Gilad Shalit’s Book Read on YouTube To mark two years since he was kidnapped, a reading of Gilad Shalit’s book When the Shark and the Fish First Met is now on YouTube in an initiative of the Israeli Consulate in New York. In the three-minute video uploaded today, five fifth-grade students from New York read the book Shalit wrote at age eleven. The images of the children reading are interspersed with pictures from the book released in Israel. “Gilad was a boy our age when he wrote this story; if only we could write something so significant at this age. Today, no one knows where he is and he probably misses his parents,” said Leslie Ramirez, an eleven-year-old student who participated in the reading. “If the shark and fish can make peace, why can’t people?” The movie can be viewed at www.isrealli.org/shalit. Additional information about Gilad Shalit and his book are available for download at http://www.isrealli.org/extra/gilad.pdf. In addition, the Consulate has joined the initiatives on Facebook, in which users supporting the fight to free Shalit are asked to change their profile pictures to that of Gilad Shalit on Wednesday 25 June. A further initiative calls on users to change their status for the coming two days to “Waiting two years for Gilad Shalit.” Daniel Greenberg
