It's about time

Gilad Shalit is an israeli soldier that was kidnapped on June 25, 2006. When he was kidnapped he was 20 years old, and now he is 23 years old and still being kept imprisoned by the Hamas terror organization in Gaza.

The family of Gilad Shalit has suffered for too long, their pain is beyond undarstanding and they are desperate to bring him back .This issue could have been solved a long time ago if the government seriously tried to make a deal with the Hamas and bring Gilad back. The government must do whaterver it can to make sure that its citizens are safe and if they're not safe, it's the governemt's duty to make them safe even if the price is high.

The Gilad Shalit's issue also causes a decrease in the citizens' ability to trust the government's will to protect and serve. People don't want to go to the army anymore because they're afraid that if they're captured, the government just won't work hard enough to bring them back and that their lives are going to be ruined.

To conclude, Gilad has suffered a lot and we can just imagine how bad he feels in that place where he's being kept. The government should just pay the price to release him and get this over with. Gilad and his family aren't the only ones suffering from that situation, Israel suffers too.
