Adding insult to injury
A 'Palestinian' report indicates that Hamas is demanding the release of the body of one of Gilad Shalit's abductors as part of the 'terrorists for Gilad' exchange that is likely to happen over the next few days. The family of a Palestinian fighter killed in the operation that captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit said on Monday that it wants his body to be returned in a potential prisoner exchange.I'd bury the body in pigskin.
Speaking on behalf of the Farwana family, Abdul Nasser Farwana, himself a former prisoner, urged Shalits captors to demand the return of the remains of Muhammad Farwana, who was killed during the 25 June 2006 raid on a military position near the Kerem Shalom crossing.
The call came amid news reports that Israel and Palestinian factions led by Hamas could be getting closer to a deal. The captors are insisting on the release of some 1,000 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for Shalit.
Muhammad Farwana, 23, was a member of the Army of Islam, one of the factions that participated in the 2006 raid, which they dubbed Operation Scattered Illusions.
Abdul Nasser Farwana said that during the operation, his cousin was wounded, and chose to stay and cover the other militants who escaped back to Gaza with Shalit. He later died, and the Israeli government still holds the body.
He added that the family wants to recover the body and bury it according to Islamic tradition.

Israel should say the following...
We will trade ONE Israeli For ONE arab...
UNless you actually believe that Israel lives are infact MORE valuable than arab lives?
Release OUR Corporal and we will release ONE of your Corporals...
IF you refuse, ALL Hamas leadership will be treated as war criminals and be treated in the arab tradition of assassination
(time for Israel to grow a pair of balls... what will the world say and do? condemn israel of course....
so what?)
Israel should execute them and then give Hamas a "choice" between releasing Shalit and facing outright war if he is killed in retaliation. I don't see the dilemma. Israel's government is run by a bunch of supine dhimmis.
