Twitter users: Will you Tweet4Shalit? - SDRAM - 10-01-2012 12:27 AM
If you don't know what that is, go here:

or watch this vid (it's kind of long and rambly)

This is the summary:
Gilad Shalit, an Israeli soldier, was taken captive by militants on June 25 2006. He wasn't even 20 years old, and has been captive for over 3 years, with no access to family or health care, despite International Red Cross's requests. JIDF has started a campaign to spread word of him via Twitter.
It will be held August 26th 2009, which is 2 days before his 23rd birthday.
What you do is Tweet as often as possible using the hashtag (which is a tag used on twitter about a topic) #GiladShalit , in order to get him into the top 10 trending topics.
Despite how it sounds, this isn't political- because before he is an Israeli, before he is a Jew, Gilad Shalit is a human being who has been prisoner for more than 3 years, who just wants to go home, and who has people who miss him everyday.
So, are you going to Tweet4Shalit?

SURE!!

I will absolutely Tweet4Shalit!
As a parent, I can not imagine what his parents are going through trying to get their child back from people who are treating him poorly and allowing him no contact to the outside world. As a Jew, I feel sorrowful that he is not able to share in the joy of worshiping as part of a community, as I am able to. As a human being, it sickens me to know that we as humans do this kind of degradation to each other.
