Noam Shalit has been attempting to get the leading Hamas newspaper to print a birthday letter to his son, captive Israel Defense Forces soldier Gilad Shalit, but the editor has refused to run it, according to an Israeli advocacy group for abducted soldiers.
The group said Noam Shalit had used Palestinian and Israeli mediators to ask the Gaza-based newspaper, Palestine, to run a personal letter ahead of his son's 21st birthday Tuesday - his second in captivity - but that the editor said he would not cooperate with Israelis.
I cannot imagine the torment these poor parents are suffering. Then I ask myself why the lights are still on and the water flowing in the Hamas Gaza Strip? Can someone not teach Olmert et al how to present an offer which Hamas cannot refuse?

Good question. If the palis want nothing to do with Israel, than we should oblige them, and stop providing gas, water, sewage treatment, and electricity to them, and simply seal off the Gaza checkpoints.
That should have been done back in 2000, when they launched their terrorist campaign, and we had another perfect chance in 2005, with the disengagement.
As for teaching Olmert, he won't learn until they come for him personally. The kapos never did believe that they were at risk, too...
