I think you do the Israelis a dis-service - wouldn't they rather be taking a leaf out of Moses' play book - he massacred entire villages after they surrendered (if we believe the Bible to be accurate, as you do).
As I've stated before, you don't have issues with white Jewish terrorists killing Muslims and join those who venerate Goldstein in refusing to condemn him. Therefore you are being consistent by not condemning Israeli kidnappings of women, children, parliamentarians etc - but I'm sure you'd condemn the hostage taking of one Israeli soldier.
Now what was that quote from Jesus again.....?
Matthew 7:5 - You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye

It would seem that Israel is taking a lfeaf from Muhammad's play book.
So, where's the beef?

'administrative detention'
Administrative detention is allowed under international law.

Right, close to 90% of inmates in Palestinian jails didn't have a trial...how come we never hear you complain about that?
Do you also have the most popular Gazan ringtone? Where you can hear the mother of Shalit begging and crying for her son?
Wouldn't you agree Hamas needs to give access to Shalit for the Red Cross?

It looks like the Israelis are finally going to sieze the offer made when their soldier was captured in June 2006 and exchange him for some of the hostages they hold:
Israel is one of the few regimes in the world that have a hostage taking policy - including holding parliamentarians (and women and children) as hostage. Note that 'administrative detention' is a euphemism for kidnapping and keeping hostage - the people are not held on any charges and haven't committed any crimes (otherwise they would be charged).
Quote:
Israel holds about 10,000 Palestinian prisoners in jail on security grounds - a major bone of contention with the Palestinians.
Earlier this month, several Hamas MPs were freed without charge after the 40-month period of their administrative detention expired. Fifteen Hamas MPs and two from Fatah remain in detention.
