“What happens after the next soldier is kidnapped?”

Bosch Fawstin

Behind the scenes: How the Schalit deal came about   "For now, the entire defense establishment is focused on implementing the deal and getting Schalit home. But after he returns to his family in Mizpe Hila, the tough questions will need to be asked: How come Israel failed for five years to create a viable military option to release him from Gaza, or other means of leverage over Hamas that could have forced it to agree to this deal earlier than now.

"Israel will also have to ask itself what may the toughest question of all: What happens next time? What happens after the next soldier is kidnapped?" 

 Via Legal Insurrection which adds this perspective: ...."But if reports of some of the names included on the list are true, I also can’t help thinking about the families who lost loved ones in restaurants, night clubs, buses, and stores, seeing the killers of their children set free to what is sure to be a celebratory homecoming. Family members of those killed in the notorious Sbarro Pizza bombing (which was celebrated by Palestinian university students) already have petitioned the Israeli Supreme Court to try to stop the release."
