| [Al Arabiya Latest] Dozens of Israeli protestors blocked crossings into Gaza on Tuesday to push for the release of a soldier held captive by Islamists in the Hamas-run enclave as the Israeli Defense Forces released the head of the Palestinian parliament after three years in prison. Jewish Israelis demonstrators held back lines of aid trucks at the Kerem Shalom crossing into southern Gaza demanding that its Hamas rulers give a sign of life of Gilad Shalit, who was seized by Palestinian fighters on June 25, 2006. "The message is for the Hamas government to give an answer from Gilad Shalit so Israel can know if he is alive," David Gilboa, one of the organizers of the rally, told AFP. |

| #5 However, a high level Hamas leader was released a couple of days ago - without reason - thus, something could be happening. Yes indeed! A successful Mossad agent recruitment. |

| #4 Jimmy Carter expected that Hamas/Hizbollah would jump at the opportunity to release Gilat into his hand. However, a high level Hamas leader was released a couple of days ago - without reason - thus, something could be happening. |

| #1 Some here have called this pointless. Maybe so, but I like seeing someone protest for the murdered rather than the murderers. |
