#1 Forgot to specify the category, but somehow it fits. Tales of kidnapping and ransom with Egypt playing the pimp.

#3 How about Gilad Shalit or we take over ALL of your oil wells?

#4 I thought their release was to be unconditional?

#5 If I was Israel I would take it of course thou how I understand that proposal it says no were that the 600 have to be transferred alive.

This is just more evidence stacked onto the piles already of why the DEATH PENALTY is so important to civilized society. If Israel had such this would not even be a issue.

The sad part is I believe Israel will agree and even further humiliate US more than they already have. I feel for the Israeli people but you get what you vote for.

#6 Boy, if I were a Paleo, I'd be offended and would seethe. I think Egypt just told them that one Jooooo is worth 600 Paleos, or am I reading that wrong?

#7 Actually, one Jooooo is worth 1200 Paleos, but the Egyptians are trying to get the two sides to meet each other half way.

#8 I think the 600:1 ratio is an accurate reflection of the casualty rate inflicted by either side. Is it just me or does this vastly disproportionate offer offend all sensibility? Who are these f&ckwits and how do they summon the gall to even propose such a preposterous notion? More importantly, how can this world continue to ignore the routine extortion (because that is what this essentially is) practiced by Islam in all of its dealings with outside cultures?

Israel would be well within its rights to summarily execute anyone who comes forward with such an insulting offer.

#9 We really don't know if he is alive, but if he is, the door is open to put an end to this permanently.
Make the trade. Welcome home Gilad.
Then, attack and annihilate them. Kill thousands before you declare a victory.
Survival in the new world is not for pansies.

#10 Survival in the new world is not for pansies.

Yet it is these pansies that are hamstringing all efforts to defeat terrorism. I'm beginning to think that people who refuse to take Islamic terrorism seriously actually abet it.

#11 Line the D9s up at the north end of Gaza then level and permanently retake one square mile of territory for each day Shalit remains in captivity. Repeat as necessary on the West Bank.

#12 Nope, no deal! You will only get the 72 raisins as the holy crayon states.
