Do we have any word of the Israeli soldiers who were captured?

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

I know this was the initial reason for Israel's actions. But I haven't heard anything more about them? Do they think they are all right? Do they think they have been moved to another country?

1. They were just the excuse

4. I was thinking the same thing

especially since I hadn't heard anything about these chaps' fate.

2. You think they were the "initial reason"? Really?

You don't think Israel was trying to find an excuse, any excuse?

If Israel really had those soldier's safety as the top concern, they wouldn't have started blowing up everything in sight. They would have started to work on a deal.

Who knows how the soldiers are now, they very well could have been killed by an Israeli 500 pounder in south Beirut.

5. Rabbi Michael Lerner

suggested that negotiation would have been the way to get the soldiers back when he was on Al Franken yesterday; unfortunately, I had a flurry of phone calls at work during his interview and I didn't hear if he said anything about the fate of the soldiers.

3. I heard a report yesterday thaat they were still alive.

I'm not positive what chanel it was on though. Probably CNN because I usually have it on in the background all day. dont believe they gave any extensive report.

6. Thank you

I really worry that these soldier's lives will be forfeit because of what has happened.
