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.

Forever Changed...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Q_gF4dF_sM&feature=related-Wow...even if you don't understand what they are saying...just wow. You can clearly tell he is exhausted and does not want to be there. I wonder when the poor boy will ever get his old life back. Wait...never. I think this is sad, of course he wanted to come back, but i doubt he wanted to come back to all of this. He is famous for something i do not think people want to be famous for, and i think people made him feel too uncomfortable. Also, we can't forget that he will never be able to get his life back, for real. Imagine, 5 years in isolation, nobody, could ever, forget those moments. He will forever have thoughts and dreams about his experience in captivation, and that is a shame. What makes you want to kidnap a boy and ruin his life forever? What do you think about this?
