| Hamas: Israel must consider Shalit's fate after bombing Gaza |
| 2009-01-22 |
| The Qatari daily A-Sharq quoted Hamas leader Moussa Abu Marzuk on Wednesday as saying that Israel must think about the fate of abducted Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit after its massive bombing of Gaza, Israel Radio reported. Israel dropped tons of munitions on Hamas targets throughout the coastal strip during its 3-week campaign against the Islamist group, which ended on Sunday when both sides declared cease-fires. Nevertheless, the Damascus-based Abu Marzuk was quoted as noting that the issue of Shalit will receive more prominence in the future. The Israel Defense Forces soldier was kidnapped by Gaza militants in June 2006 during a cross-border raid. According to A-Sharq, Abu Marzuk also said that Hamas had killed Gazans suspected of collaborating with Israel during the IDF offensive. He was quoted as claiming that some of them had marked targets for the Israel Air Force to strike. Abu Marzuk's reported comments echoed ones he was said to have made last week. The Lebanese daily Al-Hayat quoted Abu Marzuk last Sunday as saying that Hamas no longer cared whether Shalit had been wounded in the IDF campaign. "Shalit may have been wounded, and he may not have been," Abu Marzuk reportedly said. "The subject no longer interests us." Israel, meanwhile, wishes to renew negotiations with Hamas for the return of the kidnapped soldier. Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said Tuesday that progress in the talks was a precondition for any Israeli concessions to Hamas. |

| #4 I know he's dead. The good sign is that Hamass is sidling up to agreeing to the fact that he is dead. Hamass is trying to build plausible deniability to the fact that they killed him long ago. The slightest shred of doubt is all the muslims need in order to run with it and wave it around as a fact. They probably think that once Israelis accept the fact that he is dead, the Israelis will no longer have an excuse to attack them, and they will be safe from having their a$$es beat on a regular basis. |

| #3 He's dead gorb: Hizbullah standard method (sure to be adopted by Paleos) is to kill any Israeli prisoners and hide the bodies in cemetery under false headstone till the exchange. |

| #2 But it also suggests that they would like to remove it as an excuse for Israel coming back at them for another bite. I call it a good sign. |
