Gaza residents should be treated the same way Gilad Shalit is being treated

Palestinian students residing in the Gaza Strip have been bitterly complaining as of late that the State of Israel does not allow them to leave the Strip and head for studies abroad, therefore causing them to miss a whole school year.

These miserable students were of course immediately elicited the support of the education fans amongst us. These Israelis, being the righteous souls that they are, somehow fail to understand how it could be that the “People of the Book,” the Jews, are depriving Palestinian students of the possibility to acquire education.

In fact, someone even argued that by preventing them from acquiring education, Israel will be pushing these students into Hamas’ arms – as if before this ban on leaving to study abroad, the students in the Gaza Strip were all members of the Palestinian vegan association.

These students want education? Well, we should give them the opportunity to acquire education just in line with the way they are allowing abducted IDF soldier Gilad Shalit to acquire education. We should also embark on the release of Palestinian prisoners just in line with the way they have been releasing Shalit.

If Gilad Shalit is being held in a small prison, then the Palestinians shall be held in a large prison. And if Gilad has no idea when or even if he will ever be released, the Palestinians too should have no idea when or if they will ever be liberated.

Indeed, this is the kind of gesture we should be making for Gilad Shalit.

Anyone here agree with this crud?

1. Agree? No. Ugh.

I doubt that anyone here would agree with that piece of rabble-rousing racist crap.

2. Oh yeah, let's wallow in violence and injustice.

This seems like a recipe for a race to the bottom in terms of conduct. Everyone must try to be as bad as the worst of us.

3. Eye for an eye?

Besides the obvious "leaving us blind" sounds more 1.5 million eyes for an eye. Extremists on both sides try to "justify" each other.

4. Wow, those students are the ones who abducted Gilad Shalit?

In that case, might as well just kill 'em all.
