and the families allowed to move on. It is harsh but the only way we can ensure there isn't a next time. All this does is condition our enemies to kidnap Israeli citizens. If we absolutely have to do this deal, send our prisoners back in coffins. Execute kuntar and the others and give Hizbollah body parts.

This is wrong. There should never be exchange like this. Very bad decision by Olmert and his lawyers.

or is Hizbullah trying to pull another stunt of exchanging terrorists and murderers with blood on their hands for bones?

to the families of the dead that these released terrorists will kill in the future? Unless the 2 israeli prisoners are still alive, this is a no win deal for Israel. Olmert is a disgrace and is only thinking about himself....not Israels security!

Sima Kadmon should go a step further. Since all soldiers are in potential danger of being wounded, captured or killed, in order to make sure these dreadful things don't happen to our sons, and so that we need never again "forget or have to pay the price of abandonment", we should just dissolve the whole bloody army and keep everyone peacefully at home - until the Arabs wipe us out. No normal nation places the fate of its soldiers above the fate of civilians. The purpose of an army is to protect the country. We've left the ghetto and now are supposedly an independent, sovereign state..... remember?

Sima Kadmon shows her true colors by using language that supports Arab propaganda. The Israelis held were all kidnapped. They are therefore either hostages or prisoners of war. The Arabs held were all arrested, tried and convicted by Israeli courts for specific crimes they personally committed. If Sima Kadmon does not see the difference she should condemn the Israeli courts for being a farce and collaborators with a great injustice. We are waiting for the condemnation

If Regev and Goldwasser were alive I would move mountains and pay a high price for theyre return but for their bodies NO WAY! If one agrees to pay a high price for bodies what incentive is there for the enemy to ever keep theyre hostages alive? Better for them to extract the same high price for bodies and body parts. They should know the red line, you want live body like kuntar you better preserve your hostages alive otherwise you can only get bodies or body parts in return. If this deal goes thru and bodies are returned expect NEVER to see another live body returned EVER. And seeing they are already buried somewhere you dont sacrifice live future potential victims just so they can be buried at home.

I think that there is a 95% plus probability that we are exchanging live terrorists for our soldiers remains, so unlike Arad who was alive for some time this situation is different. Still it would be right to let their families move on with some closure and the deal while painful might still be the right choice. With one important provision. We, as a country, have to decide that we will literally turn as much of Lebanon as needed into a graveyard in retaliation the next time (and there will be a next time) Hizbolla does this. Secondly, Nasralla shouldn't think that this is a truce. He is a walking dead man.

we should relase the hesbullah scum in exchange for our boys and as soon as we get our boys back drop a huge bomb on the animals we just released. that way they animals will never know that if the kidnap again wether or not we do the same again. with these people the only way is to keep them guessing

Just by lookjing on the faces of the Regen and Goldwasser families we can only guess that they have been informed of the worst. Do not add additional pain to them by having a killer released to Hizballah.

for LIVING terrorists. The 2 soldiers have been murdered by Hizbullah. Enough of this 1 israeli for 500 arab terrorists. ENOUGH. How shortsighted are we? Those 500 terrorists go on to live and murder or harm HUNDREDS MORE Jews.
