Dear President Bush,

One year ago, three Israeli soldiers were kidnapped by Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists. Efforts to free them have been in vain; even the International Red Cross has not been able to see the abducted.

Today, Israel has the opportunity to call for the return of one of those soldiers, Gilad Shalit, in exchange for
250 terrorists. It has been publicized that your administration is pressuring Israel to release those terrorists with disregard for Shalit' s possible return.

In other words, Mr. Bush, you are putting the 'bolstering' of Mr. Abbas - a man whose history has shown involvement in terrorism - as more important than the freedom of an ailing 20-year-old who deserves to be returned to his family and country!!

THE WORLDWIDE ENEMY OF FREEDOM AND MORALITY IS BOLSTERED BY SUCH COWARDICE ON THE PART OF A GREAT COUNTRY LIKE THE U.S. AND WILL ENDANGER US IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE OF SUCH ACTIONS. THIS IS UNCONSCIONABLE!!! I URGE THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT
TO TAKE THE MORAL HIGH GROUND AND STAND WITH ISRAEL IN DEMANDING THE RELEASE OF THE KIDNAPPED SOLDIER, GILAD SHALIT!!

Sincerely,
Hannah
