Someone please tell me we're not going to ransom this moron

Remember Ilan Grapel, the American-Israeli who was arrested on the streets of Cairo, for whom both the US and Israel paid ransom a little over a year ago? Well, Grapel was just a fool. This guy, who was arrested trying to cross from Egypt to Gaza at the end of last week, is worse.

Egyptian officials announced Monday evening that 25-year-old Israeli Andrei Pashnichikov, who has been in an Egyptian jail since Friday, crossed the Israel-Sinai border illegally and tried to sneak from Sinai into Gaza to help Palestinian-Arabs fighting against Israel.

Please tell me we're not going to pay anything to get this guy back. Let him stay in Egypt or Gaza. Maybe he can move in with Amira Hass or something.

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.
