France and Germany raise the stakes for Shalit
Someone please tell me that the Israeli government is not going to be stupid enough to play along with this. France and Germany are offering Hamas new incentives to free kidnapped soldier Gilad Schalit, Channel Two reported on Saturday.You got that? We send them 1,000 terrorists, and they send us Shalit followed by 1,000 suicide bombers coming through the newly-opened crossings with Gaza. And then the Germans and the French recognize the Hamas 'government' in Gaza and urge the rest of the EU to do the same.
As part of the initiative France and Germany are offering Hamas extra incentives in addition to the release of approximately 1,000 Palestinian prisoners. These incentives include easing restrictions on Gaza's border crossings as well as de facto recognition of the Hamas government in Gaza which would allow for European investment in the territory. France and Germany are working with Egypt on the deal, according to the report.
The Israeli government refused to respond to the report.
And why is France getting involved with this? Gilad Shalit and his parents also hold French citizenship (they're dual citizens just like I am a dual citizen of the US).
Earlier in June, Noam and Aviva Schalit appealed to the French judicial system to hold Hamas, including its Damascus-based leader Khaled Mashaal, responsible for kidnapping their son Gilad and keeping him hostage in Gaza for the past five years.You got it. France doesn't want to have to suffer the embarrassment of issuing an arrest warrant for their good friend Khaled Meshaal.
If their legal effort in France is successful, arrest warrants could be issued against members of Hamas, including Mashaal. A suit can be filed in France due to Schalit's dual citizenship.
What could go wrong?

Carl, Arutz Sheva is reporting the French and German sweeteners were already a a part of the package that the Hamas suicide rocketeer brigades rejected, so go figure.

Yup. If the Stupid Jews go along with this idiotic proposal, they have no moral right to complain about future victims of terrorism or arguing against negotiations with Hamas.
Shalit's release isn't worth it - either of these things.
What could go wrong indeed
