Benjamin Netanyahu is certainly no Moses, who was able to free 600,000 Jews from slavery in Egypt--without an F-16, a Merkava tank or an Uzi. Prime Minister Netanyahu has the 4th strongest army in the world at his disposal, and cannot get one little Jewish guy out of captivity from Gaza, Egypt.

No matter what Benjamin Netanyahu tells the media, there is no real commitment to bringing Gilad Schalit home. It looks like the Israeli prime minister has fallen into the same trap as the American president. The recent Libyan crisis was a divine gift of history, where the West and Obama could have solved the current energy crisis, Islamic radicalism and the Arab-Israeli conflict all at once (see proof of this in my next article).

And so it goes in the latest unprovoked attack by Gaza's Hamas terrorist government, which sent more than 140 rockets and mortar shells into Israel, including a new Russian made laser-guided anti-tank missile--hitting a school bus and seriously injuring 16 year old Daniel Viflic, along with another passenger.
 
Wake up Bibi--you now have the much needed excuse to reunite Gilad with his parents and minimize future Fogel incidents. Instead, you have chosen the liberal/leftist response of the Obama administration, while at the same time losing an amazing opportunity to solve several of Israel's major problems. Passover means "freedom" for Jews; and you Bibi, personally hold Schalit's freedom in your hands.

The simple formula for the release of Schalit comes down to 3 plagues which Israel could foist on Gaza: 
 
First Plague--"terrorist blood"--Israel must announce immediately that strikes against Gaza military targets will continue every day until Schalit is released, which include government targets and public facilities. 
 
Second Plague--"darkness on fun"--Beginning tomorrow night and continuing each night thereafter, when Gazans are asleep--a mall, a theatre, a tv station or a shopping center will be destroyed. This will have both economic and social consequences.
 
Third Plague--"smiting of the evil leaders"--Israel will Pass-over the homes of ordinary Gaza civilians and only target political and military leaders and their families in their beds, in their offices and in their cars. We know who you are and where you are--so watch out Ismail Haniyah, Mahmoud Zahar, Khalil al-Hayya and all the rest--and please do not go crying to the UN, because you have been forewarned. 
 
These plagues will continue until Gilad Schalit is released, just like the Jews were permitted to leave by Pharaoh-- who caved in and eventually "Let My People Go." If Netanyahu has lost his 20th century  nerve, perhaps he should turn over the reins to the new 21st century Bibi--Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman who seems to have a much better understanding of the enemy and clearly understands the need to destroy evil.

Of course Turkey, the Arab League and the UN are already kvetching about "disproportionate force." You want to see disproportionate force--check out the bombing of Dresden, or Berlin or Hiroshima. It was ONLY disproportionate force that ended Word War II. Even NATO has just used disproportionate force over Libya--where no NATO nation was attacked.

Now the Arab League is talking about "no fly zones" over Gaza. I mean, is that a joke--a no fly zone over a terrorist state. Imagine a no fly zone over Nazi Germany. Abbas is screaming about Israel's response to the rockets over Ashkelon. Imagine when Israel has to protect itself from rockets coming from Abbas' West Bank.
 
The Hamas government, whose charter and mission is the destruction of the Jewish state, must learn the ultimate lesson of the Haggadah--Gilad Schalit goes free, or you will all drown, just like your brothers 3500 years ago. That is the message and lesson of Passover 2011.
