Hamas Admits They Kidnapped Shalit

Hamas, the Islamic terrorist group that seeks Israel's destruction, all but admits that they were the ones behind the attack killing two Israeli soldiers and the capture of Gilad Shalit. They're the ones who are making the lists of prisoners to be used in a swap.

Hamas is the group holding Shalit's fate in their hands and demanding all kinds of concessions and prisoners released from Israeli prisons including leading convicted terrorists like Marwan Barghouti. They're the ones who assembled a list of terorrists who are serving long sentences to secure their release.

The world simply shrugs its shoulders at such pronouncements. They'll force Israel to make concessions to a terrorist group that is fully dedicated to Israel's destruction.

Israel, for its part, has an elected leadership that appears willing to go forward with the charade of a prisoner release, despite the grave and lasting harm it would do to Israeli national security.

Instead of taking Hamas to task and using military force to eliminate this existential threat to Israel's national security, Israel is appeasing and emboldening this enemy.
