Should all international aid to Gaza be halted until someone from the Red cross can visit Gilad ?

Public Comments

1. No, using blackmail would bring us down to the same level as his captors.

2. I have been saying this all along. I know there are a few people who still hold out hope that he is alive but I really think they're just living in denial.

Instead of trying to make ridiculous prisoner swap deals that always end up with Israel releasing hundreds of criminals in exchange for a dead body, Israel should have called on the international community from the onset to take the upper hand in this situation and demand that he be treated in accordance with international law or sacrifice their international support. Instead, like always the international community has bowed to the oil rich nations and set on its collective butts while criticizing Israel for every move its made.

I'm personally sick and tired of my tax dollars going to these ungrateful heathens who have no regard for human life and are never, ever held accountable for their actions by the oil corrupted United Nations.

3. though i am not a dove ;) i agree with arieh this time
we cannot behave like animals! what if HAMAS does terrible things and then they accuses us being the bad guys?
we should continue our aid to GAZA including free electricity and water we giving, because obviously their current government to busy with other matters to care for their people
we should continue - as we do always to permit the visits to the arab terrorists who're sitting in prison both by their relatives and the red cross
just because HAMAS is kidnapped and tortures our soldier (if he's even alive) we cannot be like them.

4. Of course not. That would be MORE collective punishment, which is a human rights violation and against international law and treaties. Not that those mean anything to Israel, but the answer to your question is no.

5. Blackmailing Hamas has been tried before, and failed.

6. More comments bud.
What's this Gilad thing?
A detox clinic or sumethin?
Need more input on that.Thx

7. Now I see why so many people do not like the way Jews think.
So, according to you it's OK to shoot a pregnant Palestinian mommy killing 2 in one shot but you want an idiot soldier back.

I don't think that's very smart.
bye bye

8. Stopping aid to Gaza is like removing fish from water.
Civilians who were injured in the war really need aid, and pausing them might kill many.

International aid should consider both cases, but pausing one from the sake of the other is not fair at all.

9. No.All the aid must be stopped not until Gilad is free,but until Hamas publicly announces that it drops its main goal of desruction Israel and extermintion of all Jews,as it is put in Hamas Charter.It´s the top idiocy to let aid reach someone who says he just needs some time to recdover ad then he wil kill you.
