Gilad Shalit
What a day! I am so thrilled that Gilad Shalit’s prayers have been answered! I can’t even imagine being in captivity with such monsters (Hamas), for even five minutes, let alone over five years!
I don’t usually write politics, because truthfully, I am not into politics, but this has been a story of a very young Israeli soldier taken into captivity when he was only 19 years old, never allowed to have a single visitor, had only one interview in all those years and the “hopes” he may have been released in 2009, only to be dashed…how could he really believe it would happen again after that? I totally feel it was “forced” that interview to make it seem like he was being treated very well. Come on, between you and me, do you actually expect any of us to believe that they were treating him very well? He looks terrible! Plus, the heartache his parents and family and friends endured during those long months, years, etc. Many 19 year olds today have barely left home and have no idea what they want to do with their life and Gilad had so many more “BIG” things to be worrying about at his young age. Anyway, I said I was not going to discuss much, but it is so hard. After reading and watching videos of Gilad’s release, interview with Egyptian TV, etc. there are so many thoughts flooding my brain… How could his FIRST interview be done prior to even seeing his family? How dare they ask him questions like “Do you plan to help the 4,000 remaining Palestinian’s left in Israeli prisons to be freed?” IS THAT A JOKE? They put him in captivity and now he should help release them? It is incredible the gal this reporter had to even ask! It is so obvious it was all to make Egypt look good. No question it was wonderful they intervened, but take the credit a little later, like after he has the chance to see sunlight for the first time in close to 5 1/2 years, or hug his Mom and Dad…
Gilad, we love you! We are so happy for your release! We hope you can find peace after all that you have been through and we wish for you a long, happy life with a family of your own someday…take it one step at a time…we are all thrilled about your freedom and just sorry that all those prisoners needed to be released when we know in our hearts that they will just kill and hurt again, though we would like to believe they were rehabilitated while they spent their time in the jails, but we know that is just wishful thinking…they are NOT like us, the Jewish people and the Israeli’s in particular have never KILLED for nothing, we do it to protect ourselves, always have, throughout all of Jewish history! We would never take a life, unless it was deemed necessary and extremist groups such as Hamas, Jihad, etc. do not understand that! They get thrills out of killing Jews and Israeli’s…it is sickening…I hope you get what you deserve!
Let’s celebrate your freedom, Gilad Shalit and hope for a future with peace between all nations and finally a sense of calm for all of Israel.
May this new year bring renewed hope, peace, health and all good things for the nation of Israel and all nations of the world!
