It doesn't matter if he is held hostage or dead. Israel just needs to consider him dead and kill everybody involved.

#2 Good chance the poor kid is already dead. Or won't live long after any prisoners are released. No one credible has seen him have they? (the International Red Cross is not considered 'credible'.)

#3 The International Red Cross/Crescent/anything-but-Star-of-David have never seen or spoken to Sgt. Schalit, CrazyFool. Nor has anyone else not of Hamas or his original captors. There was a video Hamas released last year, in which he held up a newspaper and referenced recent events, I believe.

#4 Gaza simply isn't that big

Iran is.

#5 "I'm a little disheartened that Mossad and IDF can't figure out where he is -- Gaza simply isn't that big."

Assuming that Schalit is still alive he is probably moved a few times a week.

#6 Line up a few dozen artillery pieces on the north of Gaza, and start blasting away. Move south a bit each day, and keep it up until Hamass releases Shalit and leaves Gaza for Somalia (they really won't be welcome there, which is the point). If the artillery reaches the Egyptian border, we'll know that:

a) Shalit is dead.
b) so is hamass.
c) the Israelis can reabsorb Gaza without worrying about a third (or fourth) intifada.
d) the solution worked, and can now be used on the West Bank.
