Today, June 25th, marks the fourth year that Gilad Shalit has been held captive by Hamas. Throughout these years, Gilad was not given any visitation rights, even by the International Red Cross -- the most recent of these refusals was this Tuesday. His sole form of communication has been a recorded video message released last fall.
In addition, Hamas is using Gilad as a bargaining chip for the release of 1,000 Palestinian militants. Earlier this year, Hamas released an animated video with the intention of terrorizing the Israeli government and Gilad's family.
I normally don't make appeals on my blog, but I think that if I had to chose to do it for one cause, this would be it. So today, please just keep him in your thoughts today.
