Article #4: Why I Can’t Change My Facebook Picture to Shalit’s

Link to Article

From the blog titled “Israel and The Sin of Expulsion: The Implications and Consequences of Expulsion for the Jewish People”

The writer has a problem with Shalit’s pictures being posted on Facebook, Myspace and other social networking sites because of the perception that the grassroots movement is connected to what the Israeli government is doing to get Shalit back. The author questions the effort and urgency put forth to get this soldier and others back. And then wonders, if there was no urgency at first, why return such dangerous prisoners in exchange for what potentially may be body bags.

In all, this author’s refusal to post Gilad Shalit’s picture on Facebook as his own is a protest against his government.
