Gilad Shalit returns, but what happens from here?

So Gilad Shalit, held captive by the Hamas for 5 years, has now been freed, but at the price of a prisoner exchange.

On the one hand, he's very lucky to have survived. On the other, it's atrocious that many terrorist convicts were freed to enable this. Here's one article about terror victims who are angry. The biggest concern is how it could lead to more kidnappings under the assumption that it will work completely in getting Israel to free more terrorist convicts and damage justice procedures.

Update: here's something most sickening: in Egypt, an interviewer asked Shalit in presence of armed Hamas militia if he'd work for release of more prisoners. Truly abominable. More on the subject at Power Line.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
