That sounds synical but I have found that no ploitician can be trusted. Though I am young (65) I am distrustful. I see the loss of life in Israel and wonder why mankind wants to waste the too. It is (I think) a spiritual war and few are recognizing it. From the east of America to the east coast of America (that includes you too) There is corruption, killings, thievery and quite simply no compassion nor concern by the elites that lead this world. We NEED the Messiah. HE is our only option and so few will turn to HIM and call out to HIM. That makes our plight senseless. If we could do better wouldn\'t we have \'by now\'?");

Thus, 1 Israeli prisoner of war is worth 100’s and 1000’s of terrorists.
