Gilad Shalit: 900 days in a Gaza Prison -Leslie J. Sacks
Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit was kidnapped on June 25, 2006 by Hamas. He has been a pawn ever since: Hamas demands the release of over 1,400 murderers, terrorists and the like for Shalit’s return, a price that is clearly too dear for Israel to consider.
A series of [Hamas supporting] boats [pictured above], stocked with reporters and presumed medical and food supplies have plied the waters of the Gaza coast, hoping to provoke a strong Israeli reaction [and media attention].
Shalit’s family should take a page from Hamas’ propaganda machine. The Shalits should charter a boat and sail into Gaza, with a horde of journalists and videographers, to demand the release of Gilad. They should call loudly to meet with Hamas, with the UN representatives in Gaza, as well as with all the various Gaza clan leaders. Whether ignored or imprisoned, they would inspire the world’s sympathy—no jail could long hold the pleading parents of young Gilad Shalit.

Either way, a propaganda coup. Well worthy of consideration, no?
