The title of this post is what is written on the flag in this picture. There's another that says "Gilad is still Alive." Both flags refer to a soldier, Gilad Shalit, who was kidnapped from his base near the border with Gaza. As of the day I wrote this, he's been in captivity for 1386 days (according to Haaretz Newspaper which keeps track down to the second).Many people have heard about Gilad, and there's a huge controversy regarding him. While people want him to return, others ask, "At what price?" The Israeli government would be dealing with Terrorists, freeing Terrorists, and possible setting a precedent for future kidnappings.
I'm not going to go into detail into what is the correct course of action. What I do what to touch upon is the fact that you see these flyers EVERYWHERE. One thing that has always impressed me about Israelis is the length they go for one another...
An story that is now somewhat ironic, that Gilad Shalit wrote when he was a little boy.
