Well the Gilad Shalit case gives that image to the world in my opinion. Make the math, over 1030 criminals including people who have made major terrorist attacks on Israel for a single man.
Would US ever give over thousand terrorists, child-killers and assorted violent fanatics to save one of their soldiers? Nevermind giving them straight to a very well known terrorist organization? No. Never.
What Hamas learns from this is that they can kidnap 1 man more and this time ask Israel to release all palestinian prisoners. What next? Israel will give a part of their land for kidnapped person?
While I understand the feelings towards 1 soldier, people shouldn't forget that there's tons of Israelis who lost their relatives in sick and heartless attacks made by these men that are now being transferred to freedom.
I have no idea how 2/3 of Israelis would support this.
