Gilad Shalit arrives in Israel.
  Telegraph.co.uk (excerpts):  Israelis shocked at Egypt TV interview with Gilad Shalit minutes after his release. 
 Israeli officials criticized and Egyptian television interview with soldier Gilad Shalit minutes after Hamas militants freed him in a prisoner swap, saying the questioning was inappropriate and insensitive.  A gaunt, pale and uncomfortable looking Shalit appeared to struggle to speak at points during the appearance on Egyptian state TV, and his breathing was noticeably labored as he awkwardly answered questions.  The footage along with an earlier video showing Shalit being transferred to Egypt, where the first images seen of the soldier after more than five years in Hamas captivity.  Hamas militants were in the area as the interview was being set up.  One of them stood behind Shalit's chair, wearing a black face mask, a green headband of the Qassam brigades - Hamas' military wing and filming with a video camera in his hand.  "You have known what it is like to be in captivity," interviewer Shahira Amin said to Shalit.  "There are more than 4,000 Palestinians in Israeli jails.  Will you help campaign for their release?"  she asked in English.  Shalit took a long pause before answering.  "What has the experience brought you?  Has it made you stronger?" she asked at another point.  Brushing aside the fact that Hamas had barred anyone from visiting Shalit, she asked why Shalit only gave one interview while held captive.  Shalit gasped for air, the handler suggested halting the interview because Shalit was not feeling well and he couldn't answer the question.  Ms. Amin insisted Shalit had not been coerced to give the interview.  An Israeli official questioned the ethics of the journalists involved.  "We are all shocked that a so-called interview was forced on Shalit before he could even talk to his family or set foot on Israeli soil," the official said.  Israeli security officials told Israeli Ynet news the interview was a violation of the deal for Shalit's release.  The presenter even tried to get Shalit to credit the Egyptians, asking, "It was the Egyptian national security that mediated your release.  There were previous failed mediation efforts, including one by the Germans.  Why do you think this time the round of mediation was a success?"  An ashen-faced Shalit answered a range of questions on his captivity and what he thought of the 1,027 Palestinian prisoners released for his freedom.  He was then handed over to Israeli officials and only then given a medical examination, where doctors determined he showed signs of malnutrition and lack of exposure to sunlight.  He called his family shortly afterward.  

Commentary:  This interviewer, Shahira Amin, is obviously an unconscionable she-devil right out of the pits of hell, in my opinion.  I did not provide Shalit's response to her questions in this article, because he was obviously under duress - so the idiotic interview doesn't count!  It was a damnable attempt to distress the young soldier, who had already suffered immense, unimaginable torture for over five years in a dark Hamas terrorist's cell, as well as his family and countrymen who were watching.  Amin said the interview wasn't forced; but while still in the hands of your torturers and their Egyptian friends, would you decline an interview?  How utterly stupid can this woman get?  In another report, Shalit was said to have fainted during the helicopter ride to Tel Aviv.  It was obvious by looking at him, that he was shaky, frail and malnourished, sometimes barely standing, and he had difficulty negotiating stairs.  "...nothing is pure to those that are defiled (evil) and unbelieving, but even their mind and conscience is defiled" Titus 1:15.  *You can watch Gilad Shalit's "so-called" interview on the News Videos page of this site.  If you have ever been starved, distressed and faint, you can see the signs of distress and labored breathing in Gilad Shalit.
