Did Gilad Shalit's family feel joy at seeing the video of him? The video is over two weeks old, and he makes no effort to hide that he's reading his statement.
And the Arab terrorists holding Shalit make no effort to hide their plans to capture more Israelis.
"Hours after Israel released 19 female Palestinian prisoners in exchange for a video proving captive IDF soldier Gilad Schalit was alive, Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal on Friday night threatened to capture more Israeli soldiers in order to win the release of all Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli prisons." complete articleOur Israeli Government is handling this all wrong, as usual.
According to the Jerusalem Post, Shalit will probably be released after the Christian new year:
"A prisoner swap with Hamas for the release of St.-Sgt. Gilad Schalit will likely take place after January but before the Palestinian elections, which are to be held by June, The Jerusalem Post learned on Thursday." complete article
That's a long way off. That turns this little performance into a dangerous and pathetic farce. Going back to the Torah lesson of today, the first day of Succot. Succot is for joy, at knowing that Gilad is alive. So, does that mean that he will only be released during Passover, the Festival of Freedom? The dates fit, according to the Jerusalem Post.

I am glad he is alive....
yes, but he should be home already
Yes, muse. Indeed.
I've studied that video and i think there's something very strange with the way in which he drops one side of the newspaper as well as his hand. Try it.
Also, the number 833 might give us a clue: http://www.biblewheel.com/gr/GR_833.asp
Not saying i'm right, just saying what i see.
Wishing for that time when freedom and joy fall on the same day,

I'm not watching this video. It's a prize for a) his family B) the 'militants' who have succeeded in setting a new standard for hostage negotiating, C) the rest of the Muslim world D) the Israeli godless media who choose their heroes E) the media editors who are letting Pollard die in prison.
The video is shame on us accepting 20th/21st century instant gratification over long-term benefit and deterrence and just another example from a growing number.
And any public analysis about any signs he might be sending endangers him into getting some beating or other deprivation in punishment.
a, interesting, but sometimes it's not worth reading too much into things
josh, you shouldn't be satisfied with a two week old video, but it's worth watching
Pretty ironic that Israel is publicly toying with bombing Iran and it can't rescue Shalit. I'm not the first to say this.
...instant gratification versus long-term benefit...
interesting
a, Rather superficial, like window shopping.
Go on then. Surpass Moshe who looked through the 'translucent pane'.
huh? I don't want to know what this is about.
me neither;
just reading my lines
Shikse, is that you?
Or do all anonymous commenters talk like shikses? :)
Hey Shy!
Yeah, i figured, who needs a useful unique identifier after all?
Maybe YOU do...but..
I don't.. :-)
It's a common courtesy.
Well, let's see how far you get with your 'common courtesy'. IRL.
Bye Shy :)
Doing just fine. Try it someday.
That's exactly what bothers me.
People who 'are doing just fine'.
REPENT.
I've pented over and over again but I'm still doing just fine.
Ah. Thinkin' twice.
Like me.
But we still gotta hate each other, of course.
Waaayyy to gooo, Shy!
