About Me
- Name: Carl in Jerusalem
- Location: Jerusalem, Israel
I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004. You can contact me at: IsraelMatzav at gmail dot com

Same here. Look - we all want Gilad Shalit returned home to Israel. It should be clear Hamas has no intention of releasing him and if they do, he will likely return home in a coffin. The terrorists cannot be trusted to keep and fulfill a simple agreement on a humamitarian matter. And Shalit's freedom is not a matter for bargaining or negotiation - and should not be.
