MY Vast Right Wing Conspiracy

Where were you when you turned 21?

Today is Gilad Shalit’s 21st birthday, his second birthday in the hands of Hamas terrorists.

Gilad Shalit was raised, the middle of three siblings in a small community in the rolling hills of northern Galilee, near Israel’s border with Lebanon. His father, Noam, is a manager at the Iscar machine tools company; his mother, Aviva, works at the Society for the Protection of Nature. His brother is a college student and his sister is at high school.

Friends describe Gilad as studious, good at physics and a little shy. But they say he is quite determined in his own quiet way, and that when he was called up a year ago he volunteered to join a combat unit. His elder brother, Yoel, 21, is a student at a polytechnic in the northern Israeli port of Haifa. He has a younger sister at high school.

Gilad was kidnapped on June 25, 2006 by Hamas terrorists who attacked an Israeli army post on the Israeli side of the southern Gaza Strip border after having crossed through an underground tunnel near the Kerem Shalom border crossing. During the morning attack, two IDF soldiers were killed and three others wounded.

His kidnapping was the catalyst for Israel’s subsequent attack on Gaza in a failed attempt to gain his freedom.

Today, no one knows where Gilad is, or even whether he is still alive. There has been one note early on, but no “proof of life” since then for Gilad. Hamas acknowledges they have him, and they taunt his family and his country with reports of his failing health.

Meanwhile, the Israeli Government rewards his kidnappers by releasing prisoners and the international community (including the United States of America) rewards his kidnappers by giving them cash money to fund more terrorist attacks. Its so hard to write about him. My heart just hurts. How the hell can the world accept this and expect Israel to work with these animals?

Two years ago, Israel gave up the Gush as a “show of good faith” to her “Partners in Peace.” And in return, Israel’s “Partners in Peace” sent thousands of rockets raining down on Israeli civilians, women, children, schools.

Last year, Israel should have fought until Gilad Shalit, Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev were released or until every single square inch of Lebanon and Gaza was buried under rubble. Hezbollah, Hamas, and Fatah should have been destroyed, completely destroyed, along with every single one of their supporters. The world would be a better place.

Instead, Israel gave up and accomplished nothing, and now, Israel has again released palestinian terrorists from its prisons in exchange for nothing, calling it a show of good faith to the evil bastards who hold these men captive. Originally, the plan was to negotiate the release of prisoners in exchange for the release of Gilad Shalit, but in the end, they just let the terrorists go free.

How would you like to spend your 21st birthday in the hands of terrorists, knowing that your country, and the entire world has abandoned you?
