Visit from our Central Shaliah

So this is a bit late, but on October 13th, Julian Resnick, the central Shaliah of Habonim Dror North America, came to visit the LOLZ household. While he was here we engaged in discussion about the release of Gilad Shalit, the Israeli soldier who was held captive in Gaza for a number of years. A number of questions were raised during our discussion:

- What has Gilad become a symbol of for Israel and the Jewish people?
- Is one soldier worth the release of so many terrorists?
- Should Israel be developing rehabilitation programs for the terrorists they capture in case they are released in the future, as is the case for the terrorists being released in return for Gilad?
- What are the repercussions of Gilad’s release for Israel?
Luckily Gilad was released October 18th alive. We can’t even imagine the repercussions if Hamas had returned him back to Israel in a casket like they did with another two Israeli soldiers a few years back.
