Olmert stated that Shalit was alive when asked by HAMAS to release some women and children held without trial in Israeli prisons.
You want proof Shalit is alive, then do the deal. Personally I believe Israel prefers Shalit to be held by HAMAS because they do not want the Quartet to normalise relations with HAMAS.
For Netanyahu Shalit is expendable in the pursuit of Lebensraum to the East. HAMAS has given a list of 450 prisoners for two years they have not wavered even during the mass slaughter of Cast Lead.
The deal is there to be done. The ball is firmly in Israeli politicians court, and if the Israeli people want him home then they will tell the politicians who serve him that. |
