We are gathering signatures for an international petition directed to the International Committee of the Red Cross, Amnesty International, and the United Nations, letting them know that we have not forgotten that Staff Sergeant Gilad Shalit has been held captive by Hamas in Gaza for exactly FOUR LONG YEARS. WE DEMAND THAT GILAD SHALIT BE RELEASED NOW! FOUR YEARS IS TOO LONG! Until he is released, what we are asking for is basic and simple: THAT HAMAS ABIDE BY THE RULES OF THE THIRD GENEVA CONVENTION. WE ARE ASKING FOR: One Conversation. One Doctor. One Visit by the International Committee of the Red Cross. And, if possible, One Hug, on behalf of his brothers and sisters from around the world who want to let him know that we have not forgotten his plight and that we stand with him. Please read the following letter and sign the petition below. You can also forward this petition to your contacts by clicking on the share button above. Your signature will be added to thousands collected all over the world. Your name will be visible on our list after you submit your signature, unless you uncheck the box title "Display my name" below. Dear Sir or Madam, Four years ago, on June 25, 2006, Israel Defense Forces Staff Sergeant Gilad Shalit was abducted by Hamas terrorists and taken to Gaza, where he has remained in cruel captivity ever since. For four years, Hamas, backed by Iran, has kept Gilad in total isolation, preventing him from having almost any communication with the outside world. Hamas has repeatedly denied Gilad even one visit by a humanitarian group, including the International Committee of the Red Cross, to provide him with proper medical attention. This is in direct violation of the Third Geneva Convention. I call upon you to demand that Hamas abide by international humanitarian law and afford Gilad Shalit his rights to proper medical care and regular visitation by a neutral party that can ensure his well-being. Moreover, I ask that Gilad be afforded the right of communication with his family and the outside world, and I ask for the immediate end to his inhumane treatment. I also ask that Gilad be returned safely and in good health to his home and family in Israel as soon as possible. Thank you for your immediate attention to this critical matter, Your Signature, Click here to sign the petition. *Make sure you forward this petition to your friends.     ps. BULLDOZER DEMONSTRATION AGAINST PLANS TO DESTROY YITZHAR YESHIVA. NY, MONDAY, JUNE 28, NOON-2 P.M., ISRAELI CONSULATE, 2ND AVE. & 42ND ST.   To dramatize the decision to destroy a "settlement" Yeshiva in view of Administration policies delegitimizing half a million Israelis termed "settlers", a  flat-truck and bulldozer will be driven past the Israeli Consulate and the United Nations building. BULL-DOZING Jewish schools to appease Israel's enemies defies reason and morality. Those who wish may walk along the sidewalk, following the bulldozer and spreading the message that unjust demolition decrees must be revoked.
