GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip -A Hamas official says the German mediator seeking to clinch a prisoner swap between the militant group and Israel has entered Gaza.
The official said Wednesday that the mediator was delivering Israel's latest offer in a proposed deal to trade some 1,000 Palestinian prisoners for one Israeli soldier.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak to the media.
He said Gaza's Hamas rulers will consider the offer and forward it to the group's Syria-based leadership before the announcing a position.

Israel is a well crafted shell game of religion, race and state. Shell number one is Israel is a democratic nation. Only if you are Jewish and allowed to become a citizen can you vote. They are a minority in that country, most are Muslim Arabs. Everybody else within the borders is second class at best. The second shell is that they are a separate race as the chosen ones. Chosen for what is rather unclear as in all theocracies. They make up their own brand of racial supremacy. The third shell is where you have to be a member of their chosen religion under the control of your local Rabbi to have any voice whatsoever. Jews that object are proclaimed self hating. All dissention by anyone else causes them to whine their coined term ‘anti-Semitic’ or ‘remember the holocaust’. They do utilize the shell game to great advantage especially when bombing neighbors, robbing them, erecting walls, stealing their properties by calling them settlements and thumping their version of their bible. I for one am ashamed that we as Americans are forced to pay for them. Time to cut off their free welfare payments for which we get nothing in return. They don’t even pay taxes here.

Anybody who threatens the apocalypse if they don't get their own way is not interested in discussion or facts.

So drop the mask of civility.

Calm down everyone. Remember, peace on Earth, 'tis the season, etc. Tempers always flare in discussions of religion and politics. My suggestion is: let's start from the begining. You have two groups of people that claim the same to the same land. One (Jews) are easily validated as they have all the qualities of a uniqiue, a distinct people. These qualities include their own language, religion, customs, sense of history and political antecedent. On the other side you have a "people" ("Palestinians" ) that possess the same language as the rest of the Arab world, the same religion, and only found their political voice in the 1960's. They NEVER had a country. Their religious buildings stand ontop of Jewish sites and are only offended by the "occupation" by these same Jewish people and are perfectly content with the lion's share of Palestine being occupied and controled by the Hashemites in a place called Jordan. Please, someone help validate the "Palestinian." :)
