| Israel warns: free soldier or PM dies |
| 2006-06-30 |
| Israel last night threatened to assassinate Palestinian Prime Minister Ismael Haniyeh if Hamas militants did not release a captured Israeli soldier unharmed. The unprecedented warning was delivered to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in a letter as Israel debated a deal offered by Hamas to free Corporal Gilad Shalit. It came as Israeli military officials readied a second invasion force for a huge offensive into Gaza. Hamas's Gaza-based political leaders, including Mr Haniyeh, had already gone into hiding. |

| #15 Kill the PM when the time comes due - don't promise then backtrack. I'd target his daughter's bed - that's where he's likely hiding, Paleo Islamic Hero™ that he is. I've had post-late-nite-mexican-food-road-trip shits with more courage than these cowards |

| #11 CNN says an Israeli television station interviewed a doctor who said he checked over Cpl Shalit in captivity, but the report was unconfirmed (presumably meaning the doctor's statement). Drudge has the link. |

| #10 I fear Shalit is long dead, or Hamas would have returned him already. They've offered no "sign of life" since the kidnapping. I imagine they're sitting around saying "Shit, he's dead and giving back the corpse will probably just piss off the Israelis even more.... what the #$%^ do we do now?" |

| #9 Too bad they didn't put a time limit on it. "Free our soldier within 24 hours or your PM dies, no matter what." Actually, barring a miracle, I expect that both will be dead in a few days anyway. I will be sorry for the loss of Gilad Shalit. |

| #8 Now that Gaza is more or less a state, it's appropriate to hold the head of government (the PM) responsible. Consider this offensive as Government 101 lessons. |

| #6 Woah! The Israelis are cutting out the middleman and going to the top in negotiations. Good. The Paleos have approved or at least condoned this kidnapping action. The PM is responsible. If the IDF takes out the PM, then the next target is the next PM. Lather, rinse, repeat. About time Israel gets tough. Stand by for seething™ and MSM enabling. Stay the course. |

| #5 How about a little negotiating, Nimble? Free market price? First bowl is discounted? Ismael can run but he can't hide from the Orkin man! |

| #3 NOPE! Right now they are building a monument to the "almost dead" Ismael Haniyeh. The Palos latest martyr. These people are too stupid to get it. |

| #2 Hmmm, do you think the Paleos will get the idea that the Israelis are serious this time? |
