Do you think it's worth it...? What is he really worth...? Is there more value placed on ONE than the 1000???
It really makes you think.....all this for potential PEACE...? It still won't bring peace in the region...IMO
JERUSALEM -- A prisoner swap that will exchange one hostage Israeli soldier for 1,027 jailed Palestinians was being hailed Wednesday as a victory for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the leadership of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, a supreme irony in a world where Israel and Hamas have vowed to destroy each other.
For Netanyahu, the exchange ends a long-standing drama that's gripped Israel since Palestinian militants kidnapped the soldier, Gilad Shalit, in June 2006. Netanyahu said he feared that if the standoff over Shalit went on any longer, the changing dynamics of the region would make reaching an agreement impossible.
