I can't believe that Israel is going to release this piece of drek! He's openly stated that if released, he's going straight back to Nasrallah (another piece of drek) to actively fight against Israel. Come on Israel....are you really that stupid! This bastard should have joined his 72 virgins a long time ago, although G-d only knows what they did to deserve him!

before he murders more Jewish children.

Every decent human cares deeply about the kidnapped soldiers. However, releasing this psychopathic monster will only cause more grief for Israel and the Jewish people. Kuntar will continue to kill innocent men, women and children if he is released. Imagine if Ted Bundy had been released in exchange for a hostage. There is no simple solution for this plague of jihad. The only way that terrorists will stop killing is if they are killed.

He just gave the Mossad a free pass. Once he steps out of his cell, the clock starts ticking.

Shoot him on the spot like an animal that he is...

This murderer deserves death. Why has Israel paid for him to live in jail all these years? Eurabia/Israel has it wrong. Death penalty is correct punishment. At least Texas has it right.

Dear Mossad, Please put a GPS tracking chip in appendix of every terrorist that is released.... watch them closely, and when they return to their murderous ways, do your magic, and give them accute "appendicitis". Love, Shooki

"1. We should never negotiate with terrorists. They must never be allowed to claim "victory" - " I can think of plenty of good reasons against negotiation with terrorists (incidentally, you list one of them which I will get to), but this is not one of them. The Arabs have always had an extraordinary ability to spin political events as "victories". Consider the 1973 war in which the Egyptian army was surrounded, Sharon and his tanks had a clear path to Cairo, and yet within hours of the UNSC ceasefire, Egypt was declaring victory. This is not dissimilar to the Second Lebaon War, when one consider that Hezbollah's "divine victory" consisted of little more than being able to withstand destruction, but having achieved no substantial military victory. My point is, prisoners or not prisoners, the Arabs have "won", just like they "win" every time. It makes no difference in this respect. "2. Releasing terrorists is an incentive to further kidnappings. Are the future victims lives worth less than those already captured? " This is not the first time we have made prisoner exchanges with terrorist groups, nor, I fear, will it be the last. I do not deny that there is a serious problem with the message these prisoner exchanges send to our enemies. It may, indeed, be true that these prisoner exchanges do provide incentives for further kidnappings. However, in your considerations you have failed to take account of only the message we send to our enemies, and not the message we send to our own people. A regular 18 year old Israeli boy, preparing for his service in the army, sits at home right now and wonders, "If I am captured, will my government ensure my release?" If we follow your proposal, the answer we must give this boy, and the tens of thousands of boys his age enlisting in the army, is a resounding 'no.' No - we cannot guarantee your safe return. If you are captured, you will be abandoned. I need not explain to you the consequences that such precedents will have on Israeli troop morale, not to mention on public trust in the government and the army. These are two institutions which we cannot afford to jeopardize. Thus, in my opinion, our commitment to our own boys and girls serving in the army, and to our state, must take precedence over the message of weakness which we may be projecting to our enemies. "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. " The ceasefire was imposed upon us - our government never had a say. "means must be found to pressure Hezbollah for their release. " The current situation in the Middle-East doesn't exactly place us in a position to be making bold demands, unfortunately. Short of declaring a new war (which, of course, is impossible and impractical) I see no way in which we could effectively pressure Hezbollah.

He broke into the apartment of the Haran family before police reinforcements had arrived. The militants took twenty-eight-year old Danny Haran hostage along with his four-year-old daughter, Einat. The mother, Smadar Haran, was able to hide in a crawl space above the bedroom with her two-year-old daughter Yael, and a neighbour After taking the hostages, Kuntar's group took Danny and Einat down to the beach, where a shootout with Israeli policemen and soldiers erupted. Samir Kuntar shot the father, Danny, at close range in front of his daughter in the back and drowned him in the sea to ensure he was dead. Next, he smashed the four year old girl's head, Einat, on beach rocks and crushed her skull with the butt of his rifle. Back in the crawl space, 2-year-old Yael Haran was accidentally suffocated to death by her mother's attempts to quiet her whimpering from revealing their hideout, so that they would not be found by Kuntar's group.

According to Smadar Haran, her last memories of Danny and Einat, that day, were when they were being led away at gun point by Kuntar. She could hear from her closet space Danny telling Einat, "Don't be scared, my baby, it will be alright" and Einat replied to him in her little voice, "Dad, where is Mommy? I want Mommy." Smadar's last memory of her 2-year-old daughter, Yael, was when her little daughter was taken to the apartment hiding space. Right before Yael had her mouth covered by her mother, she asked her mother "Where is my little pacifier." There was no time to search for the pacifier. Minutes later Smadar covered Yael's mouth to keep her from revealing the hiding space. Smadar soon felt her daughter's tiny tongue licks and lip sucking on the palm of her hand. She didn't know what to make of it at first but hours later was told by doctors and paramedics that the reason Yael was licking her palm while she covered her mouth was because she was gasping for air. According to a 1979 Israeli Maariv (Hebrew: מַעֲרִיב‎) Newpaper which described details of this attack: After drowning Danny in the sea in front of little Einat (all this taking place as Ahmed Al-Brass, Mhanna Salim Al-Muayed, and Abdel Majeed Asslan stood and served as look outs and backup cover for Kuntar), Kuntar, then turned his attention towards the frightened little 4-year old. He took his rifle and then swung it across the little toddler's head, knocking her to the ground. As little Einat was knocked to the ground, she was screaming and crying hysterically "mommy daddy help me," while thrashing her little legs around in the sand. But unfortunately Einat was alone, and no one was there to save her. Kuntar then dragged the little toddler a couple of feet to the closest rock he could find, this was while she was begging him not to hurt her. Kuntar, then laid her head down on a rock, with the intention of crushing it with the butt of his rifle. Einat, instinctively covered her head with her little arms, Kuntar struggled with the little toddler until he finally managed to clear her arms out of the way so that he could aim for her head. Once her arms were out of the way, Kuntar proceeded on beating her on the head over and over with the butt of his rifle, and repeatedly stomping on her little body as hard as he could as well, until blood rushed out of her ears and mouth, and her little cries faded away as she was knocked into unconsciousness. Then, to ensure she was dead, Kuntar continued on beating her over the head, as hard as he could, several more times until her skull was crushed and she was dead.

you voted for Kadima.... why do you complain?

Yes. It is best so!

Where are people like Golda Meir when we need her? NO negotiations for terrorists! It's time to officially change Israeli law and implement the death penality. If we have witnesses or forensics or confessions or any of the legal prerequisits in many 1rst world countries and if they can be very safely arrested (as well as for any conspirators), then a trial in a week, a death sentense the next day, and after that bill everything to the family of those executed. Of course, all this is ludicrous, as the Israel government, as everybody writes, is bent on suicide. (Also, shred the petition from 111 countries who signed regarding 'Cluster Bombs,' remember most have munitions just as bad and/or could care less about the Kuntar's festering in Israel).

YOU ARE 100% CORRECT.

Solitary confinement forever. No sunlight, no sea-breeze, no cool night air. Find a nice closet in a basement somewhwere where a leaky toilet drips on him for the next 60 years. His life should be as worthless as he is. Never let him go. Never let nasrallah say, "I said I'd get him released and I did."

How sick. Olmert must be thrown out with Barack, Livini and the rest of the coorrupt and stupid Kadima Clowns. Bbi Israel never needed someone so much as they need you now. Stop the madness. Stop the self-destructive insanity of these horrible idiots who now lead Israel.
