The People Want a New Shalit

We posted recently about how Israel agreed to exchange 1000 Arab prisoners for 1 IDF soldier named Gilad Shalit.

Last night the top story on the BBC News was how Gaza was preparing a huge parade, party and celebration for the great deal they got for simply kidnapping one IDF soldier.

Today we get this news about the chant rising up in Gaza;

West Bank residents celebrate Schalit prisoner swap; families wave flags, chant "The people want a new Schalit"; clashes break out in Betunia.

Earlier, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas hailed the release of 477 prisoners as part of the deal to release Gilad Schalit as a victory for the Palestinian people.

During a rally in Ramallah, Abbas said that Palestinians around the world were watching as the prisoners we being released. "Dear brothers and sisters, your families in Palestinian territories and around the world are looking at you now and are happy that you are being released," Abbas said. "I ask Allah to forgive these martyrs."

Well there's a surprise.....they want a new Shalit to trade for ANOTHER 1000 Arab prisoners!

As you catch the mood in Gaza, you end up having no doubt in your mind that these folks are going to use this euphoria to launch new attacks against Israel?  Many in the Arab/Muslim world are getting the extreme idea that they are gathering momentum and that nothing is going to stop them from rising to the top of the world...and on that march to the top Israel and the USA will fall away.

Someone told me that Egypt was working out their own deal for 80 prisoners for one Israeli spy.

Again, I have to wonder.....is Israel bringing home all their military people because they are getting ready to light up the whole Arab world...including the militants they just released from prison?  Their backs are against the wall, and they are increasingly isolated from having any true friends....all it might take is for a few more missiles to come from Gaza, Hezbollah, Egypt, Syria....and Israel could snap.
