Hamas sent the Gilad Shalit video to Israel today and it was heartbreaking to watch. This young boy has unmatched courage and even in the video under the direst of circumstances after being held away from his family and home for three years, he still maintains his sense of humour. You can see him at the beginning of the video with a small smile as if he's almost embarrassed at the spectacle and he laughs a little at the mention of the mujaheddin before returning to seriousness.
I believe everybody wants this boy to be returned to his home. He's such an innocent. He shouldn't have to endure this. But at least he seems to have the coping tools to survive. He should only be brought home safely so that he doesn't need to test the longevity of those coping skills any longer.
Of course,realistically, to Hamas the video was more psychological warfare, but to Gilad's family it was the greatest gift.

I was happy to read that he was alive and looking to be in good health. I think Gilad is more valuable to these guys alive than dead. But I am tired of them using him as a pawn. Set him free!!!
