I stumbled upon this article and found it semi-relevant and interesting to our class. The article was found on yahoo news and is about the Israel-Hamas prisoner swap. The deal is to exchange hundereds of jailed Palestinians for an Israeli soldier who is currently being held in the Gaza Strip.
Israel has agreed to exchange the soldier Gilad Shalit for about 160 prisoners whose release has been vetoed before. Gilad Shalit was captured by Hamas gunmen who tunneled and invaded Israel from Gaza in 2006.

That was really interesting, and it surprised me how much these people would do for this single man. It really shows how important he is to the Israeli people.
ReplyDeleteIt also says something about how many Palestinians the Israeli's have locked up. I wonder how much of a case or evidence they have against them...
