For the sake of fairness, can we now run a story about the over 12,000 Palestinians Israel has kidnapped and is holding without due process. Where is THAT story...

It is the media's humanization of Israelis versus its dehumanization of Palestinians that has skewed this issue so greatly in the American public discourse. So sad, so very sad...

Israel allows the Red Cross to see prisoners of war. Hamas doesn't.

Not true, your sources are wrong. Israel has kept hundreds of prisoners in solitary confinment for months and torture them. Please, be realistic and describe the facts on the ground not propaganda.

Quit saying he's "kidnapped," he's a POW.

Great, if Shalit is a POW, then the Int'l Red Cross should be allowed access to him. This has hever happened despite numerous requests, including from France (Shalit is a French citizen, too). No one has ever seen him since he was kidnapped. No one knows if he is still alive.

It was also the 42nd anniversary of the USS Liberty where brave US seamen were gunned down in cold blood.

And the Israeli Navy that launched 5 torpedos, one hit the Liberty. The Israeli airforce also dropped napalm on the Liberty.

What did the cowards in the White House and Congress do. They allowed Israel to deduct reparations from the millions in aid we give them and embrased our "ally" even closer.

Wrong. It was an accident and all investigations have proved it. The U.S. has committed numerous accidents during wartime that have killed civilians. For example, the bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade and the shooting down of a civilian Iranian passenger jet.

Wrong, it was NOT an accident and there was absolutely no credible proof of it being an accident. On the other hand, there was ample proof of it being intentional and malicious. Your propaganda will not work here.

The kid is dead, there is no question about it at this point. They have waged 2 wars based on trying to find this guy, yet they still don't have him.

I'm starting to wonder if he is made up to justify those wars...

I guess you don't know about the huge natural gas find off Gaza that Iz. is in charge of....and the find off Haifa that Lebanon thinks they own a share of.

Never all it seems to be, is it?

btw, Gaza would trade the soldier in a minute..for some Hamas prisoners. Iz. are the ones refusing a deal.
Whether he is actually alive to be delivered...is another issue.

The Gaza gas field is puny compared to the one directly off Haifa. The Lebanese claim is farcical.
