if he's out to murder more people? Was Olmert bribed by Hizbullah too? Or was it his friend Abbas or the UN that bribed him?

This man will murder other Jews. Under these circumstances he cannot be released else it makes the Olmert government complicit in murder

Then we will have sunk to a new low in amoral behavior. Freeing this monster is so morally repugnant you have to wonder what kind of leaders we have that could sink so low.

When are we ever going to learn.!!! That sub-human piece of "Sh++t", publically states he is going to try & cause more grief & tragedy to us, the moment he is released. So why not pre-emt his action & maybe save another family the heartbreak & suffering of the Haran family. Send him back to his "beloved master" in a box. Anyway it now seems that we will get our soldiers back in flag covered boxes. So why "reward" those dregs of humanity?????

And official "heart attack" and everything should be fine.

... and my vote goes to Lieberman!

Is far more morally repugnant. I choose the lesser evil of freeing this scum in exchange for our soldiers. Hopefully we will just kill him afterwards, like Yassin.

Why not let them go, but meanwhile inject them with a fatal disease that will take affect after we get back our boys, and that cannot be traced back to us. Science is so advanced,; isn't there something that can be used like this?

1. We should never negotiate with terrorists. They must never be allowed to claim "victory" - 2. Releasing terrorists is an incentive to further kidnappings. Are the future victims lives worth less than those already captured? 3. This man will kill again. Again, are the lives of future victims worth less than the two captives? 4. Our gov't. was extraordinarily inept in not demanding the return of the soldiers before agreeing to a ceasefire. As soon as we agreed to the ceasefire, we lost all leverage. We should have killed this monster long ago - that he may be released is the best argument for the death penalty for terrorism, as with Barghouti, for example. And don't think I don't have sympathy for your position - leaving our soldiers in the hands of Hezbollah is indeed immoral but other means must be found to pressure Hezbollah for their release.

everyone here is talking as if its isreal who are the ones being oppressed. this happens everyday in gaza, the loss of family members, and whole families at a time. Stop being hypocrites, calling us sub human, and stop feeling sorry for urselves.

terrorists then patriotic Jews in Israel need to ensure that these killers are not able to kill more Jews. They need to form paramillitary hit squads to assasinate terrorists as they are released

Kuntar should be released if it brings about the release of the Israeli captives. At that point, this neanderthal, with the Mossad's assistance, should be delivered to his 72 virgins without further delay. The world will be a better place without him in it.

He wrote: 4. Our gov't. was extraordinarily inept in not demanding the return of the soldiers before agreeing to a ceasefire." Right! "As soon as we agreed to the ceasefire, we lost all leverage. We should have killed this monster long ago - that he may be released is the best argument for the death penalty for terrorism.... And don't think I don't have sympathy for your position - leaving our soldiers in the hands of Hezbollah is indeed immoral but other means must be found to pressure Hezbollah for their release." Right.

This man should be given credit for his honesty.The only way out of this quagmire is through peace negotiations.Dig it?

Lamenting on missing chances may soothe your wounded pride,but fact is that you had no chance but to accept the ceasefire which lent your government an honourable exit from the war.Had you continued, you would have witnessed the end of your entity.

that way you'll know when he's near the border, send IAF after him

Not for what he did for which he may receive amnesty in the deal but for what he does subsequent to his release when he continues pursuant to his vow to Nasrallah. Maybe they can release him and shove some plastic explosives up his a#$. When he goes to the parade after returning to Lebanon and hugs Nasrallah, the explosives can be set off!

Assuming he has not got it already.

to avoid ever realesing scum of the earth like kuntar, a baby- killer cabk to the arms of his "master and commander,"imach shemo!

If Kuntar is released I see no reason to support Israel. I hope all Jews in Israel make Aliyah to the US.
