    Israeli activists calling for the release of captured Israeli soldier Gilad Schalit demonstrate outside the Jerusalem International Convention Center ahead of a planned speech by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in Jerusalem, Thursday, June 23, 2011. The International Committee of the Red Cross appealed to Palestinian armed groups on Thursday to prove an Israeli soldier captured five years ago is alive. Schalit was captured June 25, 2006, by Hamas-linked militants in a cross-border raid.

    Benjamin Netanyahu did not offer many details. He told a conference, “I stopped that absurd procedure whereby terrorists in Israeli prisons who murdered innocent people register for academic studies. … There won’t be M.A. students for murder or doctoral candidates for terror.”

    Earlier Thursday, the International Committee of the Red Cross asked to visit Sgt. Gilad Schalit, who has been held captive by Hamas-linked militants for five years.

    Hamas rejected the appeal.

    Denial of accredited accademia only implies that terrorist are being afforded more opportunities at no cost to them, than many would have the abilty to obtain in their country of origin.

    Sad to say this, but it raises suspicions in mind as to whether Shalit is still among the living….I hope my suspicions are wrong
