God help that soldier. These barbarians don’t show the restraint in their “interrogations” that civilized people are expected to show.

Israel needs a different approach to how it deals with Israeli prisoners; something more like the Russian approach to these situations - pick up some high ranking Hamas leaders and start sending them back in pieces until the Israeli soldier is released.

Hezbollah snatched a couple of Russian diplomats in Lebanon in the late 70’s. The cousins of two of the leaders were found dead with their penises sewed into their mouths. Suddenly the Russians were freed. The KGB speaks Hezbollah’s language.

“If it were me I don’t think they’d be taking me alive”.

Same attitude that we must adapt in the situation that we are in with the 0.

I have had a great life and at 55 I am not ready to roll over just yet but if me dying made the difference for the future of true AMERICANS I would in a heart beat!

Let’s roll.......

On the news some drama queen reporter was talking about hundreds dead, senseless massacre and “the smell of death was in the air”. She didn’t bother to report that they had been told to leave the area. Good grief.

Smell of death in the air.

Overly dramatic. I’ve been around dead bodies.

Freshly dead doesn’t smell like anything cept the after shave they put on the day they died.

“Worst”? If more terrorists are eliminated, how can this be the “worst” day?

They may mistreat the soldier but they won’t kill him because they know they can trade one Israeli soldier for hundreds of Palestinian terrorists.

if Israel stopped taking prisoners, there would be no further incentive for kidnapping Israelis.
