He was kidnapped by terrorists. Read Cross has not been allowed to visit him. Hamas just released a video warning they might slaughter the Israeli soldier.

Hamas released an animated film Sunday bearing a grisly message for Israel: If it doesn’t meet the Islamic militant group’s demands, an Israeli soldier it has held for nearly four years could return home in a coffin.
The short but sophisticated cartoon – which depicts Sgt. Gilad Shalit’s aging father wandering empty streets with a picture of his son – is the latest product of Hamas’ growing media machine.
The video was intended to pressure Israelis to accept demands to trade Shalit for about 1,000 Palestinian prisoners.
The father, Noam Shalit, called the film «psychological warfare».

My comment:
Hamas has kidnapped one Israeli soldier. He is held against International law, and even the Red Cross has not been allowed to inspect the IDF soldier.

The Nazi Propaganda Department used movies in a bid to show the immorality of the Jewish people prior to World War II. In a similar fashion, Hamas portray the Israeli government as immoral and useless.
The propaganda video is not mentioning that the Islamic terror organization demands the release of 1.000 Hamas prisoners for the one Israeli soldier in captivity. Many of these Islamic terrorists are cold blooded murderers, that have killed and slaughtered innocent Jewish civilians.
