12 years since Gilad Shalit's release
On October 18, 2011 Gilad Shalit was released from captivity in Gaza, in exchange for 1027 Palestinian terrorists that were being held in Israeli prisons.
Today's war, 12 years later, has us finding that several of those terrorists released back then are involved in today's war, some in senior positions. Some have been killed since the war began.
Obviously the Shalits are not at fault for that. Gilad was held captive. he did not negotiate the deal. He isnt responsible for Israel's decision.
I am not sure what my point is. The timing of the anniversary is striking. I hope we learn or have since learned the lessons of how to do these types of arrangements if God forbid it is ever needed again.

I remember the day he was released - I was happy for him and his family, but I knew that it was a big mistake. I do hope that the lesson is learned.
