, and completely unfair, but i still think Israel did the right thing when they agreed to the prisoner swap. You would think I'm crazy, but that is why i made this blog. I want to share my opinions about why I think the Shalit deal was worth it for Israel(I'm not saying it's good/fair), and would like to hear different opinions from different people.

Hello

Hello, I will be blogging about the release of Gilad Shalit. For those of you who don't know, Gilad Shalit is an Israeli soldier that was captivated by Hamas militants. After 5 years of being captivated in an unknown location, Israel traded 1027 of their Arab militants, for the release of Gilad. The ratio being 1000:1 Of course this worries many Israeli citizens, as most of those prisoners were terrorists responsible for lives of many innocent Israelis. So I will be blogging about the Shalit deal, and why I think it was the right thing to do, for Israel.
