Jad, finding one person in the mazes of Gaza city is like trying to find the proverbial needle in the haystack. I am glad the Israeli leaders were smart enough not to set this up as an objective to the war, as it would have been a surefire way to mark the operation as a failure.

During the war in December, why didn’t the Israeli Army take the release of Gilad as one of their objectives. The Israeli Army penetrated deep into Gaza. Is he still in Gaza? Could he have been smuggled into Egypt?

Actually, I think Hamas did say they were treating him well, and I truly hope that is the case. I don’t care if their reasoning is religious or not – as long as Gilad is getting decent living conditions. Of course, with no Red Cross inspections, we have to take their word on that…

Israeli POW’s in past wars, in Syria and Egypt, were tortured – but those regimes did not have any “Muslim” aspirations, I think. Funny, how in that sense, it may actually be better to be captured by religious zealots.

So many of our hard-nosed leaders view such things as “collateral damage” and the lives of regular people as statistics or pieces in some game they only seem to understand. Or so they would have us believe. Any leader who does this is somehow admired among the more “realistic” among us for his “toughness” while in any other galaxy, a leader who gave up someone in his flock without working with every fiber of his being to get him back, would be called a miserable failure.

Honesty – like Mark Twain said: “A lie travels halfway around the Earth by the time The Truth gets its shoes on.”
