Gilad Shalit


I just felt the need to post a short blog to keep Gilad Shalit fresh in ever ones mind.

Gilad Shalit, a 20 yr old Israeli soldier, has been held hostage since 2006 June 25. There is no sign of his imminent release, but he is reported to be alive and in reasonable health.

It saddens me that someone 10 years my junior is in the situation he is in. He is stuck in the middle of a seemingly hopeless conflict that I am privileged enough to be so far away from.
