#2 Abbas doenst seem to be that bad of a guy to me. Impotent and powerless as a leader, but not a bad guy. They should give him an hour's warning before they crush the Paleos.

#3 I disagree. Israel agreed to arm his personal guard after they broke open the Hamas assassination plot, and he promptly handed the weapons over to Al-Aksa Martyrs Brigade and other associated baddies.

#4 In Gaza City, dozens of relatives of the 8,000 Palestinians held in Israeli prisons urged militants to hold Shalit until Israel agrees to a large-scale release of jailed Palestinians.

Release them via the morgue. Seriously. Start shooting one an hour until the IDF guy is returned.

#5 8,000 hours is far too long. I would say more like one per minute.

#6 ...and urged his captors to keep him safe.

I'm sure "safe" to these types in no way implies unhurt, just alive.

#7 Attack, attack, attack. Popcorn vendors around the world are well stocked and deliveries are on schedule. Film at 11.

#10 I see Hamas attacked soldiers instead of children. Shall we give them credit for trying to act like men for a change?

#11 Uh, no, James. Never give those pathetic cretins credit for repulsive behavior based on the class of victim (child v. adult, soldier v. civilian).

Regrettably, I think this soldier may already be dead, and Hamas is just stalling for time.

#12 Most likely, given that he reportedly was shot in the stomach and chest. It's not likely these factions could give him much effective medical care even if they wanted to, although I suppose it's possible they have a doctor who could do enough to keep him alive for a little while.
