Every Israeli - especially those directly dealing with captives - needs to see the movie "Proof of Life" about the kidnap and ransom trade. It offers many lessons, not least of which are that one must NEVER pay for a proof of life, and that sometimes there are no more deals to be had, and action is the only option.

Personally, I find it remarkable that to this day we don't even know if he is alive. Yet how can one negotiate when one doesn't even know what he's negotiating for?

We've pretty much taught them that we will pay similar prices for alive, dead, 10 year old bones, etc. So why should they prove anything to us?

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.
